Hello fellow Prometheans, sorry its been a while but journalism, graphic design, site development and general admin duties keep me quite busy these days. Anyhoo, I came across this and spotted a couple of errors straight away, and the realized you gus would love to pick this apart, so enjoy yourselves...

Open the pic in a new tab to view full size.

I may use your corrections to create a more accurate, better looking infographic combined with the official black goo infographic (you know the one).

P.S. Bigdave, please try to keep the walls of text and 'ambiguity' to a minimum on this one - we love you bro but sometimes less is more!

As far as the Jockey and his mission and why they use Urns, i cant be sure their are a number of possible explanations but each could carry a somewhat in-continuity or not add up correctly or pose more questions than answers.

You idea that the Goo = Eggs eventually and they are harvested, is a sinister one and we could be seing something slighly based off that in future.... but for me there would be a few questions to that, which include how can they safely transport them and then how does the  Goo lead to Eggs, it could do but i think it would create a lot of things also like we saw in Prometheus.

If we was shown that a Xeno can morph itself to a Egg as its final Stage then maybe its possible if Xeno DNA altered Organisms can do so too.

There has to be a connection to LV 223, LV 426 and the Xeno but how and when we cant be 100% sure,  it depends on if Ridleys comments are to be taken as FACT, or Red Herrings.

Two most likely scenerios are however... without going into how and why or explaining but keep it simple.

1) Goo Experiments on LV 223 produce Eggs as a process and these are then shipped off to some destination... the Derelict did not get to its destination...

2) The Derelict was carrying Eggs from some undisclosed place with the intention for them to be taken to LV 223 where experiments would be conducted on them, maybe leading to the Goo in the Urns.

Ridley hints there is however a few hundred years difference between LV 223 Engineer event and LV 426 Space Jockey...

Which of these we apply to the above as in occur prior or after LV 223 incident by few hundred years is something up for debate....  Maybe a likely one was 2)  i.e a re-weaponizing of the Original Weapon

Actually for the urns-eggs route I think the process is more linear somehwat imo at least, I'll summarise...

  • A Juggernaut enters the atmosphere of a target world; this would have been Earth 2000 years ago if it wasn't for the outbreak on LV-223. From high up in the atmosphere the Juggernaut drops the urns like bombs, which shatter on impact and spreads the goo across the planet, contaminating water, being ingested by wildlife and inevitably getting into our ecosystem through the water we drink and the crops and livestock we eat. Oblivious to the contamination we continue our daily lifes. Some fall ill (like Holloway), some become violent (like Fifield) and those that will have fornicated give rise to Trilobites (like Shaw), which in turn impregnate others giving rise to many, many deacons. Deacons then egg morph a victim and coccoon another, a royal facehugger is born which impregnates the coccooned victim whom incubates a Queen. The Queen bursts free and matures laying thousands of eggs, the facehuggers within subverting the planets native lifeforms into Aliens (a la Hadleys Hope in Aliens). In time the supply of hosts gets exhausted and slowly the Alien drones/warriors die off, following eventually by the queens, leaving only the eggs, of which the Juggernaut acquires before heading off to the homeworld.

Of course, this is only my opinion of how to link the Juggernauts seen in Prometheus to that seen in Alien and Aliens. And unsurprisingly my dark imagination has developed it further...

The Aliens biggest strength, and its greatest weakness is its reliance of using hosts to propogate its numbers. Thus I envisioned a means beyond the egg morphing and the queen, in which the Alien could self propogate without losing its advantage...

  • We know the Queen is obviously female, beyond this I envision that the Aliens seen in 1986 Aliens, the ridged headed variant are also female, but completely infertile and that the Aliens seen in Alien, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, the smooth headed variant are likewise male but also infertile. Now, Imagine the scenario as explained above, whereby the urns have been dropped, the xenomorph has flourished and the supply of hosts is running low. What if the Queen first produces females, then evolves to produce the males before again evolving to lay an egg incubating a royal facehugger, of which would be used to transport a fertile male embryo into its host - a King Alien.

Granted, in and of itself this is not an original idea, but wait. Once matured said King would fight and kill other Kings within its vicinity (being naturally aggressive), conquering those hives as its territory and claiming the Queens within as their prize, of which they get to fornicate with, impregnating them with its seed. The Queens then return to their hives and continue as before laying eggs. However only half the eggs laid from this point onwards would contain facehuggers, the other half would incubate a soft tissued, weaker subservient sub-species, that once 'born' from their eggs would be used as hosts thus allowing the Alien to self propogate...

Now here comes the twist - originally I envisioned this host sub species to be Predators, but I know a lot of people wil be rolling their eyes at the mere mention. So I changed it, and envisioned the host sub species as the Engineers. We came to be because of the Engineers, whom in turn came to be because of the Aliens, but the Aliens cannot be a naturally evolved species, so whom created them - something beyond dark I will no doubt imagine.

some nice ideas....  and thats the beauty of the franchise and Prometheus is there really is no set in STONE way this movie should logically go forwards so anything is open....

As far as the first point, yes the sequece of events that led to Shaws Trillobite was a set of events...

These could be replicated on Earth as you said surely if Water Supply got infected, and was drank by a Male Human then we could see the potential for similar to happen... or even what about what kind of Organism would come from a Male other kind of Animal that drinks contaminated Goo.

The thing that is not for certain and so its left open to endless posibilities would be how would such infected Organisms evolve...

How would a mutated Fifield had ended up, had he not been killed... does he go through futher evolution, or breaks down?

The same goes for Holloway..

What becomes of the Hammerpedes how can they procreate and the same goes for the Deacon.

And  so on Earth a infected worlds Organisms we cant be sure what would become of them, the Weyland file showed Life Eradication but can we take that as FACT?  Is it a case of they are simply evolved into something new and so the Original Life on Earth is destroyed but replaced with something new?

The Fire and Stone Comic seems to show us thats what happens.
