" I'm going to overload the fusion reactor." Marlow was placed under arrest by the Colonial Marshals for his role in the disaster while Anesidora remained parked in orbit around KG-348. Foster was taken to Sevastopol's medical center, but the Chestburster duly emerged, killing Foster and beginning a Xenomorph infestation that rapidly overtook the station. Hoping to get medical aid for his wife and unaware of the Chestburster now gestating inside her, Marlow took Anesidora to Sevastopol Station. Within, Marlow found and disabled the derelict's beacon, while Catherine Foster, Marlow's wife, was attacked and subdued by a Facehugger from one of the Xenomorph Eggs in the ship's vast cargo hold. Their search led them to Acheron (LV-426), where the crew soon found the derelict ship previously discovered by the crew of Nostromo fifteen years previously. After recovering and accessing the recorder, Captain Henry Marlow and his crew elected to follow the flight data in the hopes of finding and salvaging the ship itself. In addition, all the "those-who-like-this-also-like-that" history that Pandora collects helps make recommendations to other users better.In 2137, while conducting salvage operations in the Zeta 2 Reticuli system, USCSS Anesidora stumbled across the flight recorder unit from USCSS Nostromo.

It should be noted that the "music DNA" has no relationship to the acoustic fingerprints used to identify a song (see acoustic fingerprint). Pandora uses its history of billions of thumbs up and down in combination with the music DNA to recommend songs. It is a musicological study analyzing 400 attributes of a song, including melody, harmony, the singer's voice and instruments. The heart of Pandora is the Music Genome Project that was started in 2000 by Will Glaser, Jon Kraft and Tim Westergren. Songs can be heard on the computer or a mobile device. The more songs listened to and voted on, the more Pandora fine tunes the station to the user's music preferences. (Pandora lets users create their own personalized radio stations by selecting a favorite artist and voting thumbs up or down on each song that is delivered.

Lee Lehman sees the effect of Pandora as twofold: “to stir a person into doing something, and to produce unintended options of the person.” Jacob Schwartz gives this asteroid’s significance as “encountering unanticipated ramifications and options of a larger process, caught off-guard, curiosity initiating change.” Sources: George and Bloch give Pandora’s principle as “curiosity that initiates change.” Zipporah Dobyns also associates Pandora with curiosity and has found it prominent in the charts of many astrologers. Unlike the planets, which are associated with a wide range of phenomena, the smaller asteroids are said to represent a single principle. Preliminary material on Pandora can be found in Demetra George and Douglas Bloch’s Astrology for Yourself, and an ephemeris (table of celestial locations) for Pandora can be found in the second edition of George and Bloch’s Asteroid Goddesses. Pandora is one of the more recent asteroids to be investigated by astrologers. Only the asteroid has been investigated by astrologers. Both celestial bodies were named after the mythological Greek woman who released the ills of humanity by opening a box that the gods had sent her but had forbidden her from unsealing. Pandora, asteroid 55 (the 55th asteroid to be discovered, on September 10, 1858), has an orbital period a bit longer than 4½ years, and it is almost 113 kilometers in diameter. Pandora, the recently discovered (1980) moon in the Saturnian system, is about 55 miles in diameter and orbits Saturn in less than two-thirds of a terrestrial day at an average distance of 88,200 miles. Pandora is the name of two distinct celestial bodies: A moon of Saturn and an asteroid. Pandora (religion, spiritualism, and occult) Reproduced by permission of Fortean Picture Library.
