EditĪlthough such a rate of growth is quite unheard of in Earth's fauna, we should bear in mind that this particular life-form is extra-terrestrial, and therefore not necessarily subject to conventional wisdom about growth and development. The derelict would therefore have been a military transport ship carrying a cargo of eggs, one of which presumably attacked the crew, causing the crash. Notes by designer H.R Giger also indicate that the Alien species may have been a bio-mechanical weapon created by the "space jockey" race (this idea was the basis of the 2012 prequel Prometheus (2012)). However, as the pyramid was left out of the final script and movie, the only clue remaining is the derelict ship it seemingly landed or crashed on the planet, indicating that both the ship and the eggs came from a very different, yet unknown place. It would appear that it was the scriptwriters' intention that the Alien(s) originated on the same planet where the derelict was found. A parasite emerges and fastens itself to one of the men's faces - and cannot be removed. Lying dormant in the tomb are centuries-old spores, which are triggered into life by the men's presence. Beneath this pyramid they find an ancient tomb full of fantastic artifacts. They write: Certain clues in the wrecked ship lead them across the hostile surface of the planet to a primitive stone pyramid, the only remnant of a vanished civilization. One clue is in the early drafts of O'Bannon and Shusett's script. The origin of the Alien is a complete mystery to the crew members who have not encountered this species before. AVP and AVPR were crossover films that pair the titular Alien against creatures from the film Predator (1987) (1987). Alien:Covenant is set 10 years after Prometheus and so 20 years before Alien. Prometheus is set 30 years prior to Alien but features none of the same characters. Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection continue the story of Ellen Ripley ( Sigourney Weaver). The success of Alien fostered three movie sequels: Aliens (1986) (1986), Alien³ (1992) (1992), Alien: Resurrection (1997) (1997), two prequels Prometheus (2012) (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017) (2017), as well as two spin off films Alien vs. It's been claimed that Alien borrowed heavily from two earlier movies: It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) (1958), and Planet of the Vampires (1965) (aka Planet of the Vampires, 1965). The movie was subsequently novelized by Alan Dean Foster. EditĪlien was based on a screenplay by American screenwriters Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, with input from producers David Giler and Walter Hill. However, depending on stage of career and training, more advanced physics talents might be required in some stationed science officers as well, depending on the mission. Grounding in basic physics would probably be expected for all space flight crew. Note how we saw Ash take charge of medical care matters on the Nostromo. Science officers might then also be asked to double up in some capacity in this instance, as a medical aide. We didn't see any dedicated medical crew member on the Nostromo: perhaps because of it's small crew size, it wasn't regulation to have one. That aside, with a science background, it's possible as well science officers are best placed to take some biology and human medicine courses, or have a background in biology. That would be one form of science officer. This means having a chemistry qualified crew member is very advantageous, with a likely strong background in organic and inorganic chemistry, but definitely geological chemistry. Encountering different, and even some new, rock types is likely - especially off world, as the Nostromo mines in different planetoids far from Earth. Principally, commercial deep space ore mining will mean encountering many rock and mineral formations.
