We are drawn into movie
three, very creatively named

Alien³, though they stylized
it into Alien³ (which totally
makes it worlds cooler, or
something), with a fire on board
the ship they’re in cryosleep
on. Somewhere, there are two
hatched Xeno-eggs visible
and a crewmember can be
seen having a facehugger for a
companion, as the ship ejects a
pod with them towards a planet
it’s passing by. It turns out to be
a prison-planet, full of criminals

Ripley in an exo-suit. The Queen
is tossed into space, and the few
survivors (including Newt) enter
cryo-sleep as they head back to
Earth. I feel I have to mention
that, since you see the Queen
float away, she’s probably still
floating somewhere and plotting
her revenge. I know I would.
Maybe she’ll get lucky and meet
the Xenomorph from the first
movie!
