So here's a VERY COOL easter egg (?) - SPOILERS

I came across this thread on the official Alien Isolation boards:
http://forums.alienisolation.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/33336-top-5-easter-eggs-in-alien-isolation

Apparently, the Alien you get rid of during mission 10 is still alive!

Naturally I went to Gemini Exoplanet Solutions during mission 12 to investigate, and it's true. At some of the areas in Gemini you can clearly hear the Alien screaming like he's coming to get you, but doesn't. I heard it on four seperate occasions, just to be sure.

Here's a video someone else took, documenting this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfpasHCJhA0&feature=youtu.be

At first I thought it could be one of the other Aliens on board, but then why don't I get attacked?
This leads me to believe that the Alien is stuck somewhere outside the station and could very well be the Alien you meet on the Torrens.

Thoughts?

Oh, your one of those people. "I'm right so you don't know how to read."

Off to the next forum to encounter more sociopaths....

Yeah, it's a bug. Something they forgot to take care of.

Why should we hear an Alien that's screaming outside the station (in a vacuum to boot) inside, though? So maybe it is indeed meant as a hint that there are *still* Aliens on board. Or it could be just a bug (like I suppose the "screaming door" is).

I doubt it's a bug because it seems to happen to everyone, and in the exact same location.
The "door bug" doesn't always happen, and it's not even always involving that specific door.
Here's that bug occuring with random pipes: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=366925795

As for it hinting to other Aliens being on board, like I said, that was my first guess as well, but they are supposed to all be in the Reactor Core all the way in Engineering. Why would I hear it in the Lorenz Systech Spire?
Also, that scream is an aggressive one; the type the Alien makes before attacking. Like I said, I don't get attacked there, and neither does that other person who recorded it.

It being a hint is still a possibility, but still a somewhat weird one.

A bug can be in every copy of a game. It's a remnant from when the alien was there. They probably didn't test those areas in those chapters, because you're not supposed to go back.

You only seem to hear it during the android section though. Later when the Aliens return, it's gone. And you are supposed to go back. One of the Nostromo logs is there.

Sounds like a bug to me.

If you listen carefully on the video, I noticed that the Alien Scream sound seems to play at the exact time that other sounds play.

It's just coincidental, based on my own playthrough. The sounds play as you open the door to the main Gemini hallway and when you enter the small segment with leaky pipes. Only does it once, and then you need to wander around the facility for a bit in order for it to repeat itself once you revisit that area.

I strongly suggest everyone else who finished the game to load their 12th mission save and revisit Gemini Exoplanet Solutions in order to get their own impressions about what's happening there.

If it is a bug, it doesn't work like any of the other bugs in the game. If its not a bug, I am curious about whether it might be a weird hint of "things to come", or rather a hint regarding the jettisoned Alien's fate.

I did it and that area is not the only one with the sounds of the alien, but no actual alien. I backtracked practically to every single portion of the game and there are more of those sounds here and there.

It's definately a bug, or a glitch. And certainly the idea that it's probably "the alien that gets on board of the Torrens." is really... really... far fetched. Come on.

Fair enough. Point out a few of the other areas and I'll check them out.

Interesting. How did the alien return to the station after being ejected with Ripley on board the detachable laboratory? She returned via airlock, but there isn't anything on the other side of the door now, since the lab fell into the gas giant, presumably with the xeno on board.

Cool find. I found one too. It was where the Station blows up, anyone else discover it?

It is unclear if it really is the same Alien, so I have no idea. That theory is as good as it being a bug or it being one of the other Aliens on board the station.

IF it really is the same Alien, it might be something to mention during a sequel, as in the current game you'll find no real confirmation to it.
