I think you should add more to the Egg Silo locations, as I love the idea of adding them, but there isn't much of an upside to playing them as is. I think the egg silo has the flavor potential to be turned into an archetype if you can figure out the right idea for it.
The cross locations are a bit of an issue, since cross locations are adjacent to 2 regular locations (they aren't attached to anything), so if you play one, it cuts off that side of the HUD, as there is nothing you can legally place adjacent to it, and the cross locations wont work if the intended ground level location ends up in the middle of your HUD. You could play 2 different ones to try and shut off both sides of your HUD so you can't play any more locations, so Operations never enters play, and you never get connected to the opponent. then win by data or evacuation. Not sure how to word those and keep the original intent though. Maybe "May only enter play adjacent to CARD NAME", that way they can be adjacent to other locations, but HAVE to be adjacent to their related ground level location or not be played at all. Something like that. Cross locations are supposed to be played adjacent to other cross locations also, but I'd rule that a game text placement restriction would override the normal placement rules.

I think From Out of Nowhere needs to be better. Broken Tusk, Pure Dread and Shrieking Growl seem quite good.
Some great choices for pictures here, but a bit fuzzy. Really like the image choices for Vice Grip/Witnessed Birth.

I was thinking of making From Out of Nowhere a free attack. Unfortunately the picture quality isn't going to be much better. The majority of those pictures are from a trading card set that I purchased over the weekend called "Fright Flix" from the late 80's early 90's and they were printed on a cardboard type paper stock. I scanned them at the highest quality possible to try to minimize the blurriness. Believe it or not, the Broken Tusk picture that I used was actually the same picture that Harper Prism used on an ad for the AvP card game as Young Tusk before the game was launched and they changed it for whatever reason. I don't know why they did. The picture they had was a lot cooler in my opinion.

I like that version of the card a lot more.

I like the Wrist Flare/Ammo pack mechanic, but Wrist Flare needs to be better to justify 2 search actions and rotating to reload. I do like the flavor of an emergency weapon though, so maybe add more to it in a non-damage way to further emphasize the emergency aspect of its use. Immune to Disarmament/Malfunction/Johner also maybe?
Quid Pro Quo - I think it would be better as allowing you to win by honor, or remove the pool cost.
Pack Attack flavor text is hilarious. Well done.

I fixed the wrist flare and quid pro quo. I was thinking about adding more immunity to the weapon initially but I was unsure if it would make the weapon cheap. Although the 2 search rounds is a bit of a balance to it if the weapon was to be reused. Quid pro quo I fixed too. You were right with having it be a victory card, it balances the event. When I made it initially, I was doing it based on the ending of AVP: R. I like the new version better. I'm glad you got the reference on Pack Attack. I was hoping someone would. When I saw that picture that was the first thing that popped in my head. It's odd that Resurrection filmed a lot of stuff and then dropped it due to a script change (although not as bad as alien 3). That pic was from a scene in the script where the crew is chased through a botanical garden. I always wondered why it was never mentioned in the special features?

I've only ever seen that 1 shot from the garden scene. I wonder if more shots are out there. Would be terrific fodder for card images.

I think Over Here and Tactful Block need a wording that they can stack with other event modifiers, given their narrow application.
