Per-record field layout: see 29566 (ActorRecords). In particular +1 is the STARTING ROOM (6 = CommdCentr, 27 = Mess) and +4 is the crew member's strength. The Long Game opens with Dallas, Kane and Ripley on the bridge and Ash, Lambert and Parker in the Mess — the film's dinner scene, ready for message #33 "Alien has hatched from {actor}". LongGameInit stamps $FF into +1/+7 of the host slot chosen via LongGameHostSlotTable (the HostMarker). All seven crew slots start with non-zero +4/+5/+6, so every crew member is alive and placed when a Long Game begins. LongGameInit's script-driven step at 42313-42334 then marks one slot as the chestburster host — the only crew whose +1 and +7 will hold $FF after init.
