Matrix existence the norm ?

Yes yes. This is also a good idea. I think that there is definitely a lot more to the Prometheus story than just ancient astronaughts planning to wipe us all out, for god knows what reason. I'm also assuming at this point, that, the mural of the Giger Alien in the ampule chamber, is a depiction of Jeebus Christ on the cross. Maybe that is what he is in REALITY? He is really a Giger Alien. It's fun to speculate!

Lets say that the engineers are like the "Agents" in the matrix. The Agents take over the bodies of the people within the matrix. What if, the engineers can take over the bodies of the people in the Prometheus matrixy thing, but with the aid of the facehuggers.

Maybe the engineers got it from the elders who got it from the super elders who are basically demi gods and part energy and therefore can tap into a collective hive mind and after xeno - ing a planet the the extracted dna is automatically incorporated into the dna structure of all connected to that hive mind so that testing the dna can begin and the good will be kept and the bad cut out - all while sleeping.

Is this how bob ended up between the engineers of lv 223 without the rest knowing he was mentally kidnapped ? Necro Maybe being facehugged is like being becoming part of the borg . The hugger creates an organism that can then be used to transmit the dna back to the engineers and strenthening their genome.

Yeah maybe. The engineers may control the Giger Alien from their cryo chambers, assimilating/rounding up all the humanoids that Prometheus set free. "The Eternal Reaccurance." Prometheus will be back again, to set us all free. EDIT: The engineers may control the Giger Aliens like avatars.

This bad news for wy because it may be that the engineers found out that the ship on lv 426 could be a possible way for humans to use this matrix ability to get hold of all the information the elders also had. That is maybe why bob even though he was from different faction wanted earth humans killed as well because they would be able to their hands on engineer / elder technology by accesing the elder sub space matrix freqencies. Maybe that's my wy eanted a xeno on earth.

Before writing the original screenplay for Prometheus, Spaihts wrote a sci fi story (can't remember the name of it) about terraforming engineers (not the ones from Prometheus but...) who would use avatars to do their work. Am I correct? Maybe that's why he was brought onboard to write the Prometheus screenplay? Spaihts being a self confessed Sci Fi nerd, he would have also possibly been very influenced by the Matrix. Lindelof also deals with these very strange and confusing themes, like purgatory and smoke demons. So who knows, we may be onto something here.

@Oduodu. Yes, Weyland may well know about it. Maybe that's why he thought the engineers could give him more life. More time in his cryo sleep on paradise? But Annunaki tore me a new...oh sorry, Bob tore Weyland a new one LOL In Prometheus, the crew (especially Shaw and Weyland) seem to be somehow showing us that there is more to their time in cryo sleep than meets the eye. A scene where Weyland was in his "Virtual Reality," never got made, (due to pacing I think.) David also intruded on Shaw's "Dreams" and then actually found is way into her virtual reality. Are these also big clues?

Some one say Smoke Demons? From the smoke matrix perhaps? When the engineer was in Cryo who knows what he was breathing. Plus the pace of the film changed after Fifield hit up the helmet bong. Oh then there's that green crystal in the ample room pointing towards foreshadowing Deacon crucifix, which probably was some kind of laser technology that sealed the chamber behind the Engineers who escaped further into the complex.

Ruh, you really don't wanna go to the smoke matrix bro! All there is to munch on is hammerpede skin and black goo gravy. Stay here and have chocolate digestives.

Shall we call this Prometheus matrixy thingy, something else? How about "The Smoke?" Or "The Smog?"

"Pandora's Box?" Or just "Pandora?"

Nar maybe not. "The Labrinth?"

Got it! "THE PURGE." The MORB is in the PURGE! The Prometheus sequel could be called "The Purge" or "Alien Purge."

I think I might have a plausible theory to as what the Deacon is about. Plus this could work in both a real or matrix type world, possibly both at the same time. There are two old sayings which most people know. 1. Knowledge is power 2. Know your enemy First of all, how can you get two computers with different operation systems to share information ,that are not directly physically attached to one another. You can either transfer information via a USB stick, or Wi-fi. If we are going down the wi-fi route then there may be a need to sync one system to another Starting with the original facehugger, suppose that wee beastie is (analogy alert!) the biological equivalent of a wi-fi USB stick. It does’nt just place an alien into its host, it has to synchronise both biological systems together to enable the transfer of data. That data being everything that the facehugger feels is relevant to the survival of the alien. It the facehugger has an ESP modem type capability on wi-fi, it would also be able to dictate the development of the Xeno/alien. For instance, if no other xenos or eggs are in range the xeno will become a queen. So, Back to the Deacon Cuddles is Shaws’ mum, so it came into existence with some of Shaws’ knowledge burnt into is biological hard drive. It would have the ability to detect Bob. Because no one really knows the mysteries of the black goo, there maybe something hidden waiting to reveal itself. Anyhow, Cuddles attacks Bob and we end up with the Deacon. The Deacon is one serous loose cannon. If the Deacon does have the collective information of Shaw and Bob and something else, Then there is a good chance it may be hot on the heels of Shaw and David. What if the Deacon is Prometheus.? What if that green crystal is part of a transmission system that is for Deacons only, or is it the real link to a hive mind of the engineers.?

Cuddles and facehuggers in general may be Epimetheus.

Just done a piece of artwork and it's shite so I took it down

BTW The Morb doesn't carry the engineer around on his back. It's just a depiction of a transformation of sorts.

The facehuggers as sort of hard drives. Yes, could be. Sort of like an Alien computer virus that invades our virtual selves. Rounding us all up for use by the AI. The engineer technology appears organic. Yes? So the facehuggers and Giger Aliens/Morbs are basically their version of technology. I like it!

We, in our virtual reality crave knowledge. The engineers in their reality crave spiritual enlightenment . Humanoids in the Purge: Require knowledge to advance/evolve. From knowledge, we create all kinds of carnage. From knowledge comes missiles, bombs, cyber warfare etc etc. Engineers on the other hand, know from their ancestors that knowledge is self destructive. They rely on spirituality to guide their way. Their technology is sort of organic. In the film The Matrix, we are all digital copies of ourselves. But in The Purge, we are more like spiritual copies of ourselves, because the engineers and their AI don't deal with Digital. Just like Virgin Broadband! LOL Don't get Virgin BTW it's rubbish!
