Heheheheh.. Dark Horse comics already beat you to this idea. In
their one-off comic, 'Aliens: Purge' a scientist who's experimenting with
the use of leprosy victims as hosts (the dry leprosy somehow retards the
final growth of the chest-burster almost indefinitly) discovers that it's
possible to infect an Alien egg with a _biological_ computer virus using
leprosy spores as a protective carrier.
Quote: "It deleted and _rewrote_ specific DNA chains according to
its program, growing an android _instead_ of an alien. Android morphology
is heavily based on silicon polymers, so is the aliens. It wasn't
difficult to make the adjustments."
God.. think of Quincy getting his hands on _that_ technology...
