THE M O N O L I T H

If there was a mission sent out to LV-426 prior to the events as depicted in ALIEN then in that regard the company wold have prior knowledge to the possible findings they would re-encounter again upon its surface. So setting up events to have the Nostromo in nearby proximity and also being a space-tug 'The Company' could create a situation for itself that would be kept to a need-to-know basis, Ash would have been groomed for his part in the mission proir to when the voyage began. He could be given full knowledge of events that took place during the timeline of Prometheus and the latter-stages of 'The Companies' plan could therefore be put into action. Like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Ash's 'Programming' could have been interuppted even corrupted along the way from it's original intended goal seeking algorithms to co-operate and serve his human counter-parts by 'Company' insiders somehow re-wiring him or ordering him to conceal certain aspects of the mission from the others aboard the Nostromo. He may have, in fact, been in conflict on the one-hand upholding his programming yet on the other following orders from his Human couter-parts. It's just that one pair of orders to co-operate and serve flew in the face of more insidious orders to conceal and deem expendable those very-same human counter-parts. Was Ash experiencing the exact same equivalent of an H-Mobious Loop as HAL did only in Ashes case, in androgynous form? Perhaps, in some way dare-I-say-it, but Ash could in fact be a sort of tragic hero... He, in essence, was a pawn, a mechanism caught-up in a 'morality tale' between honorable nature that created him possibly in the first place and less scrupulous individuals who's darker-side of human nature exploits opportunities, technology and the people that would use them for far more devious means, methods and Modes Opperandi... The struggle between the good against evil within our society... So, in light of this, as a result of his eventual actions, no-body would think twice about keeping total tabs upon a space-tug, while an official, high-profile mission is out tooling around the Galaxy, in the meantime, the Nostromo could be setting down upon LV-426 and nobody will be none-the-wiser. If it went wrong then it can just be blamed upon poor captaincy and bad error in judgement on Dallas' part... We have to assume that during these future times there is also other 'Companies' out tooling around the Galaxy with interests in securing the latest in technologies, mineral ores and diposits, bio-weaponry and the like so the driving force during these future space-faring days of Human civilization is also coming into contact and also into competiotion whether it be direct or indirect with other Alien life forms with their own hold upon certain Galaxtic territories. It's a situation that is not unlike the wild west of old America and the Great Frontier only this time it is the Great New Frontier of the Space Ways across the scattering of the wider Galaxy at large...

I don't know. But advance each letter of HAL forward one and you get IBM. Spooky!
