Now that we have seen David communicating of sorts with both the adult neomorph & the infant xeno/protomorph in AC, it has got me pondering the relationship hinted at between Ash and the original xeno in 'Alien'. He's asked if he tried to communicate with it and somewhat bashfully replies as to let his grave hold some secrets, implying that he probably did. Now that we have actually seen that some form of communication appears to happen between AI (David) and creature (neo/xeno) it has got me wondering as to whether Ash may have tipped off the big chap about what to do should the Nostromo's self-destruct klaxons go off - in other words if you hear 'this sound' then get aboard the shuttle to either ensure survival and/or pick off the remaining crew. I've always found it remarkable how the big chap managed to end up in the only safe place on the Nostromo, and how it seemed to wait there as though it knew to do so. Could this be a result of Ash effectively telling it the score and helping it along, like he was doing throughout? One thing for sure... it would have made for a creepy/memorable scene if so.
"Is that a question Sir?"
