I had the same issue when I read it. I took it that she eventually succumbed to her injuries.
Extended exposure to vacuum I thought.
Speaking of, earlier in the series Davis says he can only handle hard vacuum for a limited time, but he seemed pretty okay with it when hiding from the Queen and then messing with her corpse.
Also yeah sure you can write off Davis' willingness to shoot and kill humans as him never having been programmed with the First Law of Robotics like, say, Bishop was, or that he evolved past that programming when he was hacking himself, but I'd have preferred if it had at least gotten some lip service.
Also I finished volume 2 and hooo boy, what a clunker. The only actual Alien in those six issues is an under-utilized Queen that can't decide if it's alive or dead (not counting flashbacks and hallucinations I guess), with the entire second half feeling like a build-up to the return to earth.... which happens with all the impact of a wet fart. Hollis and Davis die off-panel, the corporate surveillance angle is half-baked and then totally disregarded when it's no longer convenient, the original Colonial Marines series had better closure than Defiance (and a lot more Aliens, and more interesting characters, and more varied locations).
Christ what a disappointment. The first half was freaking great and set up a ton of cool possibilities for a long-running series, and then it went right into a tailspin with issue 7 and never recovered.
