The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Depends on what orders come back. Perhaps await reinforcements and then BAM - Full-on Colonial Marine goodness!!!
In fact, it could end up a battle between CMs and WY troops over who secures the colony first.


If the dropship hadn't crashed, and they had blasted off, they would have nuked the site from orbit. It was their entire plan, and the only way to be sure. There would be no invasion.

Guys some of you need to read the question again it says "survive the initial encounter" that would be the SNAFU in the Atmosphere Processor!
So votes for Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez and come to that Spunkmeyer and Ferro are all invalid since none of them died in that encounter! :roll:

Unless you count everything prior to the Last Stand in Operations as the first encounter and even then no-one saw Spunkmeyer or Ferro actually die! :twisted: True he got a spoogey hand and a xeno did enter the cockpit behind Ferro but who's to say the blood on the inside of the canopy wasn't actually a superficial wound and she actually managed to eject before the xeno finished her off or the Dropship crashed? :shock:

Just Sayin' ;)


Beat me to it :D

gotta be Ferro, if she'd have been a little quicker with that pistol and hopefully avoided the acid spray :lol:

It is a toss up between Drake and Frost for me.

Another vote for Frost here.

Drake and Vasquez were two similar, so in the story the time would have been split between them.

But Apone would have been a close 2nd. Though he would outrank Hicks, he struck me as the professional seasoned NCO, so would also have been willing to nuke the complex to get the job done. He would take Ripley's advice, as she knew more about what they were dealing with. Also, .after the deaths of HIS marines, and the betrayal, I think he'd have wasted Burke faster than Hicks or Hudson would have.
