QuoteFew weird things though, WY seems very confused by the details of the incident on Fury 161. Even going as far as believing there were two facehuggers?
It's a long standing theory that there were two huggers. Always have to remember that the 'voice' of this book wasn't an eyewitness, but compiling available data. Data that was primarily relating to the theatrical cut of the film in which there was no super hugger.
QuoteIt has a very detailed outline of the life cycle but does not take egg morphing into consideration, does anyone know the reasoning behind this?
It's only ever appeared in one film, which was a directors cut. While the theatrical cut has pretty much taken precedence there is this:
"Data supports obligate parthenogenesis—that is, that
the Xenomorph reproduces exclusively through asexual
means—but until adult specimens of XX121 can be properly
studied, it is impossible to further classify the full means or
method of reproduction."
So it's not ruling egg morphing out.
QuoteCan you point me to where it references them?
The timeline references Isolation in 2137 and Fire & Stone in 2219. There's the odd reference to River of Pain in the text. Sea of Sorrows occurs after the book was produced.
Quoteignoring for the moment that it says nothing about the EU
The only 'EU' under consideration is listed above.
Quoteit also doesn't have any information about the events occurring after Prometheus (assuming Alien: Covenant can be in the same universe as Alien 3 and Rez).
Anything post-Prometheus had been redacted in the manner of Shaw and David's crew profiles.
