Are there any generally successful techniques to survive xeno encounters? Other than blasting them? Or just "The Newt"?

redshirt posted:Are there any generally successful techniques to survive xeno encounters? I understand the words, just not in that order. Seriously though, one of the themes of the Aliens movies is people mostly don't survive. Mostly. Even the ones who live are all kinds of hosed up afterward. I would say the tenets of an Alien move are: 1. You never know what you're walking into 2. You never have enough equipment / supplies 3. The xenos always find a way to gently caress up your plans or get into the worst possible place to be (for you) 4. (almost) Everyone dies

The Xenos show a strong preference for heat and humidity; what about freezing them? How about sonic weapons? A frequency that causes them pain. This is why we need to bring one back to Earth. To study!

Your chances, if you wish to call them that, will slightly increase if you have a reproductive system. I won't say more.

I don't think people really get a choice to survive a xeno encounter, the best is going out on your terms like in the miner fan film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUMsMaVhnQs

The opposite; the Queen, her eggs, and the cocooned colonists were all near the atmosphere processor’s primary heat exchangers.

I think the guys from PIG were onto something; just keep attaching high-yield explosive charges to livestock (or pirates) until the problem solves itself.

I'm sure they don't *like* cold, but Xenos can survive in vacuum and I have it on good authority that 'it is verrrry cold .... in spaaaaaaaaace.'

In addition to nobody hearing you scream in space, nobody can hear anyone complain about the cold either. Shorts-and-hoodies guys remain unaffected by the cold out there, somehow.

You know, that movie had a lot of problems, but the xenos slaughtering one of their own to escape was loving brilliant. On a related note I have discovered the key to enjoying AvP 2. I realized that AvP 2 is essentially "What if Aliens and Predators fought in Dawson's Creek" and >bam< just like that it's a super fun movie.

They built a xenomorph top security future prison where they torture xenomorphs and never even considered one might ever get a paper cut. In this theoretical movie sequel that does not exist.

This just went up on YouTube. It’s a pretty drat sweet fanfilm, set in WWI (I have nothing to do with it. I saw it on an Aliens subreddit) Aliens and ANZAC troops in WWI Trust me, watch it! https://youtu.be/h5Fnlq2T0Vg?si=7YgudukYRmKe9Yq6 MrMojok fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Considering how we fared against the Turks at Gallipoli, I’m sure I can guess who wins that encounter.

Isn't this factoid a creation of the comics? I remember a line like that in Theory of Alien Propagation or whatever it was called. But we can hear the Queen breathing in Aliens, and while I concede this doesn't necessarily mean vacuum hibernation isn't possible it seems to me that the movie canon is less clear on that. Either way though, being blown out an airlock seems like a one-way ticket to an eternity of drifting, unless she happened to come across the unluckiest space ship in history.

Interesting. I could have sworn Ash mentions that in Alien, but nope. Big Chap climbs back into the Narcissus' engine at the end of Alien, but that doesn't prove it can survive long in space. I always thought that vacuum survival and extended hibernation were canon Xeno traits, but I can't find reference to those in a canon source. Clearly eggs are viable for hundreds or thousands of years (the derelict was envisioned by O'Bannon to be ancient) but not the rest of the life cycle. Regardless, yes it was in the comics.

Pretty sure the Queen getting blasted out of the Sulaco in Aliens burned up on reentry to Acheron and/or died from impact.
