When the crew find an abandoned ship and a single living crew member aboard it, Simon's medical examination is followed by dialogue that almost directly quotes when Newt is examined for malnutrition in Aliens. Additionally, when they first find the derelict spaceship, the pilot remarks that it could be home to 15, 20 families. A female then responds with a shocked 'families!', mirroring a scene and borrowing dialogue from aliens where Ellen Ripley is informed that there are 60 families on lv426.
