How'd the eggs get on The Sulaco? Give me your best shot

Watched Aliens and Alien 3 again....

And the Dilemma is WHY would the Queen need to use the Egg Sack to Mature/Grow the Eggs so they are then ready to LAY... if she could LAY Small Eggs that can Grow?

The Egg Sack clearly has Yolks and so the Eggs go through a Process before they are ready to be Laid.....

2nd the Area the Egg we see in Alien 3 is Planted does-not look like Part of the Drop Ship and the Queen had NO-TIME to plant any Eggs elsewhere..

Finally Bishop had NO-TIME to get a Egg/s and Sneak them to the Nostromo and NO-ONE could have got to them after the Destruction of Hadleys Hope (we assume).

That leaves us with TWO possible explanations.

1) The Sulaco had a Hidden Agent (maybe Synthetic) who had taken down a Drop Shop and Recovered some Eggs, while the Marines and Ripley were Stranded on Hadleys Hope.

The Problem with this would be surely the Agent would awaken once the Crew were in Cryo-sleep and then obtain a Host to Infect with a Face Hugger and have some Protocols to Safegaurd the Storage of a Infected Host.  Alternatively the Agent would Safeguard the Egg/Face Hugger in a way that the Specimen can be passed onto the Company.

We could have a Accidental Loss of Containment but surely a Inside Agent would INFORM the Company and the USCSS Patna would have picked the SOS up.

2) The USCSS Patna or another Ship had Followed the USCSS Sulaco and they had obtain a Specimen and then Placed it on the Sulaco.

The Problem with this would be surely they (USCSS Patna) would have known about any Failure of Containment leading to the EEV Ejection and you would have to ASK as to WHY not just keep the Specimen they obtained from LV-426 there is NO real need to place it on the Sulaco.

so again we just CANT come up with a Watertight Explanation for the Eggs on the Sulaco.

Not knowing the timeline really hurts any explanation.

Did the Sulaco head for Earth immediately? Or hang around LV-426(Still plenty of eggs aboard the derelict)...maybe it stopped at LV-223 and picked someone/thing up.

Aliens: Colonial Marines The game's plot has been stated as canon by 20th Century Fox anyway?

ACM has been struck out. Even before Isolation.

Hadley's Hope - 6 month supply ship docked, cargo offloaded. Crew in bar grabbing a beer in downtime overhear chatter regarding a Mayday call from a family of wildcatters and see vehicles heading out of the complex to assist.

Hours later, whilst prepping the ship for departure, heightened gossip and whispering in the cargo dock regarding why medlab is locked down, operations are keeping out non essential personnel and rumours of a strange animal attached to someone's face..

A short while later, as the supply ship is powering up and awaiting departure clearence, an alarm sounds - coms calling security personnel to medlab. Still awaiting clearance for take off from operations. Shit, we're on a schedule here.. Can't risk getting caught up in quarantine procedures over dumb ass colonist issues.. The button is hit.. The loading door closes, a small fleshy coloured, snake-like tail can be seen slithering over the threshold into the ship as the door closes, and she ship departs...

Several months later: USCM Sulaco - crew in stasis: 4, Destination: Returning to Gateway station from LV-426... A screen flicks into action: Promiximity alert, incoming distress beacon from colonial orbital fueling station, re-route course to intercept and assist, ending stasis programme.

*insert entire new alien movie here with Hicks, Newt, Ripley with survivors of the (docked) supply ship and orbital station... Shit goes down, ends with our three hero's (and a couple of new peeps) crashing landing a shuttle into the Sulacos loading bay (thus damaging the cryo stasis chamber on that deck) - in true xeno form, they have managed to follow and get on board the Sulaco.. *insert conflict here* everything's fine now.. Surviving crew move to lower deck cryochamber, and resume course to gateway... Pan to pulsating egg on ceiling. It opens. Credit roll.

All problems solved.

Well giving this Thought again.... then the Simple Explanation comes from ALIEN COVENANT.

Which i mentioned before.... we can ASSUME that the Eggs in the Room where David takes Oram to become Infected, had been Planted and GROWN from those Smaller Eggs we see on the Table of his Workshop.  The END of the Movie we see that David has TWO Small Face Huggers..... NOW these are NOT going to Face Hug anyone... so they MUST at some Stage GROW!

And so WHY cant a Queen Lay Smaller Eggs that can GROW?

This would be the Easiest Explanation......

Old topic. I have nothing further to add here. Thanks for the bump though
