With the ENGINEERS running at a flat-out pace what are they actually runng FROM, an animal or an event? Animal as a complete abomination of there former creation or of themselves - An event like a Biological Tsunami of sorts or a pyroclastic flow of biological agent? There end-of-the-world Atlantis-like destructuion wrought in their own ruin? I would really like to hear your insights into this hanging thought as it teases your thinking but does not really give anything away or tell you anything other than they (the ENGINEERS) were there at some point in some ancient history of theirs and one of their kind did perish in the attempt to escape from something but it seems that a particular 'something' prevented their departure. Be it natural, ENGINEER-made, or otherwise.

I read the PROMETHEUS script it may have been the first draft/earlier draft or the most up-to-date one just they didn't show in the final film SHAW affects the ENGINEERS head and much as when you see the face-plate of Darth Vader coming down on Anakin Skywalkers face you see out through the masks' eye sockets it looks reddish as it gets scloser and closer to his face. Well, to draw on that, when SHAW operates on the head and adds electrolosis to its brain cavity region she has some sort of video feed hooked up to the probe and you see out as the ENGINEER would see! Because don't forget, she tricked the cells into thinking they were alive again and the script says that SHAW or Watts as she was known in an earlier draft which later became the PROMETHEUS we all know of now says she was a form that appeared like a glistening angel with energy all around her. Clearly the ENGINEERS see in a heightened plain of sensory perception. Not just say infra red or ultraviolet but a kind of electromagnetic polarity of sorts. A sort of gravity perception, it's really weird the way it is worded in the two scritps. When I have found and underlined the relevant passages I will cut and paste them to here so you can read them as I feel it makes for interesting reading as you get more of an insight, a window into the mind set and the character of the ENGINEERS - dare I say it a: 'Gods Eye View' of things! I will keep you posted as there are other explenations of what the ENGINEER can see when the JUGGEENAUGHT is attempting to lift off that he can see for which SHAW/WATTS cannot! So there are ENGINEER alarm systems they simply exsist on an electromagnetic visionary plain that we simply can't see. They seem to be able to see the fabric of space and time themselves with their formed eyes as oppsed to ours. I will post more on this soon.

@HyperNova Thanks for the post. I would look for any POV from the Engineers

They were contaminated and ran back to the bridge. Likely, the same infection holoway was infected with or similar. I dont think they were running from another physical entity. It was evident from the decapitated head test the goo got the best of him.

Well someone had some Green sticky stuff on their fingers so I suspect the harvest had come in and everyone is in a rush to celebrate. Unfortunately if you don't make it to the party you don't get to Bong with your snorkle

".. I dont think they were running from another physical entity..." BioShock33 You point out a fundamental question since we really don't know(at this time0 what the heck is going on).Which would cause you to run for your life: Seeing the results of some mutation/testing or a physical presence that was an immediate threat to your life? In replaying the Running Engineer scene I was struck how they kept looking over their shoulders..how they didn't stop to help the falling Engineerr and that they seemed to ahve a clear destination that to them represented safety from whatever. Since several posters have interest in the scientific field let's ask how they would react? What if they discovered a mutation/unexpected result/ dangerous test results do they run with panic for their lives? If they would face with an animal like entity that is an immediater threat to their lives would they flee to safety? In reading over the last few lines I could see how one might run like hell from discovering a threat so dagerous but not a physical entity. There was a movie called 'Silkwood' that when there was a radiation leak the actors did indeed run like hell. I still think there would be aphysical entity causeing the Engineer's behaviour that we see in the movie. It still would be of greater interest as to why this particualr scene was allowed to viewed by our crew members. Maybe the fact that we not only see Engineers running in panic and vieweing the decapitaed head scene that this whole hologram business was indeed a warning to stay out!

"..Well someone had some Green sticky stuff on their fingers .." I couldn't tell if then Green Goo Panel was as high up the wall as the Door Opening panel.. I wish i knew. David was much faster at punching the buttons on the second panel than the first. He is a fast learner. But the Green Gooo is th e is what i noyiced in the previous post. In checking a few threads on this subject I didn't discover any valid answers. As far as the running engineers why was this openning panel so high up the wall and why was this door even open for the running Engineers to enter the room?. I think this tunnel floods and the panel is high so it stays out of harms way.
