12. Alien: In the 57 years between "ALIEN" and "ALIENS", why don'tthey try again to get some alien eggs?
- The bio-weapons division possibly started the whole thing without
permission, and then, after the catastrophic failure (loss of an expensive
space ship), they destroyed all information about it, and therefore the
general managment never knew about it (This appears to be exactly the way
Burke acts in "ALIENS").
- "The company" seems to be quite large, with several divisions. Maybe the
whole alien plan was just an idea of the bio-weapons division, and after
the loss of the Nostromo the managment decided to give up because the risk
was much higher than the possible profit. Then, during the following
decades, they just forgot about it. Obviously Burke doesn't know about the
aliens before he got Ripley's report.
- It is possible that the company did not know about the aliens or anything
that occurred on the Nostromo UNTIL Ripley showed up (there is no evidence
that the Nostromo was communicating with the company in "ALIEN")
