Carrier
Joe Hermit's lung removed. Joe was not infected by the facehugger.
Denouement
Wendy releases him and uses her connection to him during her escape and rebellion. This is not proof of the safe domestication of the entire species.
Development
- After being wounded, Joe receives an artificial lung.
- Kirsch removes the embryo from the facehugger and places it in the removed organ.
- The young organism emerges from the lung; Wendy makes contact with him.
- The adult is kept on the island and is later released.
Dossier boundaries
The designation of a laboratory specimen serves to distinguish organisms; it does not mean a new species.
