I see this as further manipulation of the situation by Burke -- presented as not wasting money to the Corporation and not wasting resources to the Colonial Marines.

4 - Really, guys? EVERYBODY leaves the ship? When Burke has absolutely established that the critters are on the ground? Irrespective of his actual motives, he tells Ripley when she says "We're going to wipe them out, not bring back, not study, right?" "That's the plan." - she briefed Gorman on the danger of these things, Burke (acting as the good friend) obviously backed her - but everybody came down. WTF???
The dropship, the cruiser, or both?
