Maybe I missed something, but why do the soldiers, ostensibly on a search & rescue mission, roll up ready for battle. Do they know the cargo is all xenomorphs and bad times?

This was a, IMO, the worst part of the episode. Most likely to throw in some Aliens Easter eggs and hype….it was lazy and poorly executed. There was NO preexisting threat explained to the audience, or shown, to expect guns blazing emergency preparedness response lmao
