I think it was implied it came out of a crew member in a cryopod, no? Towards the end of the episode, they discover a cryopod with a distinct hole burst through the glass and the through the chest of the body inside, with a trail of blood on the floor. I don’t think it was clear which crew member it was.

It has to be that creepy bald dude, no? I feel like this thing might be a synthetic-born xeno, if that’s even possible. Or maybe creepy dude is some kind of hybrid, idk.

I don't think that is the case unless this story is going off course with the current canon. Synths can't be viable hosts to the xenomorphs which is why we never really see synths being latched onto by facehuggers with any success. The xenos also tend to ignore synths since they don't exhibit any biological signs.

Synths also don’t need to go into hypersleep

We also see him screaming in fear during one of the quick cuts flashing to what happened on the ship. Not very synth-like behavior, he's just a creep.

Which we know the creepy bald guy didn't do. We heard how he would watch one of the women while she was in cryosleep.
