They didn't plan Genocide by Supermodel at all. Perhaps they're very keen on [[EvilutionaryBiologist genetic]] [[ProfessorGuineaPig modification]] and given how resilient alien Sil is, they thought they are giving us a gift. For them it was like sending a [[MacheteMayhem machete]] and a [[Franchise/FridayThe13th hockey mask]], because, hey, a machete is a useful tool, and [[CanadaEh everybody likes hockey]], right? [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong Right?]]

[[WMG: The DNA that went into Sil wasn't that of the species that sent the message.]]
Instead, they sent something else they thought would be interesting (or effective as a weapon, if you think they're evil). When Laura suggests growing just the alien DNA to see what the creature naturally is, they end up with. . . something. An amorphous mass that just grows until they try to burn it, at which point it seemingly instantly transforms into some kind of snake-leech thing and slithers away, then grows like MeatMoss behind some pipes. It seems to just have no default form, transforming into whatever will let it survive and grow in its current environment. [[Film/TheThing1982 There's another creature that it is believed has no fixed form, alters its appearance to survive and camouflage itself among other creatures, and can possibly regenerate from a few cells. . .]]

* Going off this, the reason the aliens are so crazy it not because of the alien DNA, but because of the Human DNA. Maybe the combination of both is what drives their aggressiveness and need to mate UpToEleven and pure aliens are actually a peaceful, benign race. Of course, for this theory to work you have ignore what the scientists said about Mars in the second film, but given that: A) He was crazy and B) The movie was crap, we can just ignore it.

And the sample they sent is a fragment of [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] DNA. It was their plan B in case the LV-223 facility WMD wouldn't work. So they sent a piece of genome of their most successful(according to EU successful enough to [[GoneHorriblyRight rebel against them and win]]) bioweapon and let our stupidity do the rest. Also, Sil and her ilk look an awful lot like a perfect mix of human and xenomorph, in appearance, mindset and abilities. The fact they can be tame and reasonable when treated like people and not like lab rats was not a problem for the Engineers, they know [[AbsoluteXenophobe humanity]] all too well...

* It could be possible the alien DNA that infected Patrick is a flawed mutation in itself. Whether by any other dna or just by it's own species. The team in the first movie kills the pure alien creature before much could be learned about it. But it seems strange that what they found on Mars would impregnate a human female and inject it's own dna into a human male. Perhaps it even knew it was a genetic failure to it's own kind, and was hoping to preserve it's line any way it could? And when Patrick came to Earth he brought those mutations with him?
** The major problem in this line of thinking is that each step in this chain is itself some matter of hybrid. (if Patrick can really be called that?) Each with questions the movies never bother fully explaining to us. I think it's entirely possible Patrick's infector could have been a hybrid itself, a genetic mutation and/or a subspecies to the pure DNA that was sent. And even if a scifi setting, any of those things could totally cause genetic problems to his mating with humans or Eve.
