The eggs, the eggs, the eggs ...
In "Alien", the creature that came forth from the egg (and thenceforth, Kane) on the Space Jockey's derelict was biomechanical in appearance.
Was this due to genetic engineering on the Space Jockey's home planet, or due to being placed on the floor of the spacecraft for so long (hence, absorbing and imprinting itself with genetically useful characteristics
the vessel itself)?I personally got the idea they eggs were cargo, nothing more. I have no Idea where the "SJ" got them, but some have speculated the Xenomorphs were genetically engineered by them (perhaps as bioweapons)?
My apologies if this question has appeared on this newsgroup earlier.
