-Resident Evil Remake: LIsa Trevor - a hag-like old monster, who is later revealed to be a victim of horrific experiments which began when she was 12, she perpetually searches for her mother, who was killed by Umbrella's agents

-Silent Hill: Lisa Garland - a timid young nurse who tries to help the protagonist Harry find his missing daughter. It's later revealed that she is only a ghost who's been dead since before you first met, to add insult to injury, she was essentially forced into a relationship with doctor/ drug dealer kauffman, just to feed her addiction.

I know you'll say 'well, to silence Ripley', but, as we see, that plan was doomed, Ash's programming does not allow him to directly kill a human so he has to use the magazine, and he had no way of knowing how long Lambert and Parker would take to get back from their tasks. and we see this was an oversight as they catch him literally in the act.

wouldn't it have been better to be cool, play dumb, act as shocked as the rest of them? all Ripley knows is that Ash is useless and detrimental at worst, she has no real reason to believe that he knew about the organism from the beginning. the whole crew assumed it was just bad luck that they were in the vicinity

although, Dallas did tell Rip that Ash replaced another science officer before him 2 days before they set out on their maiden voyage (maiden like, titanic maiden), THAT is suspicious

Think about it, It would maintain the horror factor, fighting enemies with guns can still be scary if done right (See Amensia: the bunker and Silent Hill 2 remake), it would be a unique way to include the marines while still playing like isolation, there were enemies with weapons in the first game, and it would be AWESOME to watch a Xeno tear up a room of Marines, you could get your very own little unscripted Aliens scenes!

All the story would need is an Wey-Yu executive like Carter Burke or Ransome on the ground to give them orders against the player, and if we're still playing as Amanda, maybe Weyland Yutani finds out Ripley was behind the Sevastopol being destroyed (because she kinda was, overrode the reactor and all), and brands her a fugitive to be captured or killed for destroying their asset (and the xenos they would've farmed from Sevastopol), and the marines are sent in.

Maybe we could see Amanda meet her Hicks or Hudson or Vasquez counterpart, after disagreeing with the CO, remember the only reason the marines disobeyed Burke is because Ripley challenged him, Amanda probably wouldn't have her mother's advantage.

just a cool thing I though
