Egg on Sulaco

[S.E.B.]

ALIEN 3 is still my second favorite out of all the Alien movies, with ALIEN always being number one.

You kinda remind me of SpreadEagleBeagle.  The resemblance is uncanny.

The force is strong with this one 

Gonna keep reiterating (it's that time of year, right?) - most sensible explanation for the egg is another story set between Aliens and Alien 3 that we haven't seen yet. Somewhere during those events / that story, the Sulaco is compromised. Somewhere during those events, there is a crash landing into the drop ship bay, damaging the adjacent cryo chamber, forcing Ripley and Co to use the civilian cryo chamber in the lower decks, accounting for the difference in design of the entire room and the tubes. This also gives the 'Alien 5' fan crowd their Ripley, Hicks and Newt story they are craving, whilst not contradicting anything seen/said in Alien 3 for those of us who know the third movie is fine art. No more magic egg, leaking queen vagina, egg growing from bishops legs, etc etc..no more 'dream sequences' required... no more ripples in the water.. 😁👍

Ahh, I see you are a man of culture as well.. 😁👍

I like the way you think and I agree with you a 100%!

I thought for SpreadEagleBeagle ALIEN3 is number one🤔

Anyway, welcome back!😅

Thank you, it feels good to be back!

ALIEN and A3 have always been neck to neck, but in the end ALIEN is a more solid movie. With that said, my love for A3 just keeps growing every time I watch it.

But what about Aliens though?

Solid 3rd place after Alien and Alien 3 of course! 😁👍

But where did the egg come from?!

But where did the egg come from?!

Well, that's easy... *clears throat*

Picture the scene: Hadley's Hope, LV-426

Supply ship docked at the loading bay. The crew are debating the wild shit they've overheard at the bar - rumours of some colonist wildcatter being brought in with some sort of animal on his face - got the whole medlab area quarantined - captain thinks it's a crock of shit, there's no life on this rock, besides, this is their last supply run after an 8 month stint - will be back in the freezers in several hours, far away from this hellhole - 3 months leave with a tidy paycheque.

*several hours later*

Final flight checks underway, last of the empty supply crates back in the hold..

*alarm sirens* some chatter on the bridge comms from Hadley Control about initiating lockdown procedures. f**k that shit - no way in hell spending another second on this shithole. Time to roll.

Perhaps had they not been distracted by Hadley Control barking down the radio that they weren't clear for takeoff, they might have noticed on the crt monitor, the pink snake-like object slithering across the loading bay door as it sealed..

**One month later**

Isn't this thread about the Egg on Sulaco?

Perfect, case solved, let's go home everybody

Is LV-419 a planet?  How would Ripley get there?  Can she fly a dropship?

LV-419 is a small moon. Sulaco lands (same way we see the Patna land on Fury 161) Ripley as a qualified flight officer is able to set Sulaco down with the aid of MU/TH/UR, and Bishop (the onboard systems do most of the work anyway).

Will they meet a guy named Turk?

Sure, if you wish 🤣 I mean someone needs to be eggmorphed into a superhugger - shit whilst we're at it, can make the opening stage of 'Alien 3: The Gun' canon - showing there were shitloads of eggs on the sulaco.. they just missed one before going back in the freezers.

Speaking of canon, there was a great 'Canon War' a long time ago...





I know this because I loyally served General SM in battle.



I'm afraid he might be the only one capable of solving this mystery...I find the Turk theory fascinating though

[Acid_Reign161]

Well if you are talking about 'Colonial Marines' my take is the events are canon, just not what we see in game (a bit like the game 'Alien Trilogy' - the basic premise is the same, but what we play is like a retelling, getting lots of details incorrect, such as the prison being on LV-426, or Ripley entering the derelict etc).

Colonial Marines is definitely canon. Why? We know from Tanaka 5's communications in the Colonial Marines Technical Manual that Weyu went back to LV-426 to secure the derelict. And two separate games, both with different takes (Colonial Marines and Infestation) claim the same ship was dispatched there, The Sephora. It's simply an issue if working out what is 'white noise' so to speak. If you don't take what you play literally, then it's very easy to see how the Colonial Marines events fit into the canon nicely.
