It was mentioned somewhere that AC was going to bring to light the Xenomorph's ability to get around so quickly undetected.  Lets discuss your opinions on how they interface with our technology in order to do that.   Example in Alien it used the air ducts but was able to bypass the Iris's and get where it needed to.

I see the other way around i see ..neomorohs super primitive ans viscous..like they really want blooood and to kill..total animals.

 

And see the deacon as a highly inteligent being due to the unique process of creation combining engineer...humans and black goo. When he births i notice he looks confused he is looking the surroundings like hes already thinking like hes rational its the feeling i get before he unleashes that powerfull roar.

The jaw resembles a queen at some point yet different but im betting on ultramorph...something queen size but more elegant and deadly..not so clumsy and heavy

For me the deacon is trully an unexpected outcome and evolution conceived..not even the engineers know what that is and capable of. For me the deacon is the step further on xeno evolution something really unique and unseen.

We have to get back to lv 223..learn what happened..whats there in other pyramids...and say hi to him...he needs to eat.

Yes i think the One leak was not the same as 4Chan guy in general and they said the Alien moves around with a Special Trick that could well divide Alien fans... so its something some may feel is silly.

I remember reading from this some speculate they can transform there internal body to become more like a loose mass and then be able to squeeze in tight gaps...

I hope not... the whole idea of being able to say deflate its mass like a Balloon or Whoopie Cushion does not sit well with me.

Another refereed to Jack in the Box... now does this mean springs up... or maybe just how its bones and joints can shrink down like when you put away a Jack in the Box or a Slinky etc.

From what i had been told, they have re-designed the Leg and Back joints, so they fit more with the Aesthetics of the Queen rather than the Man in Suit look...

And this style of limps and how they now mainly crawl to move fast will explain how they are so fast and agile... and that they are able to move around as nimble as Mice/Rats can.

It would be interesting if they had sort of a chameleon ability too.

Making the Xeno smarter makes it scarier. Giving it new, unpleasant ways to interact with hosts/prey would add a fear factor as well. Scrunching up to fit in tight spaces... Less so.

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

I can only suspect that the Xenomorph is just incredibly strong and is able to move really quickly along all surfaces. Perhaps it can sense any open space in its way so it can plan its route quickly, using vents and air shafts. I don't think it possesses the ability of teleportation haha

Guys n Gals

Honestly, I think the Xeno uses some sort of ultrasonic type of echo location, way above human hearing.  Kind of like dolphins, but through air.  This could explain away the Xeno's huge dome.   No need for eyes if you have echo location and can see everything around your environment.  Dolphins also use echo location as a means of communication over long distances.

 

That and I think it would be awesome to see it interact with its environment mechanically.  Such as using keypads, knobs, cranks, and handles.  The creatures are intelligent.  If anyone recalls Ridley wanted the alien to kill Ripley in the narcicuss and then type in coordinates for earth until a Fox exec was flown out to tell Ridley NO.  With that, said I think the Xeno has a human intelligence but uncontrollably driven by instinct so it can interact like a human would trying to solve a problem.

Both Murphy in Alien3 and Christie in Resurrection had acid spat in their faces.

u would think even in the vents, the size of the xeno would make it difficult to move around unnoticed. I think they must be able to snap limbs/ apendiges into different positions to allow them more agility

nin, and dk,

How does  spitting have anything to do with how the Xeno gets around quickly and unnoticed?
