What happened to....???

What happened to the co-pilot of the Torrens, Conner? Did I miss something?

Also, it bugs me that so many people state Amanda died years later due to what Burke stated to Ellen Ripley in the movie Aliens. I think it's clear he's lying to Ellen about Amanda how and if she's even dead. Clearly Carter Burke had an agenda on behalf of the company to get Ellen back to LV-426 by any means. Had he told Ellen that Amanda was still alive, there's no way she would have gone back. No way. My opinion of course. Everyone has one.

Wish they'd make a sequel to this game. Uber fan here who loved this game.
