As an example of the prior pattern:
Chariot of the Gods, Destroyer of Worlds, and Heart of Darkness are a trilogy. They're all intended for use of the included PCs. They show a variety of different versions of xenomorphs, and each has a unique set of PCs.

They're all in "cinematic mode" - not built for continuing play with experience.

When I ran them: CotG Gp1: 2 survivors (1 infected), CotG Gp2: 1 survivor plus the cat. DoW: 1 survivor... woke up in the wrong fleet; note that a second died doing a risky jump from the elevator car. HoD: 3 survivors, one of whom was the cat. Others have noted the issue.

I suspect the continuity of the Saga is likely to be the location, not the characters... be interesting to see a change of ownership between them... because if the PCs don't do everything right, the next act is another stowawy. The characters are meant to die...
