So in the case of beast X which breeds at Y speed the alien Z would breed at an initial rate X * Z then at a reduced rate of X * Y until eventually all you had left were Z.

At that point. Z will go something like 'oh'

and X won't be doing much of anything and it certainly won't be getting up to any of the fun that precludes Y.

If you get my meaning.

They lay the eggs independantly of hosts being available and the eggs Last indefinatley(millions of years), and hop out whenever something big enough to implant(a cat) is around.... facehuggers themselves are pretty damn fierce!
