IXTL boards the ship, and being obsessed with its own reproduction, kidnaps several crew members in order to implant parasitic eggs in their stomachs. It is eventually tricked into leaving the ship, after the crew has left the ship temporarily, leaving no prey left for its offspring to feed upon.The story is thought by a few to be the original inspiration behind the film Alien, although the studio and those involved with the film denied any influence on its part. However, when Van Vogt initiated a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox for plagiarism the studio eventually settled out of court!
