Ah, I understand now. I guess I hadn't really thought of it that way because
I didn't ever think the rest of the "Aliens" had been exterminated. I just
figured they were working with the queen from Ripley because it was cheaper
than sending ships out trying to find more Aliens. That, and anyone who
actually _found_ some Aliens weren't real likely of coming back from the
mission alive, so....
But I can see where you're coming from on that one.
