|

I have some more question to ask. This subtitle also comes from Aliens, the second Alien movie. Thank you all for your help and patience.
For your convenience, I keep the timestamp of the subtitle. If you are not familiar with subtitles, you can just ignore the timestamp before the sentences.
When the drop-ship flies down to the planet, FERRO, the pilot said
524
00:41:35,835 --> 00:41:38,300
We're in the pipe, five by five.
What does this sentence mean? |

Again, probably a military term. " Pipe" might mean the " flight course/trajectory"...their line of travel...and "5 by 5" probably just means some sort of measurment and/or coordinates...like sailing across the ocean(?)... |
