You don't have to stop!

In Alien 3 the computed transmission from Earth & Bishop looked instantaneous to me!

Alien 3 took place after Ellen Ripley was recovered in the Narcisus 40 some odd years after the Nostromo went down on Archeron, The Sulaco made it from Sol to Zeta in a third of the time that the Nostromo was going to take to transit from Zeta Ret back to Earth. Their technology has obviously advanced since the events in Alien. Prometheus takes place even earlier. It's rumored that it's literally the FIRST FTL flight outside our immediate area of space. Thank you Biomechanic for the little bit of info on the apparent time line. If that's the case than Alien 3 was a century later. However RS isn't even going to acknowledge those films as they are outside his established canon. The transmission time roughly coincides with Weyland diverting the Nostromo from it's route from Thedus to Sol.

Still sounds like "You don't understand" and it makes perfect sense. think about it. Why would she tell somebody You don't have to stop and then go "we were wrong, I was so wrong" also, i hear Prometheus. like it is a sign on or off. This is what I hear. After listening through headphones and the slowed down version. "You don't understand" "Is it coming in?" "Prometh....Prometheus" (jumbled in delay) "I was wrong" "It was so wrong" "I'm so sorry" Sorry to keep disagreeing.

Well, I was listening to that dialogue several times too and it sounded to me pretty much like that: -You won't/don't understand -It's coming, it's coming -Prometh.. -I was wrong -We were so wrong -I am so sorry. I'm not sure whether it makes sense, but it surely doesn't sound like "you don't have to stop"/etc.

I think it is: You don't understand. Come in, come in Promethe... I was wrong We were so Wrong I'm so sorry

Ghost solitaire : Ripley was floating out there for 57 years. Regarding the teaser dialog, you really have to ask why these specific lines are used at all? "I'm so sorry"- major regret "I was wrong/we were so wrong"- portends for boding of an assumption. Repace said something about her character being a "believer", my guess is that is the context of what she is wrong about. "you don't understand"- a plea or frustration about something deadly serious. I can see this argument with Vickers, but I'm guessing. Could be with another scientist,David 4.0, or one of the mercs aboard trying to run roughshod over the civies. Ones thing is certain, Sir Ridley is going to hit us in the gut. This movie is going to be serious as sin. Greetings to all btw.

Could it be? : You have got to stop **** prometh.. prometheu... I was wr.. wrong.. it was so wrong.... (deep breathing over and over) I'm so sorry....

The idea of a last message sent to earh is very plausible ..however there is another message we know very well ...so the movie end with everyone sending messages ? hum dont know i fear that it would create some confusion ..but of course can be a shaw message "translated " by the SJs technology .

I think that transmission occurs long before the film ends Frantz, Just a guess, But I would say it's out of sequence in the trailer and you can pretty well bank on it.
