Where are they coming from?

[Shadow Raptor]

One egg = one Alien. So where do you guys think we're getting all our Aliens from? Overrun colony/ship, contaminated research labs?

I could personally see(and hope) for all three:

Overrun colony: Tried and true works in the movie, lots of unprotected hosts, best if used with a contaminated lab to explain how the Xeno's got there. Then again, Aliens are quite adept at stoawaying so that works too.

Overrun ship: Nothing like bieng trapped in a metal can with something else that can rip through that metal(or bleed through it). Hoping that we can use the Sulaco and maybe find a colony ship thats adrift and packed to the brim with hungry Aliens. After a frantic scouting party escape we use the Sulaco's armaments to blow the ship away!

Research Lab: Always cool to see sterile labs and holding cells filled with blood and bodies. As I said before would work well with colony, but we'll see what they got in store for us.

Any other ideas?

If you mean in ACM, then the first one (and the rest to come) have to come from the Derelict which is supposed to be the only egg source after Hadley's Hope went fireworks. If It's true that GB is going canon, then It should be like that.

Even If the ugly bitch would had layed a third egg...,I don't know, I thought the Sulaco was destroyed too, but when GB wanna start the game on that level, it could be anything

Let's see what the battletstart galacitca guy has come up with for the ocassion

Hmmm, wasn't sure how far Hadley's Hope was from the Derelict, though it might have been caught up in the blast. Hopefully not.

And I'm pretty sure the Sulaco wasn't destroyed, just evacuated the survivors due to a fire in the cryo hold. Which we all know our Alien buddy started. I figured the Sulaco would just continue on its way back to Gateway or wherever.

Seriously can't wait for this game!


And go Battlestar Galactica wooooo! Still waiting for my beta invite and for them to release Battlestar Galactica online.

I don't think they would destroy the derelict! If they did it would kinda be a big insult to the fans and the franchise!

[Shadow Raptor]

True, wouldn't really be fair "killing" off something we don't understand. Hopefully we get sent to the Derelict and have to explore and investigate the ship.

I might crap myself if we have to go down and look at the sight Kane does in the movie Alien! lol

[Shadow Raptor]

Definately be an "oh my god" moment in game. I'm actually hoping they do let us explore it.

[Bigapps17]

That would be so awesome! I would love to get a chance to see the space jockey up close!

Well the first mission was described in an article a long time ago as being set on the USS Sulaco. Apparently when the Queen stowed away on the gunship, she had more than one or two eggs on her somehow. So if the first level is indeed aboard the (supposedly) abandoned warship, then there are bound to be xeno stowaways. At least according to this preview article I found: link.

Yeah I remember that detail from the gameinformer article way back! lol I can't wait to go and explore!
