The ICC has strict controls on biological items moving around in human space-we know this from later in Aliens, when Ripley explains to the Marines that Burke planned to stuff alien babies inside her and Newt in order to 'get an alien back through quarantine.'

Ripley refers to it as the 'ICC quarantine,' and we know from BurkeвЂ™s dialog in the Special Edition of the movie that ICC is the initialism for the Interstellar Commerce Commission (a futuristic spin on todayвЂ™s Interstate Commerce Commission), some form of future regulatory body. The 'quarantine' gets another couple of mentions in Aliens, or at least something similar. But the fact that RipleyвЂ™s character has been invited along as a 'consultant' and has to explain the aliens to the squad is proof enough that theyвЂ™ve never run into the things before-as is the total collapse of discipline and unit effectiveness that the squad undergoes when their encounter does turn into a firefight. Hudson's question in the scene above about aВ 'stand up fight' versus a 'bug hunt,' implies heвЂ™s done both before and vastly prefers the former. Even Carter Burke, the unctuous Special Projects Director of Weyland-Yutani (Space) CorpвЂ™s Special Services Division, appears skeptical of RipleyвЂ™s story (though he believes it enough to send a team of wildcatters out to the reported coordinates of the Engineer derelict, thereby causing the death of all but one of the HadleyвЂ™s Hope colonists). And then thereвЂ™s that whole Prometheus movie.Д«ut Weyland-Yutani keeps its secrets, and whatever revelations the company got out of the events in Alien were suppressed, or at least held very, very closely. And, of course, the faceless Weyland-Yutani corporation pulling the strings is clearly aware of life in the stars-after all, they diverted the Nostromo in the first movie to LV-426 specifically to bring back a sample of the alien life form which they already knew was there.

It's one of the few times in all four Alien series films where the creatures are referred to directly, rather than obliquely as 'them' or 'it.'Дuring the marinesвЂ™ post-thaw breakfast in the SulacoвЂ™s cafeteria, PFCs Frost, Spunkmeyer, and Hudson joke about 'Arcturian poontang' (along with how it apparently doesnвЂ™t matter whether the Arcturian with whom one is fooling around is male or female).

'A xenomorph,' repeats Gorman, emphasizing the syllables. 'Excuse me, sir,' interjects PFC Frost from the back row, '-a what?' 'All we know is that thereвЂ™s still no contact with the colony,' replies the lieutenant, Gorman, 'and that a xenomorph may be involved.' As the shavetail lieutenant lays out the situation, Bill PaxtonвЂ™s mouthy PFC Hudson interrupts: 'Is this going to be a stand-up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?' They laugh and joke, oozing bravado and testosterone-even the women.
