Thats not to discount what the Novel is describing, just saying the Derelict Beacon Mission shows NO signs of a DOOR. The only visible other Door Ways are the one that leads to the Beacon and again this has a similar TUNNEL to the Entrance and again NO visible Door. I wonder HOW different the Novel describes the Event and Layout compared to the Game, as in the Game they Enter via the Same openings that the Nostromo Crew do, only they Follow the Tunnel around and it Gradually leads to the Pilot Room, it appears the Entrance Point to the Pilot Room from this TUNNEL has NO kind of Door. I am going to assume the NOVEL is recounting THIS Mission from the Game. So maybe the Derelict Pilot Chair functions the SAME, i would assume so. Regarding the MASK, then indeed if we are looking at the Space Jockey as NOT a Suit then it does get around HOW the Face Hugger could get to the Pilot.īut something to Consider is Prometheus were we saw the Engineer got into the Seat and the Seat Attached the Suit to the Engineer. The other option would have to be that a Face Hugger had got loose and found a way to the Space Jockey away from the Cargo Hold. As this could be a Plausible way that the Space Jockey got infected by his OWN Cargo.

We have to ASSUME there is a way to Access the Cargo Hold from inside the SHIP. It is indicate the Eggs are a Bio-Weapon that was intended to be USED, and we have covered HOW the Eggs would be deployed before, i cant see them being DROPPED down, certainly NOT from any Height. The way this happened and lay-out really depends on what the Purpose was for. I think certainly there had to be a way those Eggs got on the Ship. I have not read any Novels apart from ALIEN and ALIENS, so i cant comment on the Ramp. Are they not aware of the route Ridley Scott took: that David is the creator of the xenomorph? Are they not aware of the problem: If the Derelict and the Space Jockey have been there for a very long time, David cannot be the creator of the xenomorph.īigDave Deacon Member 10325 XP Aug-04-2019 1:42 PM So, my point is that in this novelization, published this year (2019), and which a representative of 20th Century Fox was involved in, they still stick to the Derelict and the Space Jockey being very old (and organic - not synthetic). Still, it’s “alien life forms” surrounded by mist and “a vague blue light seemed to come from the floor”. The ship had been there for a very long time, as the desiccated pilot proved”. He concludes that the “idea seemed ridiculous. Furthermore, he ponders whether the eggs can still be alive. Marlow descends and seeing the huge area with rows after rows of eggs, he wonders if this is really a part of the ship or a cave beneath it. Then, they find the hole which Kane entered and the equipment used to lower him down (and up). Later on, Marlow finds the beacon and turns it off (which is why the colony of Hadley’s hope didn’t pick up the signal). It’s definitely a life form” (That seems to leave out David as the Space Jockey. Its ribcage had exploded outwards and Marlow comments: “it’s hard to tell where the suit ends and the wearer begins, but it’s not a synthetic. The “human form was huge - at least 16 feet tall - and it had been there a long time. Who or what did that?Īnyway, they continue inside the huge spacecraft and finally get to a huge room. Foster (the wife of Captain Marlow) comments that “Somebody must’ve knocked the door off”. They find the Derelict and enters an opening without a door. So, what is the problem? Well, the crew of Anesidora follow the distress signal they have picked up to LV-426. In his “Acknowledgements”, he mentions Steve Tzirlin at 20th Century Fox as supplying “reference material and approvals” and who “guided the story” in many ways.

DeCandido and published this year (2019). The novelization Alien: Isolation is written by Keith R. How old is he? How long has the Derelict been there? How old are the eggs? Can David be behind it all? Can he be the creator of the xenomorph? It’s about 18 years between the occurrences on Planet 4 and Alien. We have had many a discussion about the Space Jockey. Then they pick up a distress call which leads them to LV-426. On it is the name of the disappeared ship: UCSS Nostromo. Īt the beginning of the novel, the salvage vessel Anesidora finds a flight recorder.

The year is 2137, about 15 years after the occurrences of Alien, and 42 years before Aliens. We follow Amanda Ripley to Sevastopol Station in search of her mother who disappeared with the towing ship Nostromo. The novel is based on the horrifying game with the same name.
