Egg on Sulaco

[SiL]

Interesting to note in Alien they only couldn't because they didn't fix all the damage before leaving ("We're still blind on B and C decks").

[Corporal Hicks]

That's horseshit. They didn't need it.

I was glad they did include some dialogue like that, though.

[SiL]

Everyone died because of Dallas.

Interesting to note it was easier to hand-make a motion tracker for Ash than it was to get the cameras working for Brett and Parker.

[SM]

Fair's fair.  They had to make them cattle prods.

[Corporal Hicks]

I don't think they put any priority on actually repairing the cameras after take-off, did they? Even when Kane bursted?

[SM]

I daresay their top priority was finding and killing the Alien rather trying to make repairs while it was loose.

[HuDaFuK]

Plus, fixing the cameras would've involved going where the Alien was.

Right, but having eyes on B and C deck would've helped with that.

Plus, fixing the cameras would've involved going where the Alien was.

They had no way of knowing that, and at that point, thought it was a worm.

Which they wouldn't have known. Unless we're talking post-Brett.

I was thinking more in terms of these particular repairs helping them find the Alien.

As far as they knew, up until Brett was killed, it was a small Snake like creature. They were likley not to scared and just searching for it may have seemed like a quicker task than spending untold time repairing the surveillance systems to those decks.

[HuDaFuK]

Yeah, that. By the time they realised the cameras would've been worth it, it was too late for them to risk the time it would take to repair them.

[SiL]

Right: making the tracker was faster than making the repairs.

[Salt The Fries]

Right: making the tracker was faster than making the repairs.

Right.

[Russ840]

Well the crew clearly thought so. Hence why they made it instead of repairing those damaged systems.

Also a safer bet than repairing systems that probably require performong work at varying locations on the ship.

[Vermillion]

So the Sulaco would of found the egg itself?
Company orders to ignore the scan results?
