* TheWormGuy: Twice over. He's an archaeologist, but Weyland-Yutani had him studying the pathogen's effects on xenomorphs. Once he's rescued Herrera seems to consult him on just about ''everything'' remotely scientific the team comes across, yet to his credit he often manages to be somewhat-correct. He also infrequently chides the team for interpreting things from an 'overly human' mentality, especially when it comes to trying to translate the Engineer language.
