Lambert [the audience] reacted as most of us would in the presence of the MORB...she freaked out, but she was paralysed with fear!
The impression I have is that whatever fate did befall her she actually died from a heart attack.
Just to go off topic a little, sorry Facehuggers!...like the rest of the cast, Veronica was fantastic, you could see and feel the fear and dread throughout her performance. She knew they were doomed from the get go!
