another thought...the jockey's stole tech from an even greater species and head to that planet with bad intentions and maybe get intercepted by the other species. maybe the two have a long standing feud with the other species. maybe jockey's wana wipe out the "beautiful" humans created by the other species as a eff you kinda deal or wana wipe us out because maybe originally we we're created by the more godly aliens for some purpose to work against the jockey's...so the jockey's created the xenomorph to effectively exterminate us? or what if the more godly aliens punish the jockey's by some how transforming them into the xenos? there are some close similarities in body shapes and markings on their bodies..but this could be like how its explained by ridley that someone gets punished like the greek prometheus does. haha...theres so many options.

I said that earlier in my reply to Humans created specifically to be later bred with the Aliens. Although I have to keep to myself something that I suspect about that situation, it's just a bit too controversial.

I went back and seen your remark. That is an interesting theory. The way the SJ is sitting and the posture it is in makes it seem like it was something that happened spontaneously and unnanounced. In the Alien movies it seems that when the facehugger attacks it leaves the victims with some kind of memory loss as they dont remember what happened. In the theory you describe where the SJ was female and impregnated voluntarily or involuntarily you would think the SJ would know what was about to happen. If that was the case I would think the last thing the SJ would be doing is piloting an important ship with dangerous cargo aboard on somewhat of a meaningful mission?

So everyone has this now?

Why does there seem to be so much assumption that the craft in the trailer is the derelict? There is no reason to think this. It might make a 'cute' tie-in but I sincerely doubt it is. Then it would be a prequel 'proper' and there's no reason to think that this movie has to describe how the derelict ends up there. For one I think that the derelict has been on LV-426 for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years.

A gentleman called Space Jockey created those blue prints. Here is his official blog page: [url=http://www.hydride-ion.com/]http://www.hydride-ion.com/[/url]

yeah, the one that comes in the vault book is an odd size. They don't really make frames to fit it perfectly. Buying from the guy there may be better...

i follow :)

Typing the next part as we speak, time for an increase in pace...

Time to step up the pace just a little bit, and add a reveal or two... Back in their cell one of masked, armed soldiers looks through the glass panel and switches off the lights of the cell, all the time looking at Ripley 8, lying on the lower bunk of one of the bunk beds. The lights out Ripley 8 breaths a sigh, a sigh of anguish, and closes her eyes. Dream Sequence Ripley 8 wakes to a gentle drizzle of rain falling on her face. Opening her eyes and leaning her head to the right Ripley sees she is lying on a bed of black stone and rock. Rising to her feet Ripley 8 wipes the rain from her face and looks at the small incline, small mound in front of her, obstructing her view of the horizon. Reaching the peak of the mound Ripley 8 looks towards the horizon in horror. Scattered throughout the dark, primordial landscape are large egg-shaped structures constructed of organic matter, scurrying over and among them the tell-tale silhouettes of Aliens, a few here, a few there. Stepping down from the mound Ripley 8 walks towards and among the large egg-shaped hives, Aliens watching her from atop and from within the tunnels leading into the hives. Walking tentatively forward, aware of the Aliens watching her, Ripley 8 walks towards and into a hive larger than the rest. Stepping through the mist and musk filled organic tunnels of the Hive, ever watched by the Aliens Ripley 8 gradually makes her way into the Hive’s nursery. Scattered on the ground are spent eggs and dead Facehuggers. Ripley 8, anxious and breathing rapidly turns round and sees the bowed head of a cocooned victim, their hair matted in slime. Fearful Ripley 8 raises the head of the victim, revealing Call. Calls eyes dart open, raspy breathed and in pain she pleads to Ripley 8 “Kill me!” Ripley 8 wakes from her nightmare with surprising calmness as the door to the cell is opened, awaking the crew of the Betty. A masked, armed soldier stands in the doorway gesturing them all out. Taking their cue Ripley 8, Call, Vriess and Johner are led to a large room, a gym, filled with exercise and sports equipment. Johner, no stranger to being a prisoner heads straight for a treadmill “Hey Vriess, want to go for a jog?” Johner laughs. “Fuck…you Johner” Replies Vriess, giving Johner the finger. Call, rising to Vriess' defense, “Johner, do you ever tire of being an asshole?” “The family toaster defending the cripple.” Johner retorts. Call sighs and looks over at Ripley 8, staring up at a security camera watching them. On the other end of the camera the Doctor and the Major watch the group, and especially Ripley 8 with interest. The Major, puffing on another cigar, asks the Doctor “How is she progressing Doctor?” The Doctor replies, “According to our scans, as expected.” “Is she aware, does she know?” The Major enquires exhaling smoke from his lungs. “If not, she will be very soon. But I suspect she may already have an inclination.” The Doctor theorises. Realisation dawns upon the Major, “The longcoat she refuses to remove?” “Indeed.” The Doctor agrees, “Indeed.” Back in the gym Johner picks up a basketball, “Hey Ripley, fancy a rematch. I’ll go easy on you this time.” Ripley 8 partly snaps out of her chance long enough to flash Johner a tentative smile. Johner hangs his shoulders, “You lot are no fun.” Johner, turns, basketball in hand, towards one of the masked, armed soldiers and throws the ball. The soldier, in a flash, drops his gun, hanging it from the strap over their shoulder and catches the ball perfectly. Johner cocks his head in bemusement. The soldier then throws the ball back to Johner so fast, and so forceful it knocks Johner onto the floor. Vriess and Call laugh at Johners misfortune, as Johner gets up clearly annoyed. Johner paces towards the soldier that felled him, “You want a piece of me?” The soldier stands firm, unflinching. Johner makes to walk away, but turns back swinging a punch at the soldier. The soldier without hesitation grabs Johners fist and and twists the wrist, forcing Johner to his knees. Johner in his surprise, “Son of a bitch!” The soldier releases Johners hand, letting him rise to his feet. Johner turns his wrist back and forth flinching in pain before punching the soldier in the face with his free hand, knocking off the soldier’s mask. The soldier turns back to face Johner, their freakish face grey in colour and devoid of skin, white arterial tubes pumping and pulsating white fluid to its facial muscles. Johner instantly realising the soldier as a synthetic breathes in surprise, “What the fuck?” The door to the gym opens, breaking up the moment, revealing the Major. “When you have finished aggravating my team of soldiers, I have something to show you.” Johner leading the way is followed by Ripley 8, Call and then Vriess, as the synthetic soldier puts its mask back in place.

Just One little comment; I like the idea of a Dream Sequence in which Ripley8 sees something that is not possible...I like it a lot, because dreams often do this, present things in an illogical format that we have to sort out afterwards for ourselves and what the hidden meaning is for us in our own lives. I thought that part of this section was Brilliant "Snorky"... There is a some kind of hidden meaning in Ripley8's dream there, because we all know Call is an Android and therefore No gestating can occur inside of her. Therefore there has to be more to that dream's meaning than meets the readers eyes and I absolutely Love that idea...There is something deeply symbolic in Ripley 8's dream that I am still thinking and wondering about... Very Cool Man !!! Very Cool Indeed!!!

Another installment to entertain you all... Back in the observation room Ripley 8 watches the Queen Alien with pity in her eyes. Call, Vriess and Johner watch her intently, silently concerned. The Doctor intersects, “She is in perfect health I can assure you, her upper body is frozen to prevent her from escaping and killing the crew of this station.” Call, recalling her experiences aboard the Auriga, “We know full well how dangerous them things are when they get loose.” The Doctor looks over his shoulder to receive permission from the Major before gesturing to one of the synthetic soldiers, “Ah, but do you know how beneficial they are when they are in captivity?” The synthetic soldier appears dragging a piece of apparatus next to the Doctor. The apparatus is a metal S shaped instrument suspended from a railtrack on the ceiling of the room, connected to the S shaped instrument are binds and grips seemingly to hold a human in place. Another synthetic soldier hands the Doctor a wide glass jar. The Doctor twists off the lid of the jar and scoops his hand into the viscous, slimy substance and gestures towards the group, “Do you know what this is?” Ripley 8 glances over to the Queens ovipositor producing another egg, the same slimy substance drooling from the ovipositor and the egg. The Doctor in confirmation, “Yes, it is a natural lubricant generated by the Queen during the process of egg-laying. We call it Royal Jelly.” Johner, keen to point out the lame naming convention, sarcastically “Cool name.” “Maybe not,” the Doctor picks up on Johners tone, “but the name is unimportant. Its properties however are astounding.” The doctor reveals twisting the lid back onto the jar and cleaning his hands with a handtowel. The Major, having been stood at the top of the steps to research room descends down and interrupts the Doctor before he has chance to continue, “Instead of explaining the benefits of this ‘Royal Jelly’, I think a demonstration would be more enlightening.” The Major signals to his small team of synthetic soldiers, two of which raise their guns towards the group as two more drag Vriess out of his wheelchair. Johner, showing rare but true compassion for his friend shouts “Put him down you assholes.” “Now, now,” The Major replies “Your friend will come to no real harm I assure you.” The two synthetic soldiers holding Vriess lift and secure him into the S shaped instrument, Binding his head, shoulders, wrists, torso and waist securely and tightly. Despite the groups, and especially Vriess’ objections the Doctor turns towards a nearby panel and flips open a plastic cover to a red plunger, before pressing firmly down on the plunger. In between Vriess’ back and the S shaped apparatus a series of needles stab into Vriess’ back, one after the other. Each needle followed by the depression of a plunger on the outside of the S shaped contraption. Vriess screams in agony, urging the rest of group to his aid but they are held firmly back by a group of synthetic soldiers. Vriess’ scream grows louder and more agonizing until the last plunger is depressed, at which point Vriess passes out from the pain. Call, horrified screams, “What have you bastards done to him? Get him down now!” “As you wish.” The Major steps forward and violently slaps Vriess across the face. Jolted awake Vriess breathes rapidly, confused. The Doctor pulls a lever on his panel, retracting the all of needles from Vriess’ spine simultaneously. Vriess flinches in reaction to the sharp pain. The two synthetic soldiers that placed Vriess into the apparatus unbind and then pull him down, resting Vriess’ feet on the ground while still supporting his weight. Calls anger building, “Put him down…NOW!” Gesturing towards the wheelchair. The Major ignores her gesture, “Of course.” He signals the two synthetic soldiers, who release Vriess where he stands. Call and Johner rush forward to catch Vriess before he falls to the ground, but as they near him they realise that Vriess is standing of his own accord, supporting his own weight. Ripley 8, astonished and amazed, “That’s impossible, how…” Her sentence trails off, unfinished. The Doctor, glad to explain, “The substance is used by the lower castes of the creatures order as a medicine, instantly healing wounds and scars.” He adjusts his glasses, “We have injected this substance into cancerous cells, and it eradicates them instantly. It can make blind eyes see again, heal a cripple.” he gestures as Vriess takes his first steps in many, many years, “This substance alone is worth millions, worth keeping this species alive for. Imagine the benefits to mankind.” The Doctor declares. Ripley 8, gesturing towards the Queen behind them, “And what of the creature itself? What are your plans for them?” The Majors turn to sell, “Their unique biology can give us lightweight and durable armour, their senses can help develop new communication technologies, but most of the creature itself will be harnessed and trained as the perfect biological weapon.” Ripley 8 scowls at the Major, “I knew it.” The Major sighs in impatience, “You will come to learn, in time, that your ‘return’ was for the benefit of all.” The Major signals the synthetic soldiers to take the group away, but as they begin to leave he adds, “Let them go where they please, within reason and under escort.” And then to the group directly, “You are guests, not prisoners.” Walking through the corridors Ripley 8 heads straight for the cell, the others pause and Call enquires after her, “Ripley?” Ripley 8 continues onward, Johner placing a hand on Calls shoulder in a rare moment of compassion, “Leave her.” He then gestures towards Vriess who is jumping up and down on his new found legs. Johner and Call laugh at their friend. Ripley 8 returns to the cell and closes the door behind her, two synthetic soldiers guarding her from outside. She reaches under her pillow and pulls out the old computer panel she hid there. Flicking a switch repeatedly she soon becomes aware the device has no power. Turning it over she examines a cover for the battery screwed tightly in place. Ripley 8 looks around for something to manipulate the screws and then stops. She raises one of her hands and looks at her nails, shining metallically in the low light. Gently tapping her nails against the metal post of the bunk beds she listens carefully to the “Ting, Ting” of metal striking metal. Bemused at her discovery Ripley 8 places the old panel on her bed and gently rubs one of her nails, feeling the undeniably texture of metal. Raising her head as she continues to rub one of her fingernails she ponders the possibilities, before looking back down at her finger. Intrigued and horrified she notices a thick layer of skin removed from her finger from her rubbing action, slimy drools signifying where the skin had once laid, and underneath a hard, dark new skin. Pulling the skin from her hand slowly at first, but with increasing haste, Ripley 8’s hidden fears that have plagued her for 15 years are finally realised. All the skin removed she looks at her hand, but instead of seeing the fleshy, light coloured hand of a human she sees the dark, biomechanical hand of an Alien.

"fab-u-lous" spoken like Eddy Murphy playing some female character I forget which! He Walks ! Awesome!

Time to take a break, will add this and hopefully get to the climax of this tomorrow. Should give you all a chance to read it and post your comments (looks like Sparky's a fan already). BTW - I also have a more basic concept for a Predators2/Predator4.

Great stuff so far Snorkelbottom. This would have made for a very neat sequel to the existing ALIEN RESURRECTION movie, judging by the description so far, and I'm very keen to see how this pans out eventually.

But this speculative storyline would certainly have made for a decent movie follow-up to ALIEN RESURRECTION Snorkelbottom, and I'm keen to see how it all pans out. If this is your own work, then I'm very impressed with your writing/storytelling skills.

I am blown away by what you wrote "C" and it is the first plausible way I have ever seen or read of negating those 2 films. That said, I really Really like the extended cut of Alien 3. Thought most of it was remarkably better than the theatrical release. I admit I had issues with Resurrection as well, especially it's ending which I hated and that creature which I also hated, but I liked some of the other ideas it contained...some of them were highly original. I also Loved The Betty, just loved that ship. Loved the whole idea of an unregistered ship as well and a crew trying to survive on scraps. For me, and IMO, just to call yourself an ALIEN franchise fan, anyone that is, you have to have been able to find at least one thing to like in all 4 of those films!!!

im following very interested :)

[i]Spartacus said - For me, and IMO, just to call yourself an ALIEN franchise fan, anyone that is, you have to have been able to find at least one thing to like in all 4 of those films!!![/i] Well Spartacus, despite my mis-givings about ALIEN 3 and ALIEN RESURRECTION (in either of their cuts), there *are* a few things I definately do like about these 2 movies...especially Sigourney's performances. However, I'd like to see them in a very different context in future...so I've decided to give you a little sneak preview about something I've been working on recently, that I hope to organise at some point this year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA ...and a similar request will be sent to certain 'fan-editors' at the same time concerning my proposal for an ALIEN RESURRECTION cut where the 'actual' Ripley survives that movie too... But I'm very interested in how Snorkelbottom's 'Ripley 8' gets on in his story, lol!

[i]Spartacus said - For me, and IMO, just to call yourself an ALIEN franchise fan, anyone that is, you have to have been able to find at least one thing to like in all 4 of those films!!![/i] Well Spartacus, despite my mis-givings to do with ALIEN 3 and ALIEN RESURRECTION (no matter which cut), there's certainly still one or two things I *do* really like in these 2 movies,...especially Sigourney's ever-watchable performances. It's just that I'd rather watch these particular movies in a very different context in future, so that I can like them a little better...which is why I've been trying to do something about it recently. So I've decided to let you have a sneak preview of what I'm hoping to organise later this year - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTBYbhECyGA[/url] And I'll be contacting certain 'fan-editor's with a similar request concerning an alternative ALIEN RESURRECTION cut I've got in mind too...which would again show the 'actual' Ripley surviving the movie... But in the meantime, I'm certainly interested to find out what happens to Snorkelbottom's 'Ripley 8' character here... :)

I'll do it "C" ! ME ! I can do it! I loved that by the way !

Well here I have been lurking in the shadows since my horrific failure of a discovery in my Alien novel, just waiting for something to invoke me into logging in and saying something. And while there has been much that has tugged at me to jump in and say something (mostly upset and dissaproval, which I have succesfully stoped my self from doing), this here has made me absolutely have to jump into the converstion. Snork.... I have to do this... I am so sorry... ok, no I am not lol.... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY 100% BRILLIANT! OMG man, this would make an amazing movie. WOW WOW WOW, this just could (if it was done) single handedly save the franchise. Why you are sharing it here and not getting the copyright and sending it to the studios is beyond me. I just hope you do go forward with this in one way or another. Keep up the good work! I am looking forward to your next installment!

If you're a technically adept 'fan-editor' Spartacus...then I'd certainly be interested in taking things further with you on this project. But there's a few important things that I require for this project, before I proceed further with anyone - 1. Although I'd be very pleased if an NTSC DVD version could be done eventually, I'm U.K.-based and was intending approaching certain 'fan-editor's who are capable of cutting a PAL version for this initially. Because the timings between the 2 formats are different, I need someone who can cut the PAL region discs because I need to be able to e-mail EXACT timings/details of my various alterations to whoever I end up collaborating with...or things will get too complicated and awkward to relay properly. What I'm really hoping for though, is someone who has the ability to re-cut a BLU-RAY version of this, ideally. 2. I need someone who is capable of doing good clean cuts, and also able to keep the original 5.1 sound too. There is nothing in my 'cut-list' that will cause any jarring match-ups when it comes to the altered shots or the soundtrack, or I wouldn't be bothering to do this...so everything should be reasonably straightforward for whoever follows my details. Ideally, it would be good if they are capable of doing some very simple colour tweaking to part of the intro. for me too, but if not, that's okay. 3. As this will take up a fair bit of my time to relay over various e-mails, I need someone with patience who is willing to agree to do the EXACT cuts I ask for during the process, without changing things. I'm in no particular hurry, and I realise it will take someone as long as it takes to do this in their spare time. So let me know how much of these criteria you fit Spartacus, and we'll take it from there. No worries if you think it's beyond you, as there's others that may possibly be able to tackle this eventually.

I like the Jam Player and I particularly liked the "NEST" soundtrack! Thought it recreates that type of atmosphere very very well.

By the way, you won't have to wait much longer because there are only... [b]152 Days, 8 Hours, 7 Minutes and 37 seconds Until The 9 Pm Showing {E.S.T.}} Premiere.[/b] It Should be declared one {A masterpiece} right around 8 Months and 3 weeks after that! Sometime in late February of 2013 @ "The Oscars".

Where will the premiere of the movie? I think the "Prometheus" would be a Big Hit! The song "Nest" is very mysterious, as I close my eyes I see a nest Aliens :O. Thank you for rating.

At Prometheus community member "Frantz's" House !!! For some reason he gets to see it before everyone else, I think he is in England somewhere {could be mistaken} but that where ever it is in fact that he is, the film I think he said comes out a few days - 1 week before everywhere else on Earth right there. June 8th, 2012 is the Official date for me here in Montreal, Canada and the rest of North America I believe which makes my time count accurate for me. Hopefully Frantz won't come on the site the next day and tell us all anything less than... ..."It was in fact a 'Masterpiece.'"

even if ive saw alien 100 times and more i will have no pity reviewing it ...

and we would have it no other way Frantz, you're a "straight shooter" and everyone knows that here I am sure, I am personally just hopeful you do not come back at us with anything less than a favorable review...'cause if it doesn't "sell" YOU it more than likely isn't going to "sell" any of the rest of us either.

I agree, Frantz....but to be fair, it's also a tall order. Everyone is now familiar with what seemed very novel, and....uh, [i]alien[/i] back in 1979. Additionally, how does[i] anyone[/i] top the "kitchen scene" for psychosexual shock-value? In other films, we've covered a lot of sci-fi "creature-effects" ground over the last three intervening decades, and IMO, "Alien" was a case of lightning in a bottle. I think it would be unrealistic to expect an exactly equivalent experience; at least for those of us of a certain age.

You have a talent! Bravo!

Man that looks like I need to put on my 3d Glasses to see it right, Super job Neurion, It looks... well... forgive the pun... ...like it was done by a "Neurion Surgeon" !!! LOL.

Ruhaniya › I was just watching Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and saw the scene where we see that Jesus Mentos Poster you posted. I did not know it was from that film and I only noticed it now, my 2nd time seeing that film. Funny Stuff !!! By the way, How is your [u][i][b]INTESTINE[/b][/i][/u], did they give you some shit/morphine/aspirin/ice cream/medical Mary Jane or any other sweets to help take away the discomfort and pain?

[quote]How many specimen containers are there in Ashes Med Lab?[/quote] I'm still trying to figure this one out!!!

Yo Sparts, they gave me no pain relief! So later, I gave myself my own prescription of 2 Tylenol 3's with codine, 1/2 a bottle of Loose Goose and 8 hits from the Maxi Toke. I don't know if they make fistulas for intestines. So dumb me! Sausages YES! This one is in my arm. It is just the start of becoming a cyborg. I think there are 6 containers. 5 on the right next to his video console in the med lab and 1 on the left x that by three intertwined dimensions= 666. Yes, Now grasshopper go forth with this pearl of wisdom and consume all the grass you can find. Oh sweet nectar of the Queen

Nicely put Spartacus...me and my friend were just saying that the other day... Age doesn't equate to wisdom... On another note, will there be a date for a new trailer released soon??? I just can't get enough of Prometheus...
