God flipped all 224,700 InDels in those creatures himself because he felt bad for leaving the flies in the dark (and because he was busy changing universal physics so his favorite football team could win their game) and didn't have time to open a door or window for them. Anyone who says this "mutated genome" is anything other than a miracle is a godless homo ped0 rapist (not exactly evil somehow if it's man on boy) who believes in science.

57 years is how long Ripley was said to have been in hypersleep for at the beginning of the film called Aliens...

And she didn't mutate?! WTF!!!??

Sigourney Weaver looked mutated to me in Aliens...

Edit: By which I mean, she had a more androgynous look.

Ripley is part xenomorph. She eats mutants for breakfast.
