Xenomorph 'big chap' in pre-mortis stasis, fusing with the Nostromo

Before Fede suggested the original Alien cocoons itself in space, there was a scene in Alien where the big chap was fusing itself with the ship, its fingers were blending with wires going into the equipment around it.

According to Ridley Scott, his take was the Alien itself was dying as they had a short lifespan. They did have a couple of different endings for the film, one was that it kills Ripley and at the very end , sitting down in the captain's chair and starts speaking in the voice of Dallas in perfect mimicry, sending out the distress signal that Ripley says in the end of the original.

"How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be." ~ Elizabeth Lesser
