Number 08

Wow, great catch! Perhaps this brown ampule contained a creature we yet to see in COVENANT? Or evidence of David8's experimentation!

Upvoted!

I remember reading this novelisation ago and came to the conclusion that it was an egg. Having said that the description could be that of an urn...

It's an empty egg.  It's referenced later on when Ripley finds Dallas and Brett.

There isn't a pilot room as such in the book what with the pilot not being in the book.

And the urn equals an empty egg.

Maybe but then it depends what we define as reliable sources. A movie is one source and a comic book is another, but it is an interesting observation though. Since it isn't in the movie I doubt that it is very important, but that is just my opinion.

ATI - How exceptionally fantastic! This is certainly a piece of information to keep strongly in mind! Thank you so very much for sharing this find with us! :)

ATI - My statements are quite sincere, my friend! I was not aware of this bit of information and am extremely pleased that you have presented it for us! Once again, thank very much! :)

"Yes, a bulletproof one, so it is not an egg, probably..."

Did someone shoot one to check?

"As for the post, I do not want other members to agree with me but stating that this one equals that one without reasoning is not an answer."

The "urn" they find is likened to the sealed versions Kane finds below - which were eggs, and is referenced later when Ripley finds Dallas and Brett, again, an egg.

It is quite obviously not one of the vases found on LV-223.  Not least of all because the book was written 30 years before LV-223 was even a thing.

----

The "urns" in the novel are not Engineer vases.  ADF simply likened them to urns as a way to describe their appearance, because he was going by the concept art for Alien eggs.

Speculation can introduce great new ideas, but it doesn't do anyone any favours if one isn't honest and up front about cherry picking things out of their intended context.

Especially regarding movie elements that never ended up on screen.

AIR - Hahaha! I am flattered in the extreme by your words! :)

ATI - Ugh! I am so very sorry for the spelling error! The platform upon which I am operating is temperamental at times! :)
