Once again the speed of the "Xenomorph" life-cycle is altered, as the process from Facehugger to Chestburster is less than ten minutes, being more alike to the life-cycle seen in Alien vs. Predator (2004). Also, the scene where Lopé is attacked by the Facehugger on Planet 4 has attracted much criticism from fans due to how it contradicts established lore, as Lopé remains conscious and the embryo is implanted within seconds, while in Aliens - Scontro finale (1986), there was sufficient time to surgically remove a Facehugger before embryo implantation (though at the cost of the patient's life). The novel, however, explains the rapid speed of implantation, gestation and growth as a result of David's experiments with the black mutagen, which accelerated the growth rate of all stages of the Planet 4 strain.
