Screenplay data
Two hundred years after her death, military scientists on the U.S.S. Auriga clone Ellen Ripley from blood samples, extracting an Alien Queen embryo from her body for study. The cloned Ripley, designated Number Eight, exhibits enhanced strength and an empathic connection to the aliens, while the scientists, led by Dr. Wren and Gediman, cultivate the Alien Queen and its offspring. A group of smugglers aboard the Betty, led by Elgyn and including the synthetic Annalee Call, arrive at the Auriga to deliver cryo-sleep passengers who are secretly intended to be hosts for the aliens. The aliens escape their containment, causing chaos and death throughout the Auriga, forcing Ripley and the Betty crew to band together to survive and prevent the ship from reaching Earth, where it is on an autopilot course.

Vriess, Ellen Ripley, Annalee Call, JohnerWREN We're not flying blind here, you know. This is United Systems military, not some greedy corporation. The potential benefits of this race go way beyond urban pacification. New alloys, new vaccines ... there's nothing like this in any world we've seen. You should be very proud.
RIPLEY There's a monster in your stomach. They (indicating the smugglers) hijacked your cryotube and sold you to him (indicatingWren) and he put an alien in you. In a few hours it will punch its way through your chest and you'll die. Any questions?
DISTEPHMO The lifts. They run straight from the top of the ship down to engineering. No stops, but if we can get in the shaft, there's a maintenece access tunnel here that runs above level one deck. Take us right to the dock.
GEDIMAN Complete asexual reproductive cycle, self-impregnating, we found six different sets of ovaries in her. Egg laying is the first cycle, immature. Redundancies, redundancies ... she'll bring forth legion.
JOHNER Oh, Christ. Doing fucking nickel and dime border runs, selling second hand junk to the farm belt... and we're carrying the most expensive piece of contraband in the system. That's rich.
WREN Well, we don't have nearly enough data... but in some cases there is a collective memory passed down generationally. At a genetic level. Like instinct, only more complex structurally.
DISTEPHANO Well, we're a ways out,of the way, but I think we can get through to the garden. From there, it's down a few levels, it's do-able. What if the fucking doctor gets there first?
ELGYN: We could use a rest, till the heat's off and Vriess can get those harvesters on their feet. This'll keep us for a couple of days, assuming the natives are friendly.
