"That said, it's a BIG Galaxy out there, many mysteries and things that't challenge Humanity's understanding of itself, it's place in the grand scheme, and survival."
Absolutely ;)
Also i think its Interesting to see others come up with HOW they would have given the Prequels their own Spin on things, so i look Forwards to seeing what Ideas you had ;)
I did work on my own in 2013 but i lost some and other Problems with having Multiple Ways to Branch Certain Aspects that i could not CHOOSE which i prefer and which would cause less Conflict so i Abandoned them.
It was TWO Parallel Prequel Paths that would JOIN by Virtue of something latter but to be fair it was Quite a LOT to do with A.I so maybe would NOT have been everyone's Cup of Tea!
Thats Certainly True ;)
The Franchise and Especially the Prequels do go through a Constant Process of Change...
IF we ever got a Continuation then it is LIKELY that it would be Quite Different to the Plans/Ideas that would have been Floating around the Mind of Ridley Scott in 2017-2018 who knows HOW MUCH of those Ideas would Survive as to WHEN and IF we get a Continuation.
The Longer its Left the Less Likely we would see it about David or having Ridley Scotts input.
Just HOPE we dont get a Lazy Reboot of the Prequels or that they were just Cryo-Sleep Nightmares.
Lol! It's like some Twilight Zone episode with the most ironic twist ending possible.
@Blackwinter-witch
Welcome Back ;)
" I have begun work on a crossover between Alien and a human A.U. of The Octonauts... Please just trust me, it's going to be awesome"
Ha Ha Love it ;)
Yeah! And then when it's least expected...POW! We'll spring up out of the darkness and take everyone by surprise!
(Also, I'm getting some Weyland-Yutani polos to wear to work, because I realized that the Weyland-Yutani logo is remarkably close to my school's logo, and if I get it in the school color I don't think anyone will notice. ...Wish me luck lol)
I think its a Interesting Point as there is a LOT of Effort in Raising Children and Especially Teenage Years ;)
I think you run a Risk with 20 Year Olds though... some may be willing for Change... but they could still have Embedded into them Pre-existing Ideas, Knowledge and Ways.
Maybe you could get them to BUY into your Cult and Ways... maybe with Offering some Good Rewards... but then you would also have to RULE with a IRON FIST to those who STEP out of Line.
But you could Suggest that to a Degree that Religion is Born out of Similar.
I think a Small Number would be worth the Risk, as long as you have the Children and say Embryo's at hand in case this does not go to PLAN!
Free-Will and Knowledge are TWO of the Biggest Themes at Play in the Prequels. They also Play a Great Role in a Lot of Mythos and Religion.
If things have gone back to normal by the time the sequel comes out, I'm going to take the day off of work and go see it in the theater!
@Blackwinter-witch it is so amazingly lovely to see you again! It really is a feeling like returning home, isn't it?
"...possibly as a deliberate action to spare Hudson even that slight harm."
You know what, I love this theory. I think you're right, Bishop was sure to move his own hand in such a way that it would get nicked instead of Hudson's.
(Looking forward to your latest work!!!! Also, I made some edits to one of my old stories and posted it on AO3, but maybe I should go back to the original post here, and apply the edits as well.
...Also, as I'm a mom now and therefore a captive audience to children's media, I have begun work on a crossover between Alien and a human A.U. of The Octonauts... Please just trust me, it's going to be awesome.)
"Man, imagine someone freezing themselves in like, 1999 or something, and then waking up to the mess we have in 2020 lol"
Ha Ha Imagine....
Be like "What? Check this Guy Jeez! put me into Cryo-sleep and wake me up in 20 Years"
I trust Marvel about as far as I can throw a fully-laden refinery barge whilst standing on a Gravitar.
This little outpost in the Outer Veil is where folks (all of us) keep the flame of the ALIEN franchise alive.
This past ALIEN DAY was a disappointment...but that just means we go into Hibernation, prowl around here, spin our own resin and thoughts while we Wait in the darkness we all find so comforting.
Patience...is a quality ALIEN fans have in abundance. We can Wait, and in time, we'll have something new to drool over and happily screech about. :D
Beautiful work, I hope to see more from this artist and the people he works with!!
For better or worse, I am continuing on my ideas and approach with the ALIEN and it's origins, as well as exploring more about the Engineers (based on what little we do know about them).
That said, it's a BIG Galaxy out there, many mysteries and things that't challenge Humanity's understanding of itself, it's place in the grand scheme, and survival.
I have plans that will address the origins of The ALIEN as well as the Purpose and reason behind the Juggernaut on LV-426. If I'm lucky, hopefully some of you in the fanbase will appreciate this direction and 'backstory'.
For those of you who are not fans of David, rest assured that it has absolutely nothing to do with David at all.
There's also other questions about the creations of man, and how they will change things in the galaxy--as well as possibly challenge the existence of their 'Parents'...or perhaps not, there's always strange ways things can go after all.
The Title and Belt of 'Perfect Organism' is up for grabs, ladies and gentlemen, the galactic stage is being set, the lights are coming down.
There can be only one winner in this bout.
The only true Constant is that which all other Perceptual Constants is subject to:
Change.
Welcome back and I am very heartbroken for you to hear about the loss of your work.
I nearly lost all my own when my previous comp finally Retired itself, and from that, yeah I can get close to understanding what you must have felt.
Glad you're back and continuing on!! (HUG)
A long journey through the cold and dark places of the Outer Veils of fiction, and I return to find...
That not a whole lot has changed, for which I am very glad to see. The Bishop Error, I have to go with the idea of a slight error when doing the trick owing to Hudson's slight movement. It's very likely Hudson at some point had a reflexive jerk-back movement in his hand, and in compensating for such Bishop nicked his finger--possibly as a deliberate action to spare Hudson even that slight harm.
In the end, I'm still just blown away that Lance Henriksen did the trick unaided with trick photography...and the table's condition shows it. lol
Missed you all, and will be a once-again more active member as I have finally worked out some long-troubling points about working in the ALIENverse and what to pursue as a long-awaited and talked-about sequel to ALIEN: Manticore
Also, updated where folks can find my previous works, Issuu makes it easier for readers.
Lol, I actually used to keep pet rats. They're a joy.
Well, if the Engineers are going to destroy humanity but scoop up a few easily influenced folks, I think they should go for people in their early 20's, not kids or babies.
Very young human children are remarkably inefficient compared with the young of other species and are not even able to sleep or eat without a huge amount of assistance. (And if the Engineers are going to make more humanoids, I really think they should work on that aspect, btw. )
Slightly older children, well, you can try to influence them but they're just inherently defiant and rebellious and contrary.
But 20 year olds, like starting out college age extremely into new idea very open to the thought that everything they've learned so far might be wrong.
Not saying it's a good or a bad thing, but if the Engineers want to start up a colony of human beings and instill a whole new philosophy, that's really the way to go, if you ask me.
Have an Engineer to act as a cool, wise, enlightened professor, and he'll get a lot of people on board. Set up a commune on a new world and teach them that technology leads to all sorts of social ills and should be avoided.
Heck it could be fun. Everyone just gardens, plays D&D, and tells scary campfire stories. About the evils of technological advancement. And worships the Engineers, I guess?
@dk
Oh yeah, that Matrix is a good connection! True, the potential for it turning into a nightmare would be there. A SUPER LONG nightmare. ...Like one of those Black Mirror episodes, yeah? But, I guess, you could communicate with the outside world.
But yeah, if it's someone like David overseeing the whole thing, not gonna put a lot of trust there...
Hmm, one way ticket to the future... Man, imagine someone freezing themselves in like, 1999 or something, and then waking up to the mess we have in 2020 lol.
Well, I think since it's established that Weyland-Yutani is a super greedy mega-corporation, they're not thinking too hard about what a folly it is to put people's lives at risk this way.
They're probably not even thinking too hard about specific applications for it. Leave that to the marketing department. They just know that there ARE people who could dream up specific applications for it, and would likely play a high price for it.
The military is one potential bidder, of course. It kind of makes you question what sorts of big, interplanetary wars, break out between colonized worlds, in this specific dystopia.
Also, imagine you're a wealthy real estate mogul. You've just bought yourself a new fixer-upper of a planet but along with your purchase you've inherited a few pesky, stubborn tenants who you'd like to get rid of before you can set up your lucrative new resort.
(Or heck, maybe you've bought this planet for private usage, not even as an investment venture. But either way, you need to clear the place of its former inhabitants before you move in).
Well, just unleash a few of these babies and you'll have yourself a newly uninhabited world in no time!
So, like that, I think Weyland-Yutani was just going to try to study potential effects without much ethical consideration, and then sell to the highest bidders.
You HIT the Nail on the HEAD ;)
It would NOT mean they are Sinister.... but they have to think of the Greater Good for their Agenda (Genetic Space Gardeners) for example you may find a Mouse Cute and Harmless... lets keep ONE as a Pet....
But if you ENDED UP with a Mice Infestation you have to then Consider the Harm that they are Causing for you, and you would be LEFT with No Choice but to take out Plans to Eradicate them... Nothing Personal or Malice Involved.
I think you have to look it from the Engineers Perspective... it would seem they would WANT to keep any Worlds they have Civilizations on at a Certain Level of Technology, you would NOT want to ALLOW or see your Sub-Creation gain any Technology that would allow them to GET to other Worlds and Influence those Worlds with their own Culture.... you would ALSO not want them either Advancing to a Equal Footing as yourself or being able to OBTAIN and USE your own Technology.
So we know Mankind does-not Follow the Ways the Engineers would expect from us, and we have been able to Traverse Space, can you imagine if W-Y would turn up to another World the Engineers had Seeded with Humanoids who Technologically are Thousands of Years behind us?
The Engineers would NOT want to see us Influence such Worlds.
We are NOT all Bad.... but with Billions of us, it would be Too Much to try and CHANGE the way we Think/Behave to get us back on Track and Control or get us to Give Up our Technology.... and so the ONLY option is to Pull the Plug
Dr Shaw may think the Engineers were going to be HARSH! But you have to look at it from their Perspective and ASSUME that we are NOT the only World with Humanoids or Humans.
We are but ONE little Fish Tank with Gold Fish when there are maybe Many More.... so if thats the Case then by Destroying the Earth you are NOT really Completely Eradicating all of your Creation... just the ONE World where its got out of Control!
Even if say the Earth was the ONLY place with Humans or more so the ONLY place with Humanoids.... i think it would be LOGICAL and LIKELY that the Engineers would come to Earth to Collect some Humans before they then go and Plan the Destruction...
They could then take these Humans... gain Children from them and maybe they could KILL the Adults because with the Children you can START AGAIN and Influence them how you wish....
I think its likely the Engineers had done this in the Past.. it makes Sense...
If NOT then it would be too much Hassle to do it NOW with how the Earth is in the Year 2112 but if they come across a Small Colony or a Ship then i think they would TAKE the Humans so they can Reproduce our Species, and take the Babies and maybe its Curtains for the Adults.
Unless as i have mentioned... they ALREADY have other Worlds with Humans or Humanoids much like us... then they would ERADICATE us all. (Earth Originated Humanity)
I think DK gives a Great Answer.
It depends no the Person and the Condition they are in when they Enter the Cryo-Sleep Pod
A LOT will also depend on the Technology Specification of the Cryo-Pod what is the Recommended and Maximum about of TIME that they can Sustain someone.
If Dr Shaw had NOT gone and Discovered Clues to lead her to LV-223 then the CHANCES are that Weyland would have remained in Cryo-Sleep on Mars/Earth as UNTIL a Time that someone Discovered a Way to Grant him Longer Life.
You have to remember there are PEOPLE on Earth who have PAID some BIG BUCKS! to go and Freeze their Head/Brain (sometimes Body) in the Hope that someday there would be a Way to Implant their Brain or Soul into a New Body.
IF we ever INVENT a Cryo-Pod even if it can only Sustain a Person for 25 Years and they Age 4X Slower so a 60 Year old would only Appear 65 upon Awakening but they would actually be 85
Then you can be SURE that some of the Very Rich who are OLD or have some Incurable Ailment (Cancer for Instance) would Surely go and USE such Technology to put themselves on ICE in the HOPE that during the 25 Years that Advancements are made to then be able to CURE/Extend their Lives.
If this Technology is able to Suspend someone for 50 Years, 100 Years, 250 Years at a Rate of Aging at 10% then you could see some of the RICH go and Barricade themselves in such Cryo-Pods to be Stored in like Tombs... Like some Egyptian Pharaoh waiting for a Scientific Immortality.
If we Speculate about such a Technology... if we can make it even as Good as in ALIEN with Ellen Ripley and her 57 Years... Never-mind the Engineers Thousands of Years Slumber...
Then it could be used as a Pseudo Time Machine of Sorts.... only ONE WAY though.... into the Future.
Buck Rogers if you would ;)
I think IF there is the Potential of a Mistake then Bishop would have been UNAWARE he would make a Mistake and so while he ONLY had Cut himself there was the SLIGHT chance he could have Cut Hudson. We have to look at the ODDS in the Mind of Bishop for this TRICK/ACT having a Mistake and he would have Determined the RISK to Hudson being EXTREMELY LOW.
If you look at the KNIFE THROWING TRICK.... and we have all seen these surely? The Person who is getting the Knives thrown at them is in SAFE HANDS as the Knife Thrower would be VERY SKILLFUL... so NOT many Accidents Happen.
The GREATEST RISK to the Person who is having the Knives thrown at them would come from HOW MUCH they MOVE!
And so i still think this is the most Plausible way to explain HOW it was that Bishop made a Slight Mistake.... you could Perform this Trick Flawless but you would be at Risk of Error due to the Movement of the Persons Hands under your Own.
@Leto
I still have not read the NOVEL yet, but it seems that some of the NOVEL are just things that ADF has added to match what he would have liked to had seen in regards to the PLOT etc
The Drafts i have seen for Alien Covenant support more what we see in Alien Covenant rather than what is in the NOVEL.
But alas for some there was Ambiguity in regards to WHO is Walter, but Ridley Scott had indicated it was David... if it was Walter then we have to ask HOW did he Forget about the Cabin on the Lake and WHY would he Speak a Few Times with Davids Voice? It makes NO sense for Walter to Impersonate David.
HOWEVER......... i have discovered maybe a FLAW or NOT!
Having watched the Last Scenes of David and Walter, it seems CLEAR that Walter has NO SCAR until after the FIGHT and so when he rescues Daniels from David we see he has NO SCAR and so IF we see that David has a recollection of Walter prior to when the Fight Started...
He would notice that Walter as NO SCAR this means that NONE of the Covenant Crew had seen Walter with a SCAR and so there would be NO real reason WHY our David would have to Replicate the SCAR.
It could be that he has a FUZZY memory of some Events prior and so he felt its BEST to be SAFE and Replicate our Walters actual Appearance and Injuries at the Point that he was INCAPACITATED.
But this Little Detail i missed before does make the DEBATE more Ambiguous again. I think that THINGS can Change and while something is Ambiguous it is OPEN to be Explored either way.
But i still think if we look at the PLOT then the WHOLE premise of Walter being a Doppelganger for David has to be for the Plot Convenience to ALLOW for David to Escape with the Covenant and Charade as Walter.... it was the Plot Device to allow for the Switch-a-roo.
Regarding the LOOKING BACK then this would be David/Walter looking back with Caution/Concerns about IF the Walter/David is really Incapacitated. I think it FITS more with David being Concerned because he had ALREADY thought he had Incapacitated Walter after the JUDAS KISS.
Another reason for Looking Back could be in regards to the Xenomorph that soon Follows.
Hudson wasn't at risk though - he cut himself.
It would depend how my current life was going at the time the choice was presented. I imagine if someone was older and health was failing, it could be an alternative alternative. A younger person might already feel like they will live forever (damn kids) and pass it up.
It might come down to how an individual feels about the reality of mortality. Seems people who would choose hypersleep are really afraid to die.
Vanilla Sky is a great reference and I might even add the Matrix. Living in a dream state sounds enticing as long as it stays that way. As we know from sci fi, glitches and manipulations from those who control the cryo pods could turn an eternal dream into an eternal nightmare in which one may have no way of controlling.
Personally, the answer would be no. I imagine a "customer?" might be given a pitch and even be allowed to observe someone "eternally sleeping." That is all well and good, but it would be tough to tell if one was just watching a programmed event with a corpse inside.
I guess I couldn't trust people to do it right or honestly.
We don't have control over how we enter this world but have some control on how we exit. Gambling with hypersleep would relinquish what little control we had left on when to die.
@Leto don't you think that's David looking back to make sure that Walter isn't following?
That's one reason I think Walter was just incapacitated and not dead.
@S.M
Yeah, but I think dk's point is, it's interesting to see the different ways people react to the synthetics.
Like, on Ripley's mission his presence was unexpected. Nearly 60 years later, in Aliens, Bishops presence was very normal. Then by the time Resurrection rolls around, Autons are outlawed. It's just interesting to do a little comparative analysis on that.
I think the supposed mistake in the scene is that the cut on Bishop's finger is on the wrong side.
AND I think BlackAnt was making an interesting observation that Bishop was in fact able to put humans at risk, because the injury proves that his success in the knife game was not assured.
(In another thread we were having like, a general discussion about the synthetics and that's how the whole topic came up. )
"It is also interesting that the crew was all in for the entertainment and was not bothered when Bishop's identity was revealed."
There's nothing to reveal. They all knew he was a robot. He was originally supposed to be awake on the ship while they slept and handed out towels like a valet after they woke up.
As to the original post - not seeing a mistake. Every machine can develop faults.
@dk
"Someone should do a similar topic about Call."
Oh yeah, that would be interesting! I need to go back and rewatch Resurrection first. (This is my last week of summer vacation and I'm trying to rewatch all my favorite Alien movies)
Interesting points @BigDave .
Regarding the Autons, different factions with different agendas could be interesting. They'd make a really good topic for a fic.
"A Radical A.I Pathogen.... does that imply it can be Programed to Cause what kind of Destruction or Rebirth we see?"
I think that the pathogen can be programmed but, as you said, if they're so much more advanced than us, they might consider us like lab monkeys. Or maybe even like, when people boil a lobster. They don't anesthetize it first or anything. It's not because they're trying to cause it pain, it just isn't even a consideration for them.
Or maybe like, when you spray a roach with raid, you don't really worry about it too much. You're not trying to exact retribution exactly. Just trying to eliminate a threat.
I think if I was an Engineer, and I got to Planet 4 and saw what David had done, I think I'd just be like... "Pull the plug on the whole thing."
But yes, it's a good question to wonder whether all the Engineers are on the same page on things. Maybe they have factions amongst themselves with differing view points.
I wish you you all the Best with this Project... Hopefully you do not LOSE you Hard Work this Time ;)
"Autons were more empathetic and compassionate than humans"
Call seemed that way but who knows if she had a Agenda.. it seemed SHE wanted to insure the Destruction of the Xenomorph but who knows if there could be a Twist to that Tail.... But i think that with the Autons if they are Sentient then they like US could have different Factions or maybe they could all be PART of some Greater Good...I certainly think Exploring the Autons would have been Interesting.
Regarding the Destruction of Earth it could be likely a LOT of the Damage could be the Result of Mankind, The Potential Danger to the Earth is something that Mankind has a lot of say in it... we certainly are favorites to Account for our OWN downfall thats for sure.
"Either the Engineers have designed the Black Goo for its practicality in destroying and creating life"
I think this is the IMPORTANT thing and its something that has likely Changed since the Inception of the Idea (Scarabs) it now has become something more of a McGuffin now we have to ACCEPT that the stuff the Sacrificial Engineer had Consumed and the Contents of the Urns are the SAME THING...
A Radical A.I Pathogen.... does that imply it can be Programed to Cause what kind of Destruction or Rebirth we see? If so then to go and Program it to Perform the same Effect that we see at the START of Prometheus would be the BEST WEAPON to use on a World that you wish to RESET.
You could Assume and Consider that a Ancient Advanced Race would NOT have any Sinister Motives this is a Principle in Theorizing that any ALIEN Civilization that would Visit Earth would surely be Peaceful, and had reached Peace themselves because INNER CONFLICT and not being on the same PAGE is what could HOLD a World/Species back from Galactic Space Travel and Colonization.
But then with a Race that is more Advanced than us, they would maybe Consider us as Insignificant and that they would Value our Life only as much as we Value a Lab Monkey. (which would indicate that some of them would Value our Lives).
I think if we looked at the Extended Sacrificial Scene then those Engineers looked like their Action was more Peaceful for the Greater Good... (But we cant 100% Consider that as Canon because it could be that only a LONE Engineer made it to the Surface).
When we see Planet 4 those Engineers came across as somewhat Benevolent well FAR from a Hostile Species too.
I think Pondering the Relation between Planet 4 and LV-223 Engineers is still Interesting, and also as to WHO wanted us Destroyed... or are ALL the Engineers singing to the same TUNE?
In regards to the OT...
Then it seems likely the Earth is NOT the only World where the Engineers have Seeded, Evolved and Interacted with other Species they have Created/Engineered.
I think its SAFE to assume the Engineers would Visit these Worlds and even Worlds that are inhabited by Engineers and that they would ONLY allow such Worlds to Obtain a Certain Level of Advancement... And so if you look at the more Advanced Civilizations on Earth from 1000 AD to 2000 BC then there is NOT a lot of Advancement.
A lot of Change for Mankind has been the last 500 or so Years, and Especially the Last 150 or so.
I think its Safe to Assume the Engineers would Visit and NOT allow Worlds to become more Advanced than we was say 1000 Years ago.... this way they can Contain us and any THREAT that we could pose.
So in Light of Discovering that beings from ONE of the Worlds the Engineers had Influenced have NOT only been able to Traverse Space... and Discovered their Bio-Weapons Facility... but then as a RESULT of that Species has lead to the Destruction on Planet 4.
Then the Engineers would be WANTING to find which World these Intruders came from and to Completely Eradicate them and wherever they have Gone.
Then the Engineers would have some Serious Questions to be asking themselves?
* Do we up our Game and Frequency we go to Check Out the Worlds we have Visited.. to keep more Regular Checks on these Worlds Advancements?
*Do we Need as Many Worlds that we have and should some be Culled as a Precaution?
*Do we Set-Up more closer Permanent Bases on or Near the Worlds we have Influenced?
*Do we need to PULL the PLUG on all our Creations?
Yes, we can definitely see in Prometheus that many things Dr. Holloway said struck a nerve with David (hence the reason he chose Holloway as his target for the black goo).
We also clearly see that he has an affinity for Dr. Shaw, and we get the impression that he experiences jealousy and resentment when he learns that Shaw's closeness with Holloway has made her a collateral target.
David is clearly an emotional being.
As to conflict between humans and autons... (and I think the whole story arc with the autons, showing that synthetics had the ability and desire to reproduce, was also intended to cement the idea of synthetics as sentient beings.)
I think it would have been humans causing most of the destruction in that case because, as I recall (and I may need to go back and re-watch Resurrection), Autons were more empathetic and compassionate than humans.
"Regarding the Engineers having a Sinister Side i think we cant rule out some of them having a HATRED or even being Fascinated in the Horrors that the Black Goo can Create."
Well, there are two possibilities.
Either the Engineers have designed the Black Goo for its practicality in destroying and creating life and are just indifferent to the horrors it creates, as a sort of side-effect.
Or, yes, perhaps they designed it that way intentionally and they do in fact have a fascination with inflicting suffering.
I suppose I do make a big assumption in thinking scientific advancement and aversion to unnecessary violence would go hand in hand.
The Engineers may be scientifically advanced but not share the same values that we would consider socially advanced.
Oh yes! The group video! I'm still down for that! (Although, Now I kind of wish I'd done it three years ago, before I'd aged by about ten years in that time...)
Hey! We could take some inspiration from all those quarantine videos people have been making! You know, like, the ones where one person throws something off screen and the next person appears to catch it?
We could throw a facehugger around at each other lol.
I think when it comes down to David 8 Models i still think the Intention was to SHOW they can Understand Emotions to better READ a Human and to Mimic some of them as Responses to make them FEEL more Comfortable.
But David from Prometheus seemed a WHOLE Different Kettle of Fish.
A Number of Times you got the Impression that some of the THINGS that was said to and about him had STRUCK a Nerve... it seemed that they had UPSET Him.... So he Definitely could FEEL EMOTION
He also said to Dr Shaw that EVERYONE wants their Parents Dead, which tells us that David knows he has to SERVE his Master/Father but he is NOT too pleased with having to do that and how he is TREATED... which is WHY when Weyland Dies its has he said to Dr Shaw.... he will be FREE...
These are things that a None-Sentient A.I would NOT say, and again seems to indicate that David has Feelings, Desires, Dreams and Ambitions.
With the Alien Covenant Prologue we see more Evidence of this, and also from the David we see in Alien Covenant and so its likely that Weyland had Permitted his Personal David to have more Emotion etc... while the Produced Models would have more Restrictions. But it would seem even these other Davids had more Emotion well how they could Interpret them that become a Complication, that was CHANGED with the Walter Model.
Regarding ALIEN RESURRECTION
I think the Destruction on Earth more likely came about due to Complications from A.I when you have A.I creating its OWN Sub-Creation (Autons) this could be a Sign of the Synthetics becoming Sentient.... and if their OWN creation the AUTONS would also become Sentient and Rebellious then this is a Recipe for Conflict.
And so i had Assumed and it has not changed in my Take on the Situation, that on Earth in the Future within the Franchise we have a Conflict were Mankind, Synthetics and Autons are all Fighting for CONTROL over the Planet.
It could be SHOWN that it was a Result of the Engineers... but i think that depends on HOW would the Engineers go about to Destroy the Earth!
Juggernauts and Black Goo could do the JOB... but i think looking at HOW much more Advanced we are in ALIENS then in Hundreds of Years Time we would surely have Weapons that can Prevent the Juggernauts from doing their JOB in a Effective Way.
This would mean the Engineers would have to DEPLOY some kind of Ships that can DESTROY any Defenses we have so that then they could SEND IN the Bombers with the Chemical Warfare.
Regarding the Engineers having a Sinister Side i think we cant rule out some of them having a HATRED or even being Fascinated in the Horrors that the Black Goo can Create.
Otherwise if it is PURELY to Destroy then the Deacon and Xenomorph are POINTLESS! No Need when you have the BLACK GOO...
So there has to be some other Desire and Fascination with such Horrors to Warrant their Creation..
I suspect the LV-223/Prometheus Engineers in that Context is a ARC that is similar to what we see with David... and so David is in Effect the same as those Prometheus Engineers.
Outstanding. all we need now is a deck of cards :)
VivisectedEngineer I like your idea of a team-building activity. We need to do that group video!
But Perhaps some trust falls in an egg-room too lol
Or just do as Burke suggested- build a fire and sing a couple songs.
I Raptus is right, we need to find a way to get along and disagree respectfully.
...Maybe we need some kind of team building activity or something. Perhaps an escape room! (With an ovomorph in the center of the room for good measure. It's perfectly safe, I assure you... The countdown is on!)
(And, as Bishop has demonstrated, the knife blade game makes another viable option for a game of trust among colleagues.
...Really we could do a whole Alien themed office Olympics here.)
