However, Ripley and Newt managed to escape in the Colonial Marines' dropship Smart Ass, which arrived before the Queen could close in. The Queen utilized an elevator to follow Ripley and Newt to the top floor landing platform, where she cornered them on the landing pad. Enraged, the Queen detached herself from her ovipositor and pursued the fleeing humans.
However, when one of the Eggs hatched, Ripley incinerated the nest with her flamethrower and destroyed the Queen's ovipositor with grenades from her Pulse Rifle's grenade launcher before fleeing, believing the Alien dead. Apparently comprehending this, the Queen signaled her circling Drones to ignore them. Facing the Queen alone and surrounded by Drones, Ripley "reasoned" with the creature, threatening to destroy all of her Eggs if she and Newt were attacked. Ripley later came face-to-face with the Queen during her attempt to rescue Newt, the last survivor from the colony, who had been captured by the Xenomorphs and taken to the Hive to be impregnated. The Queen herself remained unseen deep within the Hive, although Ripley and the other survivors later theorized as to her existence, reasoning that something had to have laid the Eggs they saw prior to the ambush. When a squad of Colonial Marines under the command of Lieutenant Gorman and accompanied by Ripley arrived at Hadley's Hope to investigate, they were almost wiped out by Xenomorph Drones in an ambush inside the Hive, with the few survivors forced to retreat. Once she had fully matured, she began to lay her own eggs as her Drones continued to bring captive colonists to the Hive to act as hosts.
During the early stages of the Hadley's Hope Xenomorph infestation, one of the first creatures to emerge from the early hosts grew into a Queen, and subsequently established a Hive within the colony's Atmosphere Processing Plant.
