If you released 100 xenomorphs widely spread on each continent minus Antarctica (so 600 total), would humanity fall?

>>213091350 (OP)
Some continents have more than 100 populated islands, so no.

>>213091350 (OP)
These niggas literally die to regular bullets so no.

>>213091350 (OP)
depends how quickly they reproduce. i think it will be far more fatal to drop 600 facehuggers

>>213091350 (OP)
Don't you need a queen to shit out facehuggers? If you just dump 100 of those normal ones without the fat ass queen humans would win easy peasy.

They have to hide and use the element of surprise so probably not

If they are like Cameroon's ''bugs'', then we're most likely fine

Ridleyverse, they are more OP. Implication is that they are more virile. They could produce insane amounts of eggs and facehuggers and potentially emit spores and do other fuckery as they are dead or dying

>>213091491
Isn't it canon that if there isn't a queen around one of them will turn into one?

>>213091424
>depends how quickly they reproduce
have you seen the fucking movies? you retard, they reproduce fast as fuck

>>213091350 (OP)
Yes. We have it in canon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens:_Earth_Hive

>On Earth, the alien cult has successfully broken into the biowarfare lab containing the alien specimen, and has released wild aliens onto the planet. The aliens are slowly taking over, despite the best efforts of Earth defense forces. Over a period of several months, the aliens so completely dominate the planet, that most humans have been killed, and the rest have evacuated to earth orbit or other planets.

>>213091350 (OP)
xenos by itself dont reproduce, so they can be anhilated just with brute force, but if those motherfuckers get the chance to reproduce, or those 100 come with at least 2 queens, we are pretty fucked for a long time, they can ibernate and they would likely want to reproduce on isolated areas to increase their numbers as fuck

>>213091885
>xenos by itself dont reproduce

Yes they do. They can morph into a queen or turn a live human into an egg to produce a facehugger that would make a queen.

>>213091350 (OP)
its just like a leopard or something. its dangerous in a small room or in the dark otherwise who cares

>>213091952
They need humans or appropriate host species.
That's what he meant, retard.

>>213091350 (OP)
probably not, since they can be shredded with high caliber guns easily, are big targets and are powerless against armored vehicles / bunkers etc.
they're also a parasitic species so they would need a steady supply of hosts (mammals) to survive

>>213092167
There are several billion of those on Earth you know

>>213092222
One alien can reproduce six facehuggers through six hosts in about a day. That means after only a week you have about 300.000 aliens.

>>213091350 (OP)
Chinese would be eating them and facehuggers with fried rice

>>213091350 (OP)
That depends. Is this a world where the movies exist, or is it in their version of Earth where they've conquered space travel, cryogenics, and other futuristic sci-fi tech but SOMEHOW the suggestion of Alien life is a crazy concept that only nutters believe?

Oh yeah. Completely fucked.
It could hide anywhere, people would have no idea it was even loose, and it would be creating countless more eggs from victims in secret. By the time it was actually widespread knowledge they were active, there would be hundreds of thousands of them across the world doing the same thing.

And they could claim animals as victims too.

>>213091350 (OP)
If it were the Dark Horse xenos, if a Queen ever got a decent foothold on Earth, that would be all she wrote, since they send out strong psychic suggestion that causes potential hosts to start worshipping them as gods, facilitating implantation and assisting spread, etc. until they are consumed themselves.

>>213091491
Without a queen, a xenomorph can still cocoon up victims to mutate them into facehugger eggs. Queens just mass produce dozens of eggs at a time. It's also likely that they can produce a Queen from among a population.

>>213092167
They have no shortage of humans.

>>213091350 (OP)
They're a step up from zombies but no, humanity can still handle this.

>>213091350 (OP)
Nah, I’d just start throwing hands, and it would be over real quick on my continent. The old left right goodnight. We just need five more real men who burn local. Only thing is? There’d be a lot of acid damage to repair once we were done.

>>213092172
>probably not, since they can be shredded with high caliber guns easily, are big targets and are powerless against armored vehicles / bunkers etc.
You're assuming they would be out in the open, waiting for you to shoot them.
Even in a super isolated place like Hadley's Hope, a terraforming plant and colony on a desolate desert planet, the marine squads were massacred by the aliens with just a single survivor from their numbers. Now imagine them in a city, or in the wide countryside. How would you even find their nests, or protect people from being abducted to be used as hosts for new aliens?

Bunkers and vehicles won't stop them either, they can and will find a way in, or make a way in. You're talking about creatures with highly corrosive acid for blood, that are much more devious than just simple animals.

>>213092816
They had this shit figured out in the 50's:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faFrZIm2FtM

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.

Imagine youre on your home one summer night with your Windows open and then suddenly a couple of those fuckers climb up inside. No fucking thank you. I remember i had a nightmare like that when i was little. Crawling up the walls amidst the shadows. Ready to kill.

>>213093270
Also no stronk whammen in STEM in films before the CURRENT YEAR.

No matter how far back you go in film and books you can easily debunk that fucking lie, to the point it's a fucking joke.

Even in the rubbish AVP Requiem just one getting into a little town requires the entire place getting nuked to stop them spreading further, and that's with a Predator trying to clean up the mess.

>>213093270
Also for Zoom-n00bs who have never seen 'Them!', I recommend watching it to see how much it inspired Alien/Aliens.

With the in universe plot armor bullshit, yeah, xenos would win.

Otherwise? Being completely real? Xenomorphs are some of the shittiest horror/alien antagonists ever. Incredibly easy to deal. Just...open fire. Thats it. Just fucking shoot them.
>>213091865
Plot armor for villains.
>>213091885

Oh and they just stand in front of you at a safe distance from any acid splatter is it?

>>213091634

>>213092647
This does not make sense. Aliens gave us the best lore, Xenos are very similar to hive insects.

>>213094483

>>213094522
>Aliens gave us the best lore, Xenos are very similar to hive insects.
Why is that interesting, but aliens that reproduce entirely with the bodies of their victims are not?

>>213094498
Aliens are pretty famous for standing still alot and looking scary

>>213094565
Are they?

>>213094214
I just think she’s cute is all

>>213092816
I imagine they would simply nuke infected cities like they did in Aliens and Requiem. Once the Queen or Praetorian dies it drastically slows down the reproductive speed of the xenos since no facehuggers are being made.

>>213092647
Even if they can cocoon up victims that's not enough turn around before widespread action is taken to deal with the xenomorphs. They'd need a queen from the get to snowball before anyone knew what was going on.

>>213091350 (OP)
Maybe, it usually takes a crane to get them out

>>213094640
Not so fast

>>213094544
It just seems silly that they transform their hosts into eggs. What animal does that? Is that even a thing that happens in nature? Having them reproduce like insects seems more realistic and thus more immersive.

>>213094565
actually they killed all but one of the well armed, experienced marines, and he survived with severe wounds

>>213094522
I don't see how "they're just insects I guess" is better. And I like Aliens a lot, it's a great film. But the original life cycle as conceived in Alien is far more disturbing, and I would prefer them to carry both forward, as I do recognize the Queen herself is much too iconic in her own right to discard now. Which is exactly what Alien Romulus did, a lone alien is still capable of reproducing using hosts even without a queen, the queen is the product of a large up and running hive letting them expand the population rapidly

>>213094498
>Oh and they just stand in front of you at a safe distance from any acid splatter is it?

This is just guns, plus they have to get close to you, and they're not on a cramped space ship with truckers with no weapons where they blend in. They stand out like crazy, they're not stealthy for Earth.

Even in fights with big animals a lot of that original 100 might get killed. Yes, the animal will too from the acid but that's just a draw where both die.

In an all out war against people, Xenos go extinct. Like xenos lose like 10:1 vs a person with a gun, let alone getting shit like attack helicopters, drones, airstrikes, artillery ect.

>>213094544
Because it doesn't make sense, aliens would just die off without any prey and they're murder machines who aren't going to set up sustainable human farms. One of them mutating into a queen out of necessity just makes more sense

>>213094721
>What animal does that? Is that even a thing that happens in nature?
they're fuckin aliens, bro

>>213094721
They don’t turn them into eggs, they use them as incubators. Parasitic wasps do it

>>213094640
The problem is Aliens was a single colony on a desolate planet with only a few hundred colonists, and even in the nuclear explosion, the Queen still made it off the planet on their shuttle because they're not stupid.

Who says they would only been in one city? Or that they would even stay in a city? In OP's example, there are a hundred at a time on every continent. How long before that six hundred is six thousand, then sixty thousand, then more? How many cities can you nuke and be certain they are ALL dead? What if they have created hives underground near but not in population centers and are abducting people daily from villages, towns, small cities, who just vanish and become more aliens? How do you root out millions and millions of aliens across the planet?

>>213094721
It being unnatural is why it is scary. They're a walking sexual violation that use humans as a personal womb.

>>213092618
>strong psychic suggestion
Ah yes, an asspull "make everyone stupid" ray. ITs barely excusable when Dead Space did it as its central theme, but Aliens? No. Fuck you and fuck them. Its just an asspull to dodge having to shit on the plots of the movies.

>>213092816
>marine squads were massacred by the aliens
taking down odds of hundreds to one.

>>213094804
>they're murder machines who aren't going to set up sustainable human farms.
A species that exists solely to consume us in the most violating manner possible is a scary thought, you're trying to apply Earth ecology to an unknown monster

>>213094577
>Are they?

Yes.

Literally just sits there in front of her for like a minute, long enough for Parker to try to talk Lambert out of the way.

It also just hangs out in the shuttle, just chilling between conduits until Ripley blows exhaust on it.

Half the reason the alien gets away with what it does here is because you can't simply shoot it on a space ship since it'll melt the hull and open the ship to space.

On Earth though? Just shoot it.

Also in Aliens they kill hundreds of themselves trying to get past the sentry guns and then in the ducts trying to get the last few marines, but you can't keep your numbers up if hundreds of you die to grab maybe like a dozen hosts tops.

>>213091350 (OP)
I wonder when can they swimming from the northest to any human civilisation continent

>>213091424
Wouldn't 600 facehuggers just produce 600 aliens? So same scenario but slower and not guaranteed.

>>213091350 (OP)
Just nuke every continent

>>213094797
>plus they have to get close to you, and they're not on a cramped space ship with truckers with no weapons where they blend in.
yeah, now they can go fuckin anywhere with no isolated, closed circuit you know they must be in
one on a spaceship, you know it is on the spaceship, there's only so many places it can be, even on a big spaceship, it's a finite area. They tracked it by changes in air density where there shouldn't be changes in the film, even then, they could wiped out one by one

one is on Earth, where is it? I don't know. It runs out the door of a spaceship landed on Earth, it could have gone fuckin anywhere, it could be cocooning up some random farmer or a horse or some other big animal in a forest or a cave or a subway tunnel right now, and suddenly you've got two aliens, not one
then four, then eight, then sixteen, before you know it you have hundreds of thousands of them all over the place and no way of tracking each and every one of them, and billions of potential victims, every one of which is now a potential alien

Is one going to knock on a door and stand in the doorway waiting for a farmer with a shotgun to unload into its chest? Or is it going to snatch him when he has no idea it even exists let alone that he's being stalked?

>>213094988
The spaceship/confined space argument works both ways. They can only mow them down in a corridor because that’s the path available to them. I could easily see them hiding out in trees and ambush face raping you

>>213094988
>a defenseless, terrified victim it gleefully rapes to death after butchering a large grown man trying to fight it
Not a great example anon. Did it stand there for Dallas who had a flamethrower or did it ambush him and take him out with ease?

>>213094522
The egg morphing ability makes perfect sense given how the aliens operate. It also makes them way more fucking dangerous once they land somewhere. All it takes is one egg, facehugger, chestburster or drone to land on a planet to get the ball rolling. Once gown, a single drone can just run around nabbing hosts to turn into eggs and leaving them in concealed places until it has a whole gang of friends ready to help it grow a queen then start a more permanent larger hive once they have the numbers to defend it.

>>213094988
A spaceship is also a finite space, when there is a comparatively infinite open space how are you going to follow it or know where it is? If it vanishes into a subway tunnel or a forest, or even a high rise tenement block, how can you find it safely?

I hate all of you faggots who go "hurr humanity is supah strong we always win hurrr"

Yet in real life the entire planet is ruled by an evil super elite that literally rapes kids and eats them, etc. I am not even taking about any specific nation, every single country has their stuidly cartoonishly evil elite and HUMANS CANNOT DEFEAT THEM.

Humans cannot defeat the 100 super rich pervert old bastards and yet you all claim "the human spirit so strong we will for sure defeat 100 perfect killing machines".

Like I hate you, if you sincerely believe humanity is strong or good, then we should already be living in good societies but we are not.

>>213094999
And then those aliens produce more eggs, or maybe they produce a queen, however they do that exactly, then there's infinite eggs and billions of potential hosts.

>>213094742
>letting them expand the population rapidly
Exactly, xenos are all about numbers. A lone xeno making a few facehuggers and sending them in piecemeal style isn’t gonna overwhelm a military or fighting force. With a queen they can produce facehuggers like a bomb factory running nonstop, and good luck killing the queen that is hundreds of meters underground.

>>213094721
>What animal does that?
kek imagine asking such an incredibly stupid question with a straight face

>>213095194
go do something about it then you fat pussy, we're talking about aliens

>>213094988
>since it'll melt the hull and open the ship to space.
and they had guns too. They should have all just gotten into the lifeboats and started blasted. Said fuck the ship!

>>213095053
>I could easily see them hiding out in trees and ambush face raping you

They aren't leopards, they giant black dildo bugs. They'd stick out hard in a bright green tree in the daytime, or anywhere it's mostly snow or greens or desert, ect. They have good camo for space ship interiors and maybe like the depth of a cave but, for like most of Earth they'd stick out like sore thumb and you don't have to get close to them. Like you can just snipe them from far out, spot them with binoculars, drones, multiple spectrums of light, motion detection ect and just light up the tree with gunfire from 300m away.

>>213094721
What animal has acid for blood?

>>213095271
The shuttle isn't big enough for all of them.

>>213095406
>bro I'd spot em no problem and use my tactical assault rifle to-ACK *impaled by alien he failed to realize had been in his house this whole time*

>>213094858
I get that part but where do the facehuggers come from when the victim gets cocooned?

>>213095176
>If it vanishes into a subway tunnel
Cameras all over the place and known entries and exits.

>High Rise
People are going to call 911, get it captured on camera, when they see the 8 foot tall 300 lb rape beast walking down the hall. Unlike the ship most ventilation and pipes will not actually fit a person, let alone a xenomorph. It sticks out, how does it even get to the high rise without getting noticed, it's not coming through the pipes, and there's camera's everywhere, Xeno's has a good likely hood of getting it's cover blown attacking someone mid stream or on a zoom call, and then it's all over when the extermination squad shows up. At best it gets like 2-3 people, just stands out to much to get rolling.

>>213095406
And yet they’re perfect for urban environments with lots of dark nooks and crannies. Y’know, like where most people live nowadays. Or caves, or culverts, under bridges, shit, hiding under those big trucks hicks like to drive. We’d be done dude

>>213094826
A living organism isn’t an animal?

>>213095518
I’m not sure that it’s ever really clear on that other than the queen but presumably individuals can shit out an egg or two somehow if needed. Maybe I’m missing something

>>213095406
Ok, how do you do this when there's four hundred thousand of them because they exploded in population from multiple hives around the world, and are still multiplying daily from hundreds of thousands of cocooned victims? just gonna sit in your hunting blind and pop em off one by one with your little snipey?

>>213095406
And what if they're NOT standing next to a bright green tree in broad daylight, but are constructing a hive in a maintenance tunnel underneath a city? grabbing victims from the streets and buildings to use as hosts, multiplying day by day? Or have infested a cave network with access to various rural towns? Or are in your basement or attic, right now?

>>213095521
>known entries and exits.
gee it's a good thing it can't make any more entries or exits

What's so great about them. They don't actually reproduce that fast and are individually only about as dangerous as a knight on horseback or a bear or something. They also need nests (that aren't hard to spot) and apparently sleep.

How tough is xeno skin? Do regular bullets like 9MM, .45, 5.56 and others work on them? I remember that pulse rifles have armor piercing and was effective against them.

>>213095483
>bro I'd spot em no problem

Yeah, the 10 foot tall Xeno just materializes in my room. Doesn't have to break down like like 2-3 doors to even get to my room, hope no cameras or anyone with a phone sees it or calls the cops wondering who's suddenly demolishing the building while screaming like a tard.

It's not exactly the master of stealth, screaming, slobbering stomping around. It'd alert the whole building, even if I got killed, the Xeno's not long for the world. Cops show up and just blow it away. Any jack or jill with a handgun can take one out with the right opportunity, especially when there's not giant man sized piping for them to travel.

They just aren't that good in this scenario. It's not The Thing or something.

>>213095444
some lizards and snakes have toxic blood

>>213095548
Demanding an alien lifeform conform to the habits of Earthly animals is fairly asinine.

>>213095641
I think all of you have severely underestimated how cell phones and cameras have changed the game.

If this was like 1950s Earth, sure, maybe they go more unnoticed.

2025, they're on Youtube and CNN within a day.

>>213095689
The immediate mass panic alone would kill millions. The resulting collapse of society due to humans realizing that killer alien monsters are around would kill millions more.

>>213095703
I'm not sure you've ever actually seen Alien, the film.

>>213095689
And you believe you would do well against a knight on horseback or a bear? Sneaky ones at that

>a bunch of aliens could totally take over the world from nothing bro, humanity is finished
You say that as if humanity wouldn't glass anywhere that has freaky 10 foot tall acid lizards build a big hive and start killing thousands of people.
>But what if they escape
They're hive dwellers, so long as there's still prey around they're not going to teleport a thousand miles away.

>>213095521
>cuts off power to the underground area it's infested
>creates a tunnel into a population center, filled with more cocoons
>now there's dozens of aliens all doing the same thing
I don't think a cellphone picture of a black mass darting into a derelict building or alleyway or subway entrance will be that helpful in a section of the city where eight hobos have gone missing in the past week, wait, twelve now, and six more on the other side of the city. Hey we spotted another guy getting yanked into the darkness on a street cam so that's seven.

>>213095716
I didn't say toxic, I said acid.

>>213095444
my mother in law!

>>213095775
It’s never really clear how intelligent they are or how they communicate. They’re obviously not stupid in the films. I don’t like our odds bro

>>213091634
No, because ripley has a queen alien in her chest in 3.
In the original movie there is a cut scene where the alien is turning the people from the ship into new eggs.

>>213095656
>gee it's a good thing it can't make any more entries or exits

Yes, I won't notice them smashing through a brick wall like the Kool-Aid man. Regular solid snake there, no one will notice such masters of stealth.

The only reason on the ship/colony they aren't in the hallways to be easily spotted and killed is because the air ducts are gigantic for the purpose of providing ventilation for a spaceship where Dallas can just crouch and walk around with full ladders and shit. Don't know what building you're in but the air ducts and pipes in apartments, homes, most work places, ect aren't 4-5 feet wide, so I doubt it's coming through the toilet or the central air.

>>213095782
Worst case, you start nuking cities when it gets really bad and start hardening other cities to prevent an infestation from getting a foothold.

>>213095831
No, it’s hanging out in the poorly lit car park waiting for you

I liked the comic "Aliens: Xenocide" where the alien home planet is this absolute shithole of just xenomorphs scuttling around a barren landscape while different hives wage war on one another for dominance. Not even part of a reasonable ecosystem (how could they be?) just a piece of shit wasteland where different colored xenomorphs slaughter each other by the millions.

>>213095816
They're not stupid but they're not intelligent enough to predict thermobaric bombs falling out of the sky on top of them

>>213095816
>They’re obviously not stupid in the films.

They literally just run into gunfire and die by the dozens, it's not well until after like a few dozen die before they stop, all for the gain of like...10 people maybe?

Like even if they'd gotten all the Marines in the end as hosts, they'd be in a massive deficit for how many got killed.

>>213095775
How do you know where the hive is? How do you know that's the only one? How will you sweep the entire planet for them. What if it's in the middle of a massive population center? Are you going to evacuate it first or just vaporize a few million people in the process? How many people have been infested already? How many aliens are there already? Are there countless more being born right this second? What country gets the job of blowing up this area you think has a hive in it somewhere? Do they have to nuke themselves, or do they borrow some if they're a country without them? How about countries that are heavily rural and underdeveloped, how do you handle searching those for hives, knowing all the while any hive that exists will rapidly reproduce using any available hosts, human or animal?

>>213095406

I'm starting to question whether you've actually seen any of the movies because you have a very strange version of the xenomorph in your posts.

>>213095910
They reproduce insanely rapidly. The Zerg strat has been employed by humans that don’t reproduce nearly as rapidly in desperate times and the queen wanted off that planet for some fresh meat. Doesn’t necessarily imply they’re stupid

>>213095926
Use a big bomb, aliens congregate around the queen, human losses are acceptable after a certain point when it becomes clear the area is lost anyway, any stragglers are not going to establish a massive foothold again

>>213095990
By the time shit is that dire, which is to say that the people who have to power to nuke cities are willing to do so, I’m pretty sure they’re everywhere

>>213095802
Read this in a New York accent

>>213095744
Youre fucking retarded. It doesn't matter how many cellphones or news stories there are.

>>213095910
And yet, Ripley communicates with the Queen quite clearly, and it responds quite clearly. They're not stupid. Hell they DON'T just "run into gunfire", the only scene that's remotely like that is the heavy turrets blasting them, otherwise they ambush out of the walls, or from the ceilings, or from the floors, after taking out the power to the building, and that's just in Aliens, which is the most "bug" depiction of them.

>>213095703
>It's not exactly the master of stealth
So you've never even watched the movies

>>213095831
well it's a good thing Earth has no dimly lit areas or places humans have trouble navigating

>>213096020
Agree to disagree, I think you're underestimating how quickly the urge to nuke something outlandishly different from us would win out over civilian deaths.

>>213095839
This sounds like an apocalypse.

>>213095965
>They reproduce insanely rapidly.

They grow up fast but are limited by needing hosts.

No hosts, no xeno and they only get 1 xeno per person they capture.

Hadley's Hope had 158 colonists, even assuming they managed to get every single person as a host and not killed with other actions, suicides, accidents, ect, they're topped out at 158 until new people or large enough life forms arrive. So if 20 marines show up and kill like half the hive before you get them, you only get 20 back and they killed way more than that, you're operating at a big loss at that point.

>>213095454
yes, it is kek. It's a lifepod and there's two shuttles

>>213095929
They're a movie monster, they operate based on being nightmarish and violating what we see as natural

>>213095744
What use is that? When you have no idea how many there are or where they are, only that they can multiply rapidly and every single human on Earth is a potential host, and presumably every relatively large animal too.

What's it going to do for you when you have tiktoks of people finding weird splatters of go, or instagrams about a missing neighbor? Except for cause a mass panic knowing there are powerful, lethal creatures that could be anywhere and will use you as a host for its offspring.

>>213096081
Maybe. My counterargument was going to be about people nuking their own cities but there are more than enough nukes and hostile countries to make that irrelevant

>>213095990
>human losses are acceptable after a certain point when it becomes clear the area is lost anyway,
this kinda sounds like an apocalyptic scenario anon
not quite the "ah sure we'd take care of em easy" portrayal you're going for

>>213096106
They also operate using bug logic. The queen gets what the queen wants

>>213096020
You're forgetting the fact they reproduce through hosts, once world governments figure that out anywhere with an entrenched alien presence is getting carpet bombed and the remaining humans written off as already dead. The majority of WW1 was throwing human meat shields at trench lines after all, in an all out war for planetary survival unacceptable losses will become acceptable really quick.

>>213096106
>They grow up fast but are limited by needing hosts.

>>213096068

When it's on a space ship, or in its hive. Not in like an office building or apartment complex.

Like a spec ops guy in full ghillie suit is an amazing thing. Blends right in, you'd never see them even if you were looking at them. Assuming you're in tall grass or a forest or something.

Take that same ghillie guy and put him in the middle of a office building, or a street, apartment, parking garage, and now he stands out like a sore thumb. But he's also the size of the Big Show.

>>213096140
>We've detected Alien activity across each continent, sir. Except for India. The Aliens appear to have avoided it entirely.

>>213095990
If there was a nest in a city you'd need to bomb the fuck out of that city and even then you couldn't be certain a bunch didnt escape.
>any stragglers are not going to establish a massive foothold again
You're retarded. These things can use anything bigger than a house cat as an incubator.

Just throwing it out there but it looked to me like they could somehow spawn multiples out of the colonists glued to the walls in Aliens. Maybe I’m wrong

>>213096197
Can the spec ops guy turn nearby humans into more spec ops guys?

>>213096106
>Hadley's Hope had 158 colonists
Its not just people. There are a lot of animals on earth. What if the nest was close to a sheep or cattle farm?

>>213095990
>any stragglers are not going to establish a massive foothold again
That's the problem. They are.
All it takes is one.

>>213096106
>they're topped out at 158 until new people or large enough life forms arrive
I love Aliens as a fun movie. But this is a terrible thing to keep in the lore. These creatures shouldn't just make hosts of the available people then go into hibernation. That's silly. They should be able to start converting the planetary material into some weird giger-esque monstrosity city that could produce some sort of starship or at least reproduce more beings even if they're lesser xenomorphs. Like since they don't come from a host, they're half sized or some shit. It's such a silly limitation on them that they just stop without more hosts. Humans and other creatures don't have that limit.

>>213096249
Indeed. A cow can be a host. A horse, a large dog, a sheep, a pig. Anything that's big enough to survive the facehugger's implanting.

>>213096255
The only reason a hive would become an apocalyptic threat the first time would be because of the element of surprise. If the first big hives are nuked the most strict martial law ever conceived is getting imposed and if even a sniff of someone or an animal being infected is believed they're getting executed on the spot.

>>213096197
why is he in "the middle" of it rather than snatching people walking through the dim underground carpark, or into a dark alley, or a basement?

>>213096317
No, they can't. That's only in one shitty movie that was meant to sell toys. And has been thoroughly retconned.

>>213096318
>the most strict martial law ever conceived is getting imposed and if even a sniff of someone or an animal being infected is believed they're getting executed on the spot.
Yeah that sounds apocalyptic, anon.

>>213096318
>No, they can't. That's only in
Shut up, anon.

>>213096318
>Shut
Shut up, faggot

>humansissies pretending they could beat any invasive alien invasion at all
lmao no your fat ass is getting turned into a raped womb.

>>213096338
...why? The Space Jockey was used as a host. So why would it only be humans who can be used? Why is a cow not able to be a host? What do humans have that cows do not? A mouth, a throat, a chest cavity large enough to incubate in.

>>213096230
>Can the spec ops guy turn nearby humans into more spec ops guys?

I mean, it only works on half of them and takes 18 years and 9 months but technically yes.

>>213096197
No one is expecting a bunch of these things to come flying out of a tree or from under a car or a roof top or garage or a million other places. It doesn't even matter if theyre seen. You're already dead or captured for incubation. Most people aren't equipped to deal with a mugger let alone some fucking monster. It would be carnage if someone dropped 100 black panthers in a city. 100 of these things would be 100 times worse.

>>213096318
>no biggie, we'd just quickly turn into a worldwide martial dictatorship with all civil rights rescinded and flawless methods of detecting all aliens with infinite execution squads stationed at every corner of the globe, easy peasy lemon squeezy

>>213096344
The question was would humanity fall, not if everyone would live happily ever after with sunshine and rainbows.

Reminder: Blomkamp's movie was going to have the xeno's get to Earth and it was going to be awesome. They would have FINALLY make biotech with the xenomorphs including armor and weaponry

>>213096338
You just reveal your own ignorance

An entire hive couldn't even kill Sigourney Weaver who was babysitting a kid.

>>213096454
Outside of District 9 and his shorts, Blomkamp isn't a very good storyteller.

>>213096318
how do you stop society largely breaking down worldwide in this scenario? food and medicine supply chains alone would collapse, economies would shut down, populations would mass panic and revolt, and this is BEFORE you factor in the evil aliens turning humans into more evil aliens that could be anywhere all over the world

>>213096338
>No, they can't. That's only in one shitty movie
>it doesn't count!
Why?

>>213096318
One face hugger on a car, bus, train, boat and it starts all over again. Like already mentioned, it's not just people, they could use animals in the wilderness as hosts and soon enough those things are going to make their way to civilisation again.

>>213096527
That's perfect for Alien. It's a shit series with way more bad movies than good. Like 90% of them suck. So his would still be better than most.

>>213096381
Its just that one reddit retard who thinks they can't hide anywhere besides a spaceship and that hed be saved by his phone and cnn. He sounds vaccinated. The faggot doesnt even realised they mostly come out at night, mostly.

>>213096503
You’re right, we just call Sigourney and she’ll sort it all in time for tuck in. I was worried anon, thank you, I’ll sleep better

>>213096566
no they can't

>>213096639
call James Cameron, tell him to start cloning Sigourney so we're prepared

>>213091350 (OP)
I would simply call 600 Predators.

>>213096644
They can't what?

>>213091350 (OP)
Fuck no, any military would fuck them up in two hours

>>213096962
they'd have to start breeding secretly in slums and sewers

>>213096528
you threaten to kill cherif chitwood, we drop a nuke on your town
crime drops to zero
simple as

The xenomorphs would be hunted down and killed almost instantly in Texas, Arizona, and Montana. Fuck everyone else.

>>213096644
Says who?

>>213096962
Why are you acting like they would be in a conventional ground battle?

>>213097049
Who's we?

>>213097146
>The population of Africa as a whole is approximately 1.55 billion people
Are there even 1.5 billion rounds to fire at one continent of melanin powered aliens? You'd need chainlink fences protected with flamethrowers

>>213097168
Why are you acting like they aren't dumb as shit cockroaches?

>>213097146
Anon, do you know how large Montana and Texas are?

>>213097195
Because they aren't.

>>213097195
Have you successfully exterminated cockroaches?

>>213097195
>be silly monkey man
>can’t even survive nuclear fallout let alone 300 million some odd years
Apologize

>>213097271
No need, they live in the fucking sewers because this is OUR planet

>>213097195
I don't think cockroaches engage in conventional ground battles either anon

>>213097371
If the cockroaches were seven feet tall and used humans as hosts for their offspring, do you think it would still be your planet?

>>213094193
One of the best 50s monster movies. Cameron was smart to copy it even if it did fuck up the Alien lore.

>>213097386
It'd be nobody's planet because humans would engage in all sorts of MAD shit if there's no chance to win. Sucks for your dickless alien buddies

>>213094988
No way the sentries killed 100s of aliens in that scene. The station hosted less than 200 people total.

>>213091350 (OP)
Most of it. There would be groups that could hide in bunkers here and there. At least until their food an water runs out.

Maybe there will be some specific biome that the xenomorphs just can't live it?

>>213097484
How are they going to "assure" the destruction of the aliens? They're considerably less flimsy than humans. Even being blown into space doesn't hinder the alien, Ripley has to burn it away with the engines to stop it.

>>213097510
If they can survive in space I think pretty much everything is covered. Maybe the ocean depths but we don’t do very well down there either

>>213097624
We'll just find a way. Humanity is literally incapable of losing. Main character plot armor. You sure are hellbent on shit going the opposite way

I think people are too hung up on the movies and comics and not thinking of reality. You are positing the question of how aliens would play out in real life but then applying all these things that happened in the movies when the movies are set up to play out a very specific way and often unrealistic.
Human technology was also much much worse when aliens were invented. They had no concept of drones and other absurd shit we have nowadays. Aliens wouldn't be able to do shit to an apache helicopter or jets carpet bombing them. So many modern weapons could shit on them, not to mention things like chemical warfare that we don't even use because it's banned. Now maybe you could say technically they could be immune to those but even still humanity has done nothing but create weapons since the dawn of time and we are very good at it. If all of humanity was united against them I feel like we have a pretty good chance of taking them out even if we lose most of our cities in the process.

>>213097234
Doesn't matter. Montana and Texas have an ace up their sleeves...known as Montanans and Texans. Plus, our kitty cats would kill any small xenomorphs quickly, just like they slaughter other small animals.

On a spaceship, it makes sense that extermination options are limited. I feel like on Earth, somebody is going to find some substance that simply kills xenomorphs. The resources are there and options exist.

>>213097271
I've never had cockroaches. Have you? Ewww, gross. You must be a disgusting slob.

>>213097756
Also aliens only win because of subversion by corrupt stooges letting them do things or characters just doing dumb things because the plot requires it. In real life you wouldn't have so much retarded shit like people just letting the alien inside the ship because evil corp wants it. If we are assuming the premise of the OP and it's just us vs them.

>>213096962
Another retard heard from

>>213097778
The cockroach analogy stands. Have we eliminated them? Sure we can drive species to extinction but they’re not trying to do the same thing to us

>>213097778
Then they get killed by an alien while working in their lab on how to manufacture this "substance that kills xenomorphs" on a mass scale.

>>213097883
Humanity has never made a concentrated effort to eliminate cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc.

>>213097756
>carpet bombing them.
What are they carpet bombing? You're acting like the aliens just hang out in the streets.

>>213097146
Most of those poor hicks would get fucked up by the aliens and the ones who did manage to get a kill would get themselves and anyone close to thrm splashed by acid.

>>213097896
We kinda did with mosquitoes and it extincted a bunch of birds instead. Read Silent Spring, DDT and all that

>>213097920
You're talking about southern Virginians. I'm talking about Texans, Arizonans, and Montanans, Totally different people.

>>213097484
Humans wouldn't even exist if we had to compete with something like that.

>>213097962
They would get killed with remarkable ease on their ranches and shitty little west Texas single street towns

Aliens are a joke concept, they totally ignore the laws of thermodynamics growing massively from nothing and functioning eating nothing. And don't give me any retcon bullshit from some comic. The movies are the only canon.

>>213097896
And what if the cockroaches were now seven feet tall and used humans as incubators for offspring?

What are pleb xenos going to do without a queen? Hide in the sewers? How long do they actually live? Can't be that long if they grow into adulthood in one day, their metabolism is fucked. Their entire purpose is finding people or animals and taking them to a hive. Without that they could slaughter a few hundred, maybe even thousand humans, but they'd either get BTFO by the army or just die after a couple of days

>>213098012
Easier targets

>>213098044
They don't need a queen to produce more eggs, they just produce a queen in some way in a larger established hive.

>>213092422
>only have 300,000 aliens
yeah definitely no biggie there

>>213097756
I still think you're a faggot and a retard because it doesn't matter that we have the technology to kill these things. They would destroy our society because we wouldn't be able to kill them fast enough or specifically enough to not also fuck ourselves up at the same time.

>>213091350 (OP)
Judging by how weak minded most of our world was to COVID-19 I think 10 of these things + media circus + politicians using their existence for political gain would basically end up in our extinction.
Turns out most of humanity are limp wristed gay boys.

>>213098112
Who said anything about society? This is a deathbattle and I'm just saying that writing of humanity because you can only think in terms of the movies is a bad idea.

>>213097773
Your cats face would melt off and a single alien would kill most of your camp site in one night.

It all comes down to how smart the things are. If they are Cameron's bugs then they get exterminated after some initial chaos. If they are the intelligent beings from the first movie then they might win.

>>213097896
Retard

>>213097896
Truth. Xenomorphs are bad enough that humans would probably ignore the collateral damage.

>>213097962
Unless they're impervious to acid, with cat like reflexes and can survive off only air, they're as dead as everybody else.

We'd WIN, we'd FUCK THEM UP. Full of fucking cucks this thread

Humans went into a panic when they thought they wouldn't have enough TOILET PAPER. What are they gonna do when they find out there are monsters using people as wombs?

>>213098044
If there is no Queen a new Queen is created, like bees do.

>>213098122
Exactly

>>213098288
Personally I’d start stockpiling toilet paper. You don’t want to run out, eww

>>213098176
>If they are the intelligent beings from the first movie
The Aliens showed greater intelligence in Aliens. Name one feat of intelligence in Alien that compares to operating an elevator.

>>213098288
They will exterminate the xeno they can in their own country, and then point and laugh at the other countries being destroyed, while ignoring the fact that the xeno problem in that country will come back to their own shores later. In time, extermination becomes industry. They never quite wipe them all out, and don't really try to wipe them all out, but they always wipe out enough of them to maintain a paying customer base.

>>213098345
They encountered remote machine guns, never seen anything like it before in their short lives, and were able to figure them out after a couple times, bypass them and continue to fuck the marines up. They're very smart in Aliens

>>213098376
>>They will exterminate the xeno they can in their own country
how?

>>213098345
Nta but it was clever enough to hide out in the escape shuttle. How did it know beforehand that it was an escape shuttle? Was it just dumb luck? We don’t know

>>213098149
Writing off 99.999% of humanity sounds about right, besides the hand full of billionaires and government bunkers that were already prepared to survive for decades with no outside support, the rest of humanity is finished.

>>213098414
The Queen also understands Ripley threatening her eggs and orders the drones to back off, uses the elevator, and figures out to hide on the shuttle to escape the exploding base. It's not dumb.

Turns out that baking soda will turn any xenomorph into a science fair volcano.

>>213098459
Billionaires would be the first morons dead when their private super bunker island is easily penetrated by one xeno that kills everyone in his mansion

>>213098278
Full of realists. You won't even defend yourself from the jews, youre not going to stop an army of monsters.

>>213098344
>opens cupboard full of eighty rolls of toilet paper, self-assured his butt will not go unwiped
>facehugger jumps out and latches on

The indomitable human spirit would win. Humanity is the main character of the universe. Everyone claiming otherwise just want to be raped by aliens.

>>213098551
>and the facehugger had already soiled sixteen rolls with its gross slime too

>>213098506
Apples and oranges, our current enemies hide themselves among us and have the full power of the government backing them up. Far different from a clear and present danger all of humanity would be united against.

Develop a perfume that makes xenomorphs think that you've already been attacked by a face-hugger.

>>213098551
>He doesn't wear his protective helm while checking on the toilet stockpile.

>>213098575
There would be retards worshipping the aliens and proclaiming them the wrath of god here to punish sinners within six hours of their existence becoming known to the public at large

>>213098559
Why would anyone want that?

>>213098551
Off topic I know but when people were boarding toilet paper I was buying cold medicine. Completely untouched, shelves full. I didn’t hoard it but I definitely bought more than I needed. People are astonishingly dumb

>>213098497
Those bunkers are built underground/unde/ into mountains. They're not just a conventional mansion with extra security.

If a facehugger can't use the mouth, do they settle for other holes?

>>213095791
Technically all blood is acidic if you look at the pH level ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>213098575
Everybody knows it's the jews, everybody knows they're behind everything wrong with society. America as a nation amd populace has more killing power than anyone or anything that's ever existed and yet they suck more jew cock than the rest of the world combined.

>>213098625
Yes that's what Mister Silicon Valley Billionaire thought. Ha, the ignorant masses will be cleansed and I can finally begin my new capitalist eugenics society where my corporation rules and my stock value is always increasing, before his thoughts are interrupted by an inner jaw penetrating his skull because his mighty (but luxurious) secret fortress designed to keep out the poors did not keep out an alien monster able to go where the poors cannot.

>>213098613
Sadly true

>>213095406
All I see is a bunch of retards waiting to become xeno lunch while the bugs are rushing towards them under the cover of the surrounding trees

>>213098625
do they have defenses against aliens with acid for blood and unknown biology?

>>213091350 (OP)
Probably. 100 is a fuck ton

I WANT TO FUCK THE QUEEN'S HUGE.
ALIEN!
PUSSSSSSSYYYYYYY!

>>213098613
>televangelists on every channel saying "Ahh warrrned you, tha wrath o' GAWWWD" and then demanding rapid donations to prove they are not degenerate sinners

>I'LL USE MY SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY AND TACTICS TO DEFEAT THE XENOMO- ACK!!!!

>>213098751
I think the point is more that those places are so secure, deep and heavily armed that the aliens probably wouldn't even realise that the bunker existed. I mean the planet is crawling with prey why would the aliens be trying to break in to bunkers when they can't even conceive of such a thing existing?

>>213098625
let's be honest, everyone inside these bunkers would wind up killing each other long before the aliens found them

I don't know about you guys but I think I'd hit it off with the queen and become her concubine.

>>213098791

Fucking queers
Maybe fags would give the aliens aids or monkey pox

That's the more likely scenario.

they couldnt even survive the local wildlife, bears tigers lions wolves etc nevermind humans. alien fanbois are so gay

I trained my charisma to 100 in skyrim. Pretty sure I could talk the queen into making a deal. Introduce her to the pleasures only a man can bring her. There will be peace between man and alien.

>>213099027
A wolf is going to take down a seven foot tall monster that survives the vacuum of space and has acid for blood?

>>213097987
You know less than nothing. The last thing the xenomorph would hear, before meeting its Maker, would be "YEEEEEEE HAAAAA!" Come to think of it, that's the last thing a lot of outlanders hear when they're stupid enough to fuck around in Texas, Arizona, or Montana. Don't believe me? Come try it.

>>213098986
So the original point that humanity is fucked still stands.

>>213098259
Texans and Arizonans eat enough ghost peppers to be impervious to far more than acid. You're simply out of your league here.

>>213099027
A face hugger can easily impregnate all of those things. Are you fucking retarded?

>>213099027
Do xenomorphs actually eat for sustenance?
Anything that tried to eat a xenomorph would melt their own teeth off.

>>213098288
You must be talking about people in those faggy blue states. Arizonans can wipe their ass with cactus. You're simply outclassed on all levels, and are too dumb to know it.

>>213099068
Are beaners really that violent? I thought it was just a stereotype

>>213099027
>Bear is impaled by the alien's tail immediately, already mortally wounded
>bites into part of the alien during the struggle
>jaw melts off
>dies in agony bleeding everywhere and choking on its own dissolving bones
This is assuming it actually gets into a brawl with a grown alien and doesn't just get jumped by a facehugger while it's resting or rooting around in something

>>213091350 (OP)
If 600 xenomorphs were released across six continents, humanity would face a dire threat but would not collapse. Xenomorphs are lethal: aggressive, intelligent, and capable of rapid reproduction via facehuggers and chestbursters. Their resilient exoskeletons and acidic blood make them tough to kill, while their adaptability lets them thrive in varied environments. Spread across the globe, they could establish hives, risking exponential growth if not stopped early.Humanity, however, has key strengths. Our advanced technology—firearms, explosives, drones—offers potent weapons. With over 8 billion people, our numbers are vast, and global military coordination amplifies our defense. Innovation would spark new tactics, like flamethrowers or acid-resistant gear, tailored to the threat.Success depends on speed: can humanity react before xenomorphs multiply uncontrollably? Early detection in cities would prompt fast military response, while containment could limit their spread. Targeting eggs and facehuggers would disrupt their lifecycle.Challenges loom large. Panic could destabilize society, remote areas might harbor undetected xenomorphs, and their acidic blood would cause collateral damage. Yet, despite heavy losses, humanity would endure. A united global effort, wielding military power and ingenuity, would eradicate the threat. History shows we rise to existential crises—pandemics, wars—adapting at great cost. Scars would remain, but humanity would prevail.

>>213098613
This thread alone is full of people worshipping these bugs and rooting for them

>>213099027
Acid blood. If it wasn't for the acid blood, then a bear would destroy the xenomorph, but the acid blood is there and makes it impossible. Bears melt as easily as humans.

>>213099118
You think beaners yell "YEEEEEEE HAAAAA!"? What planet are you from?!

>>213099164
What if ai sided with the aliens

>>213099164
thanks Grok

!gemini explain what a xenomorph eats for food?

>>213099164
Shut the fuck up, robot, you don't know shit. Didn't even TOUCH on the disruption to society, economy and industry that would wreck food and medicine supplies worldwide.

>>213099189
Not if we fire baking soda shells at them. Then the xenomorphs would bubble and dissolve. You literally lack the insight of a 3rd grader at a science fair.

If you think humanity would lose you're not white

>>213099198
Texas and Arizona are full of cowboy latinos

>>213099211
That would only affect the people that need services. You know, the weak. We're better off without such "people".

>>213099229
Not from where I'm sitting. Where are YOU sitting? Dumbass phony.
>>213099221
Thank you.

>>213099198
Anytime I’ve visited Arizona or Texas it’s just wall to wall spics. Montana was just a bunch of weird, fat, hairy people wearing plaid. It’s cool, I like tacos, don’t get me wrong. I bet the Chinese would figure out a way to eat the xenos, we’d be fine

>>213091350 (OP)

>>213099269

Yeah, that was obvious.

>>213099315
It's cool, they're with me

If you think with millions of Americans owning guns and tactical gear, night vision, wouldn't absolute fuck up some xenos you are not white.

>>213099325
So you’re saying the white people there are all hiding underground or something? Waiting for the xenos?

>>213099219
Regular bullets will kill xenomorphs. If you had the luxury of shooting them all, you don't need to make it complicated.

bruh we have people in Texas killing hogs with mini guns mounted on UTVs and helicopter rides to shoot hogs, xenos are toast broooo

If by this you mean with uniform distribution over land masses, you'll have only Europe possibly affected.

If you released 100 xenomorphs in major cities at night time, then humanity will fall within 3 months.

Good thread, OP.

Stop hanging out in corridors during the apocalypse.

N America - Heavy losses but 'Merica would probably reorganize and fight back. Canada's a mess right now but they have a fighting tradition so they might do likewise.
S America - Fucked. Xenos would be terrifying in the jungle with plenty of places to hide and lifeforms to assimilate. Dysfunctional/corrupt governments wouldn't help.
Europe - Competent nations like Finland might make it. EU nations are fucked unless they shape up quick. Western Russia fucked.
Africa - Fucked like S America but worse. Total xeno victory.
Australia - This one's a toss up. They're used to dangerous creatures but lost wars to emus and cane toads.
Western Asia - Israel will probably adapt. Most other states will fall.
Eastern Asia - Jungle parts are fucked like S America and Africa. China fucked unless it gets it's shit together. Not sure about Japan, S Korea, Taiwan.

>>213099630
>>213099549
I know, idiot.

If you release 100 Xenomorphs per continent with uniform distribution then most of them will end up in virtually uninhabited regions. For instance, 70% of Asia is Siberia, desert, steppe, and mountain. So despite having a large population they are concentrated in urban areas.

>>213100091
At some point the surviving locations have to contemplate the prospect of sterilizing the parts of the planet that are overrun. As long as a xenomorph is anywhere, they are capable of spreading everywhere.

>>213099912
Why are you so mean nigger?

>>213100104
So the alternatives are a slow buildup out in the boonies where nobody really notices or a chaotic mess in the cities as people get slaughtered and eventually glassed by their own government. Kino!

If humanity prevails, it will not be the same Earth afterward. Most of the population would be gone and there will have been widespread societal collapse, even if the aliens were somehow exterminated.

>>213100104
I imagine they can survive just fine in harsh conditions humans couldn't. They'll find population centers.

>>213100091
>Xenos would be terrifying in the jungle with plenty of places to hide and lifeforms to assimilate.
Reminder that retard earlier in the thread claimed they couldn't hide in green or trees.

What happens when the xeno start to incubate in ocean life? You can never be rid of them.

>>213100104
Don't see the point of this argument when indians are way more invasive and already have a stranglehold on the planet. The final thing humanity will see is an indian shitting on the last street.

And then its claws melt off, followed by the toes of that paw.
As it convalesces, a facehugger lays an egg now its throat, and later births a bear style xenomorph.

Where is an ai fag when you need one. I want to see a xeno shark or giant crab or pod of xeno dolphins

I loved that game. Except Madagascar. And Iceland. Fuck those guys

>>213100370
And melt its paw off you dumb fuck.

>>213100370
The xeno sends Parker across the room like a ragdoll, they don't have human type strength, we don't know how strong they are but it's far more than a human at minimum

>>213100410
Regardless its not ending well for the bear

>>213100509
I think they're as strong as a big cat

>>213100509
I know it's AVP but one lifts an entire Predator with just its tail in that film so they ain't weak

>>213100554
I think if the bug analogy holds they could be strong beyond our wildest imaginations. Ants can carry 10 to 50x their own weight with ease

xeno-bear

>>213100626
Thanks anon

>>213100631
Im just going by what we see in the movies. Also if they were that strong they predators could go hand to hand with them.
>>213100643
Very cool.

Good thread lads

If xenomorphs take on features of the things they incubate in, over repeated generations, could they become human enough to lose their xenomorph tendencies?

>>213100245
>I imagine they can survive just fine in harsh conditions humans couldn't. They'll find population centers.

Nope. 75% of all Xenos will die out in the wildnerness. You won't have any hives or queens. At most it'll be small murders that get mixed in with rumors.

But don't worry, I did the math.

Only 155 Xenos will be in habitable zones. Given the rate at which a Facehugger can form, chestbuster to adult is 8 hours. 24hrs later you start having a hive emerge and 3-5 days a queen. Cities are the ideal catalyst for all of these things, especially considering the dense network of underground tunnels and subways. Every city will have over 10,000 Xenos within a fortnight. That's when they'll be nuked. Which will ironically kill more humans than Xenos due to the radioactive fallout. Which will be immense due to the fact that our nukes must have a delayed fuze (like a bunker buster) to get the hives in the tunnels.

There'd undoubtedbly be an evacuation effort and thousands of refugees who carry xenos without knowing it. Let's say 10% hive remnants escape. Given the fact that they are being transported through the interstate roads will cluster up at every medium sized town within a week. Maybe a month goes by before we have a million xenos who are now dispersed, and decentralized.

Martial law will take into effect. I can go on but yeah.

>>213100295
Doesn't matter if there are no (human) hosts. You'll get some zoological apex preds though but they will be far from humans. We must focus on the reproduction rate not if they can hide.

>>213100380
kek

>>213100964
Sacrifice 5% aggression for 5% intelligence boost and they'd be more dangerous than ever.

>>213100964
We saw a humanoid xeno in Romulus and it was just as evil, it even took advantage of having a humanoid face to laugh sadistically at the protagonist.
