A queen mechsuit might even make sense if it was designed to allow people to freely mingle among the aliens without being attacked.
Kind of a riff on Avatar and Jeri/Norbert. It would require some exposition to sell though. Like this:
QuoteINT. WEYLAND-YUTANI RESEARCH FACILITY - DAY
The room is dimly lit, filled with the soft hum of machinery and computers. DR. EMILIA SONG, a determined scientist in her late 40s, stands next to a large object covered by a tarp. ELLEN RIPLEY, tough and wary, looks on, arms crossed.
DR. SONG
(enthused)
Ellen, what we've developed here isn't just another tool. It's a revolutionary way to engage with the xenomorphs, to study and understand them like never before.
Ripley raises an eyebrow, clearly skeptical.
RIPLEY
Study them? The last thing we need is to get closer to those monsters. We should be wiping them out, not playing dress-up.
DR. SONG
(pulling off the tarp, revealing a towering, intricate MECHSUIT, styled ominously like an alien queen)
This isn't about play, Ellen. This is about survival. This suit mimics the appearance and chemical signature of an alien queen. It's designed to integrate seamlessly, to allow us to walk among them.
RIPLEY
(disgusted)
You think putting someone in a tin can that looks like those things is going to help? They're not stupid, Emilia.
DR. SONG
It's more than just appearances. The suit emits pheromones, mimics their communication sounds. Early tests show that it can even command lesser xenomorphs. Imagine being able to control them, redirect them away from populated areas.
RIPLEY
Or imagine it backfiring. Those creatures are killing machines. You think you can control them, but you're just opening us up to more danger.
DR. SONG
(striving for patience)
I understand your concerns, Ellen. Truly, I do. But we're out of options. Every attempt to eradicate them has failed. This suit represents a new strategy. If we can't destroy them, maybe we can coexist. Learn from them.
RIPLEY
(scornful)
Coexist with xenomorphs? You're not listening to yourself. They're not just animals. They're a perfect organism. Perfect at one thing: killing.
DR. SONG
(resolute)
And we need to be perfect at understanding them. This suit is our next step. Are you willing to see it tested?
Ripley looks at the suit, her expression mixed with fear and disbelief.
RIPLEY
(muttering)
I think it's a mistake. But then, nobody's stopped making those yet, have they?
Ripley turns and walks away, leaving Dr. Song staring after her, a mix of resolve and doubt playing across her face.
FADE OUT.
