"I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid.."
Medical Officer, USCM,
Bishop was the outfit's only synthetic. His main job was to analize the alien specimans that the marines encountered. He always respected everyone. But when Ripley came, he wasn't respected. Ripley had bad experiences with Ash in the previous film and thought that Bishop was just trying to retreive an alien speciman. Near the end of the movie, Bishop flew the dropship in and saved Ripley and Newt in a last minute attempt to leave the planet before it blew up. Ripley then realized that Bishop was her friend. But on the dropship the queen had gone into the landing gear and when they landed back on the Sulaco came out and Struck bishop in the chest with her tail. Then ripped him in two. This didn't kill Bishop because he was a Synthetic, but really incapacitated him. At the end of the film after Ripley killed the queen alien Bishop said to Ripley "Not bad for a Huumaan". When they crash landed on Fioria 161 Bishop was Deemed at "Negative Capibility" and was thrown on the scrap pile. Ripley had fears that there were aliens on board, and went to the scrap pile and retreived Bishop and reactivated him. Bishop accessed the computer's flight recorder and confirmed Ripley's fear. "Do me a favor, disconnect me. I could be reworked. But I'd never be top of the line again. I'd rather be nothing." This was Bishop's last request and Ripley pulled his plug. He is on fury 161 in bits and peices, deactivated.
