They learn that it is actually the button that causes the gas to appear.But it becomes really scary when they suddenly attack one of their own, because they know that his acid blood will destroy the metal and will free them. It indicated a previously unknown intelligence - the Aliens in the previous movies just seemed to be the typical cunning predator - but the intelligence shown in these scenes was on a humanoid level (I wonder if it is an influence of the alien/human hybrid nature of the cloned aliens, or if aliens were always that intelligent -  In the first movie, they were found aboard an alien space ship, but it is "Alien" alien, or where they just transported by another faction?)But I also liked the Bugs from the Starship Troopers - their caste system was quite interesting  - some bugs to attack space ships, ground attackers, flyers, and apparently some intelligent masters...</blockquote>
