		The Science Officer Ash is revealed as an android, placed by the Company on short notice at Thedus to protect the creature, with instructions to regard the crew as "expendable".
		(Ash, the android, was terminated by the other crewmembers after his attempted murder of Ripley, an action he took in defense.) Ripley, as the sole survivor of the Nostromo, initiates the ship's self-destruct sequence and escapes in a shuttle craft.
		On the whole there are not really many instances of the portrayal of the discipline of science or its method of practice.

	Science Officer Ash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ash (ID# 111/C2/01X) was the science officer on the commercial towing vessel Nostromo in the 1979 science fiction film Alien.
		Ash violated the Science Division's basic quarantine law (24 hours for decontamination) by opening the main hatch, allowing Kane to enter the ship with the "facehugger" attached to him.
		Ash apparently ignored Parker's suggestion to freeze Kane's body (which, presumably would have also frozen the creature's life cycle) and also attempted to discourage Dallas in his decision to cut the facehugger from Kane, on the grounds that it may have resulted in Kane's death, as the parasite was feeding him oxygen.

		Science officer Ash first attempted to remove the organism with surgical tongs, but discovered the organism had adhered itself to Kane’s face- it would not come off without damaging Kane’s scalp.
		Science officer Ash summoned Captain Dallas and I to the infirmary to examine Kane, whereupon we observed the lifeform had detached itself from Kane’s face and died.
		I remained by the main airlock with science officer Ash to eject the alien.

		When Alien was first released during the summer movie season of 1979, science fiction films were all the rage.
		In addition to blending graphic horror with science fiction, Alien has another distinction - it is one of the first films to feature a female action hero.
		Kane is taken to the medical lab, where Ash determines that it would be too dangerous for the life form to be removed from his face.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: ALIEN: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT
		Ash breaks protocol and quarantine rules in allowing others to bring Kane and an alien attached to his spacesuit mask back into the ship (although he says he's doing so to save his life).
		Ash calls the others to the sick bay where they discover that the small alien is now off Kane's face and apparently hiding somewhere in the large room.
		Ash rips out some of Ripley's hair, throws her into some equipment and then throws her into another room.

		The first is the only other female, Lambert (Veronica Cartwright); the second is science officer Ash, a perfect company man who seems barely able to contain his hatred of women in general, Ripley in particular.
		When Ash and Dallas examine the infected Kane, the other crewmembers watch from the other side of a plate glass window; Parker keeps asking why they don’t just freeze him, and no one listens.
		When Dallas tracks the alien through the ship’s underbelly, the others observe his progress on a tracker; before Dallas is killed, Lambert cries, "It’s moving right towards you!" When Parker and Lambert are attacked, Ripley hears the whole thing over the ship’s PA system, but arrives too late to prevent their deaths.

		Ash cuts one of the creature’s claws, releasing a stream of blood that is also an intensely corrosive acid.
		You know, I’m with Ash on this one: the alien is beautiful in its purity (although not because of its lack of emotion – well, Ash would say that, wouldn’t he?); beautiful in its design; beautiful in its biology.
		When Ash’s true identity is revealed, the others are shocked by the realisation that he is a robot, but not that such a thing is possible.

		The insectoid alien is aided by a robot passing for human (Science Officer Ash) and by the special program put into Mother, the ship's computer, by anonymous agents of the Company owning the space tug Nostromo (and much else).
		Note the containment within a rather Gothic spaceship of humans threatened by an Ultimate Outsider alien who has gotten inside, a colleague, Ash, who should be helping them defeat the alien; and finally, by their most basic protection, the ship Nostromo herself (and significantly herself).
		How nicely done the final hero is: Warrant Officer Ripley, who could have been a man or a woman (as the script was written) but was finally played by Sigourney Weaver.

	'Who Are You?'
		Thus, it would seem that the primary concern of science fiction films of the 1960s and 1970s is to question the primacy of the rational-humanist subject -- what it means to be "human" -- in order to optimistically reinforce that primacy or horrifically deconstruct it.
		Ash's allusion to the Biblical Cain plumbs the mythology of the monstrous offspring of men -- the "sons of Cain," like Beowulf's man-eating monster Grendel -- who were born outside the laws of God the Father and were thereby monstrous in their appetites and appearance.

	Dual Lens - Alien (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		In a lot of other science fiction, space travel is either part of scientific exploration and discovery (2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek) or as a background to adventure in and of itself (Star Wars and the serials upon which it is based).
		The only crewmember aware of this is the science officer, Ash (Ian Holm) who later is discovered to be an android and loyal only to the company and its mission.
		The film signals this visually with the similarities between the face hugger and Ash, whose pale blood and yellow inner tubing both recall the face hugger’s acid blood and skeletal appendages.

		the rest of the film is a ten little indians style character elimination heuristic, complicated by the revelation that the ship's science officer, ash, is actually a synthetic (android) working in conjunction with MOTHER to prevent the destruction of the alien so that it can be transported back to the company's bio-weapons division.
		ash is the most complicated of the bunch, and perhaps the most dubiously positioned.
		on the one hand, because ash is linked to mother in a familiar sense (in that he was created by the company), he serves as an extension of the ideology that produced him.
