Animal Hour
In the script and the novelization, Dallas finds an open egg. He

doesn't

realize what it is. It just looks like an urn to the expedition

members.

In the script, the "urn" is near the pilot. (In the novelization, IIRC,

Volt
there

Animal Hour
is **no** pilot.)

I wonder why the open egg isn't in the movie.

Volt
That's a good point. Both stories are a little ambiguous - why would there be just one egg in the cockpit, threatening the pilot, when there rest are all in the hold. Or, if there is no egg in the cockpit, how did one of the facehuggers get out of its egg and out of the hold to say hello to the SJ when the rest all remain in hibernation - forced by the SJ or otherwise?

Poss. Scenario...

SJ is impregnanted at the pyramid Falls into coma Is taken back to his ship. It falls off. He appears to recover. He sits in his piloting chair. Which is secluded form the rest of the ship (I Dunno why,m it just IS !!!! ;' ) )

WHACK !

Chestburster comes out. Grows. Grabs a crew member. Cucoons it.

And the cycle begins !

LAMBERT: " I wonder what happened to the rest of the crew?"
