Theory about Lope's Xeno gestation

MemberNeomorphMay 21, 2017I am not particularly offended by such things as the gestation rate of the second xenomorph in the movie. However, I have a theory that may appease those who have an issue with that.
We have seen acid penetrating through Lope's face. Later on, David treats his wound on the lander. As we know, David carries some facehugger embryos.
Could it be that he also carries the embryonic creature that the facehugger releases into the victim's body (something the size of a tadpole). Then he would put pass it through the open wound. Lope wouldn't feel much, he's probably under the effect of pain killers.
