After she is rescued in “Aliens,” Ripley has to endure by means of a company inquest through which she’s compelled to relive what she noticed aboard the Nostromo. Through the assembly, she reveals what Kane noticed whereas aboard the Derelict, telling them, “Kane, who went into the ship, mentioned he noticed hundreds of eggs there. 1000’s.” Though it is true that Kane did discover a large nest aboard the alien ship, he by no means tells her or the crew at any level that there have been hundreds of eggs. As Kane is initially lowered into the ship, he stories being in some kind of a cave. He says that it feels the matters in there earlier than ultimately taking within the Engineers’ structure and art work.
As soon as he reaches the underside, Kane stories again the next: “The pit is totally enclosed. And it is stuffed with leathery objects, like eggs or one thing.” He by no means says something concerning the variety of eggs earlier than he will get slapped with a facehugger, and he by no means mentions this once more after recovering. Solely the viewers, Kane, and his rescuers Lambert and Dallas would have identified what number of eggs have been down within the ship. If somebody did ultimately relay this data to Ripley, it decidedly was not Kane, since he would not appear to have any recollection of the occasion after waking up post-facehugger elimination.
