Alien: Isolation - Aliens, Creative Assembly, and Ripley's daughter

A couple more missions in and I’ve hit a dramatic moment when Ripley makes what seems to me to be an odd choice. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that another character makes an emotional choice that actually seems logical enough, but Ripley opposes them. Which may seem needlessly coy for a 3 year old game, but I am nearing the climax (I think) and I wouldn’t really want to ruin that moment for anyone else. Guess I’ll just see how this plays out.
