I worked at the lumber yard that supplied some of the wood for the cabin in "Great Outdoors". The blueprints were signed and framed over the entrance. H&L Lumber in Oakhurst California.
Pretty sure it wanted to take over the alien but couldn't get through it's hide/exoskeleton.
@Bald Brah eyeball doesn't know the Xenomorph has acid for blood. The crew was surprised by it even.
They had more crew that wasn't awake. They mention briefly waking up the rest but they shoot that idea down. Plus the borg is pretty efficient, he probably led the captures.
