That is an unwarrented assumption. In fact the opposite would seem to
be true. A higher metabolism rate would take *longer* to be put to
sleep (more drugs for a longer time required?) But in any event this is
sheer speculation. Remember, The Alien flew off into space. There
was no thought of a sequal at the time Alien was made (at least I never
heard any such rumors) so foreshadowing seems to be a far out idea.
