Alien Covenant Tess Haubrich

During the Covenant's big pre-mission party, Tess Haubrich's character says something that sticks out compared to the lighter banter going on.

She says, "I heard about these crazy bugs just outside the colonial outpost. Apparently they look like cockroaches the size of giant poodles."

Sure, this could just be an innocent reference to space bugs that pose no real harm to humans, but it's more likely an intentional nod to facehuggers, something the crew will be coming into contact with very soon.
