Short:
Ripley is ressurrected twohundred years after Alien3 from a blood sample
they took from her just after her impregnation. The spore inside the original
Ripley grew little 'feelers' into her body, which itself consisted of possible
spores for new aliens if seperated from the original spore. Therefore, when
Ripley is cloned, a little part of the original spore is also incubated, and
the new 'Company' obtains a new Alien Queen embryo from her. (This idea was
originally from yours truly; more information about this alien spore idea can
be obtained by emailing me. -Eelko de Vos)
This clone of Ripley tries to figure out who and what she is, and finds out
that the alien DNA that's been part of her from 'birth' gives her heightened
sensitivities and abilities. (This certainly was not. -EdV)
While the new Ripley tries to figure out what she is: human, alien or a new
being, a group of scientists, soldiers and mercenaries tries to stop their ship
-heading for Earth- carrying New and Improved Alien Species.

Any new rumours can be send to 'E.W.C.deVos@Student.twi.TUDelft.nl'. Please
state where you got the rumours from, and what the status is: confirmed by
20th Century Fox or not.
