Quote from: Scorpio on Aug 05, 2017, 10:10:03 AMBishop had about 20 minutes to fly to the derelict, get an egg, fly to the Sulaco, place the egg there then fly back to the Atmosphere Processor.IMO it was Bishop. All androids in the Alien saga have a secret agenda (David, Ash, Call). For all we know, Walter as well.

Quote from: SiL on Aug 05, 2017, 12:29:45 PMGranted, but the screen time of the initial drop is still around 5 minutes (especially if we include Hudson's DC rant).Point is it's still going to take way longer than 20 minutes to fly to the derelict, grab an egg, fly into orbit, get out of the dropship, stash the egg, and fly back down to the atmosphere processor.
Quote from: Scorpio on Aug 05, 2017, 01:26:50 PMI'm not even saying he had 20 minutes. Could have been longer, up to 30 minutes. How long was Ripley in the hive?
Quote from: Rankles75 on Aug 05, 2017, 02:23:08 PMWould have surely taken quite some time for Bishop to get down from the derelict to the egg chamber and then back again (while carrying an egg)?

Quote from: SiL on Aug 05, 2017, 01:13:55 PMWhich means landing, getting out, going into the derelict, finding the eggs, grabbing one, stopping said egg from impregnating Hicks on the way to the Sulaco, etc.
