How did the entire colony get infected?


Newt's dad brings back 1 face hugger. I think it's one of the two living ones in the lab. Did they go get 100 more at that point? Did they send 100 people out to the derelict and they all wandered back after the face huggers fell off?

When did the queen show up?

It's funny to read some of the responses here how most didn't even listen to the dialog from Bishop..etc.. One commentor even said that it was Newts father who died when they tried to remove it.. listen to the name.. John J. Mariture was the victim, Newts father last name was Jordan. In an unofficial cut, there was suppose to be a search party who went down to the egg hold and 10 of them get infected and brought back..!

One thing led to another...

Newt’s Dad gave birth to an alien who then grabbed another colonist who got them impregnated, then another and another and another, until the only one left alive was Newt.

The moment the face hugger was awakened it sent some sort of message (via telepathy or scent pheromone) to wake up the entire nest.
