Number 09

@Ati - no need to make jabs at S.M. Let's keep discussion civil and on-topic now shall we.

On the topic of the crew of the Prometheus waking up wet however, I always assumed they were encased in some form of gel, which kept the skin from drying out while being exposed to low temperatures. Also - waking up, the tubes likely were filled with a warm water/gel to assist in the body's acclimation to room temperature (like thawing meat).

If that's the case why does no one appear to be wet apart from Vickers? You would at least expect their hair to be wet, and more evidence of water on the floor?

When we see Shaw puking in a bucket, the floor looks wet, as does she and those around her. Holloway as well, has a towel wrapped around him.

I knew some of that, but great to see none the less. I need to get the Alien novel one of these days. Nursing school takes all of my money lately, but in May my training is complete.

I already had the Alien 3 novelization. I just ordered the remaining 3! :D

"When we see Shaw puking in a bucket, the floor looks wet, as does she and those around her. Holloway as well, has a towel wrapped around him."

Indeed.  And David puts a towel on Shaw.

However she isn't wet, neither is anyone else and no one else has puddles underneath their tubes.

It's very different from how we find Vickers.  No one is wet when the tubes open.

I looked at the scene again. And it doesn't look much like there is any liquid or gel in the cryo-chambers. But there is steam rising from them. So I'm thinking they must be kept somewhat humid or something to help maintain moisture.

Vickers is wet while the others are not. So that's odd. But then again so is she, so who knows. Maybe she doused herself in some antimicrobial substance with her risk minimizing tendencies.

Indeed there is condensation rather than being any liquid... and indeed Vickers is oddly wet but not her hair....

As far as the things in the book,  it is interesting and no matter what proof, or comments or what we chose to use as CANON they can change their minds to how the whole Derelict situation went down.

But the reason for why a Urn/Jar ended up in the Pilot Chamber and described different to the Oval things in the Cargo hold.. is interesting.

We dont know if this would be used to explain the Space Jockey Event in future movies... i will make a Topic as i have narrowed down the Space Jockey Story a bit..

But with Alien Covenant its all subject to change but indeed movies in the Franchise have re-used unused ideas, plots and concepts from previous movies.
