I am currently collating a synopsis, which I will then expand into a screenplay for an Alien semi-sequel. There will be two main elements to the narrative structure... 1. The main story telling of a Weyland-Yutani R&D vessel landing on LV-426. Officially, they are there to ascertain the cause and damage caused by the destroyed Atmosphere Processor. Unofficially they are there to ascertain if the Derelict was affected, and if not to acquire the specimens they so desire. 2. Flashbacks experienced by the captain (whose identity will be revealed later on in the story) of all the key events and factors that have happened up to this point in time (2179), and factors that will have an effect on events yet to occur (Alien Resurrection). Regards point one, I will reveal that as we go along, but regards point two, maybe you all can help. I'll start things off... 1. Why the USCSS Nostromo was chosen for the mission to carry out Special Order 937. 2. The why and how of the Nostromo's science officer being replaced with Ash while the vessel is docked at Thedus. Now over to you guys...

Don't underestimate the usefulness of [url=http://time.absoluteavp.com/index.html]THIS SITE[/url] as a source for research for this project. Some of the things like time, distances, dimensions, etc. (some already Q&A'd above) have been answered by a team in a collaborative manner (such as we're doing here).

Most notable is that the Derelict was affected: "All that remains of Hadley's Hope is a large crater thanks to the atmosphere processor going critical. The Ilium Range: Located approximately 20-30 km* in an easterly direction of Hadley's Hope lies an unremarkable mountain range, that has been volcanically active during the mid 22nd century. The Derelict: Just east again of the Ilium Range, on a high plateau, is a gigantic Derelict spacecraft of unknown origin, that was investigated by the crew of the USCSS Nostromo in 2122 and again by the Jorden family in 2179. Discovered on board was a fossilised Alien organism (type unknown) and thousands of Alien 'eggs'. One of these 'eggs' infected Exec Officer G.W. Kane in 2122 and another infected Russ Jorden in 2179 with xenomorph spore. The Derelict was destroyed after Hadley's Hope was obliterated in 2179." The HH explosion was going to be the size of Nebraska. This would have enveloped the derelict since it was 'Located approximately 20-30 km' away....and putting HH at the center of Nebraska this means no derelict, no eggs, and no need for the company to go back to investigate any derelict. But I do love the thread, especially the part where Bishop sneaks off to pick up two eggs (from either the queens chamber though implausible since she is taking the most direct root, but most likely from the derelict itself which wouldn't be that far to travel in his drop-ship; although they only had what 29 minutes left ("plenty of time", according to Bishop). Eggs were in only one of two places (the queen's lair and the derelict) so say he flew to the derelict, how long does it take to get there, land, get-out, enter structure through the crack Newt's dad did, grab an egg under each arm, return to ship and make it in time. Bishop must be one industrious little droid....

Snorkelbottom, 2 questions. 1. Will you be tying in AVP? 2. Will this be considered canon? LOL Sparatcus, you're referring to Charles Bishop Weyland and AVP ?!?, so it's okay as long as it's not canon? haha, LOL. Back to your thread Snorkelbottom, this sounds great. From all the knowledge of facts and trivia that you and Spartacus (along with many other other members here have) will come up with a great story. BTW don't forget to include where the hell that damn egg on the Sulaco came from, give us a definitive answer so I can quit seeing the same thread popping up. LOL

Believe me, I loved where this was going (and it still can if we omit the detail that the derelict isn't there anymore), but like you said about the writers for Alien 3 having more worries such that they didn't enough research.....so might we even in a Monday-Morning-Quarterback's-Chair quite easily if WE don't take heed and do proper research. Let's keep going, though....

@abordoli... 50km, please cite your reference. Surely if it was that close they would have discovered in the 20 years the colonists were there. If changes are made to both Aliens and Alien 3 for continuity reasons, the facehuggers come from the science lab in Hadleys Hope.

The site has a repository for all the non-canon stuff (called 'Banned Histories'). Making the rest of it, quite canonical, IMO. The contributors even invited criticism. OK, for the sake of this W.I.P., let's assume the derelict throws up a shield protecting it from the HH blast. Continue.....

like i said i'm working of the films, so unless it states in aliens a distance with the blast radius then its fair game.
