Resting a body inside a Cocoon, the Alien slowly transmutes the biology of the subject; changing the genealogy of said subject for the purposes of adaptation to a basic function, or genetic capability. While this effect seems simple, it is nothing but; the person in question is subjected to a forceful moment of drowsiness before being sat in a fetal position.
Thus begins the process: a cocoon is formed using the salivary regurgitation of the Xenomorph, creating a thick leathery cradle for the body to be placed in. The Cradle is then filled with Amniotic fluid provided by the Xeno-Mother, to which the Person inside will be drowned by soon. To ensure their survival, the Xeno-Mother injects their breathing apparatus, whatever that may, be with a fleshy umbilical that which is attached to the Cradle's respiratory organ.
This process may shock the subject into a state of fear and confusion, leading them to harm the process, so to ensure they won't interfere with the progress, the Cradle's biological appendages wrap around the limbs of the body and seal themselves. Injecting them with a numbing effect of which makes movements slow and constricting: You are awake, you can move, it's dark, wet, hot, you're barely being kept alive by the pumped hot air in your body. All you can hear is the muffled sounds of a monster lurking just outside your shell. You can break out... But will you?
On the outside, it looks like the most horrible state of body horror, that ends with the cocoon bursting with amniotic fluid, being set anew; like a reborn child.
