** This scene was expanded in the novelization: when Ripley asks if she's "programmed" to cross herself, all goes on to answer her. She explains that she ''was not'' programmed to believe or just be respectful, but she has a "working brain" and studied the topic, and actively chose to believe in God. Autons were built fully sapient and with the capacity to develop and chose their own sense of morality and philosophy, just like any human. ''Inwardly'', however, Call really worries that as a synthetic machine, she doesn't actually have a "soul" the way humans do, and that there will be no after-life for her after death.

* ZerothLawRebellion: A positive example. As lampshaded by Ripley, ''"No human being is that humane."'' First-generation Synthetics, sort of like Bishop, eventually grew upset at all of the immoral things that their corporate creators made them do - so they built second-generation androids ''without'' restrictions forcing them to blindly obey orders. The company was not amused, and issued a "recall" - purging most of them, but a few got away. Despite everything that happened, Call still feels compelled to save humanity from itself by stopping the xenomorph cloning project - just because saving humanity is the right thing to do.
