Why didn't they have a similarly detailed approach to how to deal with
exposures once incurred? I mean Ash just seems to wing it and make it up as
he goes along. Obviously he's a robot programmed to obfuscate but why would
the Company have quarantine regulations that don't address the whole
potential threat? >>


well, my only thoughts at present, are that there was no way of dealing with
potential threat beyond basic quarantine laws perceivable on such a vessel,
and it didn't matter if these human organisms died. And if they wanted to make
sure that everything was done above board, with safety considered, they would
have sent a research vessel.

Not really... Only Ash opened the door.
