District 9 and Elysium transforming into a post Alien:Resurrection Alien sequel.

Not really any assumption about what Alien 5 will be like but just ideas based on the two movies District 9 and Elysium (and the image of a Colonel Hicks lookalike amongst the concept art). I fully realise that trying to imagine the actual script could end up looking as if we're dealing with a script leak and Fox would tell me to take the story ideas down. So really this is just a piece of speculative fun. Well actually,  I'm sure that I'd be pretty much disinterested to hear about anyone's speculations as the next person.

a) Derelict ship in space loaded with alien spores is discovered and brought to a space station in the neighborhood of planet Earth

b) Under privileged communities on Earth are infected by the Company. Alien biomechanoids swarming shanty towns of South Africa and favelas of Brazil

c) Humans having black fluid poured into the water supply from mysterious black urns found on the derelict . 

d) Nigerians want to eat alien body parts as muti. They hear about Ripley 8 being part alien and they want to eat her too. It might help them to defeat the alien swarms. 

e) A group of aliens evolve beyond the state of being a hive of insect like savages and become intelligent creatures who want to go home and don't know what to do about their brethren being allowed to get out of control so easily killing everything in a rampant rage to reproduce. They want to do something to stop the other aliens, and have information about technology passed down through their DNA that they can access when they become sentient adults. (this is loosely following the idea of Dan O'Bannon's concept for an alien life cycle)

f) The intelligent aliens develop biological armed mecha suits that when they get inside them, their biology merges with the suit.

g) Humans confused and worried about their lives because of the swarms of dangerous aliens killing everytgubg, are search for Ripley 8. They know about how she is part alien and think that she is their only hope, she might have an answer for dealing with these things. One is a tough young man with an exoskeleton walking frame tries to get Ripley to help the planet earth. They find her living in a cardboard box on a rubbish dump.  But does she want to help?

h) Ripley 8 begins the slow metamorphoses into an alien. However she wants to help the aliens who have evolved into intelligent civilised life forms get off the planet and go home. Will any of her humanity remain?

i) Can Ripley 8 with her connection to the alien consciousness be used to operate Alien technology that humans ordinarily can't

j) Nasty mercenaries with thick South African accents wielding futuristic guns are flying dropships. They want to kill the civilised aliens. One of them is revealed to look like an older version of Colonel Hicks but even more scarred than he was when he had been scarred with alien acid blood in Aliens.

k) Humans infected with the chestburster have to get to the space station to have the chestbursters removed using their medical pods.

l) Aliens infect a nice Syd Mead designed space station full of the rich people, orbiting the planet. Civilised aliens believe that they will be able to get into the derelict ship, re-activate it and get home.
