I like to imagine that there were several different 'factions' on the alien planet - comparable to Russians, Americans, Chinese?? All fighting for 'supremacy' in space? Perhaps the aliens didnt need a massive amount of spare organs - perhaps they were growing them from tiny cells taken from the original organ. In which case Leila Carlin's heart might have provided new hearts for hundreds, if not thousands, of aliens?

The use of animals/ESP etc and the attempt to destroy Earth (Destruction) or cause a massive earthquake (Long Sleep) might  have been a separate faction who had a different agenda, such as creating a new home world?

Just a thought. But I agree that leaving it all unresolved keeps the tension going and adds to the mystery.
