Weyland-Yutani Corporate Travel in 2179

Ellen Ripley suspected that she was infected with a xenomorph and went through an EEV scan to confirm her suspicions.

Michael Bishop is personally dispatched in the USCSS Patna (2 hours travel time) to try and capture the xenomorph Weyland-Yutani Corporation learned of in the scan.

i watched alien 3 last night. getting a touch of the franchise while the scified boffins worked tirelessly perfecting their code for today. we are back ;) 

i love to see the timeline and all the connections that we get. adds so much depth to the franchise if done correctly.

is this yours Ingenerio or from source ?

I wrote the summary notes along side the pictures sherris.

I wanted to give a picture of the company technology beginning with the scan on Fury 161, an upload to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation network with the xenomorph confirmation, and the dispatch of Michael Bishop's team within a couple of hours of the scan.

Executive Transportation

The executives now, I'm sure, think they are really fancy with private planes, armies of servants, expense accounts that could buy small countries...but they can't get to Fiorina 161 in 2 hours with a Yutani Commando walking on each side of their pathway.

 sherris, I created the requested timeline above here.

Ingeniero - It is one of your funniest and best articles! You helped me solve a great mystery! I mean it was a mystery for me - until now:

The Queen alien is shown in the screen upside down:

Thank you so much! :D :D

Ati

'Francis Aaron ran the scan and he does not have a good poker face when looking at the screen.'

So true! :DDDDD

Ingeniero

Bishop didn't say that when trying to negotiate with Ripley in the movie...no confirmation (he doesn't say Queen) from the novelization either Ati. 

The Alien 3 novelization does seem to confirm Ellen Ripley noticed this difference in the xenomorph in the scan, see below from page 244.

"Bishop II, she told herself numbly. Bishop Redux. Bishop to pawn four; Bishop takes Queen."

It is funny that Ripley referred to the human Bishop as Bishop II.

"deprive the company from access to the queen."
