If you look at the very bottom between the legs you will see a form that resembles a facehugger, directly above it you will see the "woman" he described directly bove that the xeno ribcage and head appears. This succinctly depicts the alien life cycle.
The legs double as the walls of the egg for the hugger, and if you have ever seen the deleted scene from Alien, Dallas and Brett don't look like they have had eggs laid in front of them; they appear as if they are becoming eggs, so the walls surround the "host" figure as well. And as the head fades into the background, "queen plates" clearly radiate out from the back
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
