...It was Weyland-Yutani. Their obsession with the creature to the point of extraordinary expenditure always astounded me. Ships, stations, whole planets, whatever it took to get control of the perfect organism, only there is no control. The only result of contact with the xenomorphs is death and destruction, period. Given what must be known by these people of these creatures, it was terrifying and gobsmacking to watch them do everything they could to enable the xeno's 'activities', no matter what the costs were or the potential risks.

Ash getting it in the shaft with the contrast of the motion sensor and the crew listening in alway makes the hair on my neck stand up.

I believe the motivation given was that they wanted to study them to enhance humanity and ensure it stayed the most advanced entity in the universe, rather than risk being wiped out by something else.
