Once
deposited within the host's stomach, the infant begins rapid growth and DNA
sampling through direct linkage with the surrounding tissues. A rigorous DNA
polymerase is introduced into the bloodstream of the host to encourage system-wide
genetic compliance. Once the genome has been analysed, the Foetus begins to
adapt its own genome accordingly. The purpose is three-fold: To imbue itself
with usful traits inherant to the host; to ascertain a picture of the host's
weaknesses; and to alter the host's metabolism to accommodate the growth of
the forming Alien.
