REALLY great find!! I agree, yeah, and I hope R. Scott is made aware of this Artist!!
Hi, welcome to our community :) Hope you have a great experience. Btw, great choices! Those are some awesome books with a wealth of info, much needed companions for these films.
Makes for an interesting 'new yet familiar' creature direction.
Nice work, I must say!
The Proof-Edit of ALIEN: Manticore is already over 1/10th of the way done, and proceeding smoothly.
ALIEN: LV-426 (Full-length Novel)
Is also coming along nicely, and while it's still just getting started, I'll post a small excerpt, possibly tonight, but very soon in any case.
ALIEN: Manticore 'Paradise' (Full-length Novel)
Is being structurally-edited before I continue with story-building, but is also coming along nicely.
ALIEN: Origins (Short story)
I now have the missing pieces I needed with which to continue it with, so I will be picking work on that back up immediately.
YES, I most often work on multiple works simultaneously.
I find that in doing so it prevents me from getting 'bogged down', as from switching between the various works it keeps the mind agile and working instead of 'settling' or feeling 'bored'. :D
Very much!! Visited and bookmarked his site. :)
Blackwinter-witch - Very glad you like them.
Awesome stuff and TY for posting it and the link!
I does look a little bit like the Newborn from A:R
Thank-you very much for you wonderful words and thoughts!
However, ALIEN: Manticore and all my ALIEN-related works are fan-fiction, so I won't make a dime from them, unless FOX offers me some kind of deal.
Who knows what the future will bring? We'll see what we see when we see it. :)
That said, these works of mine are a labor of love.
I love the ALIENverse and I feel it's pretty obvious I have a deep appreciation and respect for my fellow fans of the ALIENverse.
That's why I wrote it, and why I am steadily gaining-ground with the additional ALIENverse works.
For The Fans.
This is my way of showing the fanbase my appreciation and respect of them. :)
Since this thread is no longer available and Facehuggers has sadly left sci-fied, I'm locking it.
OH yes yes yes!!!!
Lawrence of Arabia -- Look at this chart.

Ingeniero - There are people who have the book in their hands now. :)
Ingeniero - I liked the space scenes in that movie when I was young. :)
Such talent. Thank you again Ati.
Dr. Shaw kind of reminds me of Dr. Zachary Smith from Lost in Space.
Amazon preorder reads "released on September 26"...so I will contribute heavily to important things in my life now that I plan on neglecting 5 days from now.
Do you have any essays on file in regards to the origin of the Engineer suit josephmerry?
Is it mutated skin, a whole body mutation, or a blue-cheese-colored mutagen-based lotion applied to clean Engineer skin?
Ah, I get it :) Hopefully they release a more up-to-date tome soon.
Ingeniero - :D
True! Very interesting upper body! :D
Ingeniero - It is out now. :)
Lawrence of Arabia - True! The problem is what Ingeniero mentioned plus the thing you write - it collects the info from the movies and sources but contradictions can't be explained by it. As an example, it can't answer the mystery around the LV moons, zeta-reticuli, etc.
But it is useful and very OK! :)
Thank you again Ati....I really need the prequel novel right now.
Awesome ribbing...thank you for sharing Ati.
Ati If you don't mind my asking :P What isn't canon in the Weyland-Yutani Report? Doesn't it pretty much state what's in the films?
Ingeniero Thank you :) Considering picking it up, love getting all the info!
Ati What source is that? :0
CALL: Help me. If there's anything human in you at all, help me stop them before this thing gets loose.
Lawrence of Arabia and Ingeniero - The W-Y Report contains several useful pieces of info but according to a source it is not canon anymore.
You're most welcome NonsenseBody. Thank you for the topic.
I recommend the Weyland-Yutani Report Lawrence of Arabia. There are some errors with dates and details but not many. What I like about the report is the amount of small excerpts that help stitch together the backstory. It is all pretty good but the sections on the Prometheus mission and Fiorina 161 are some of my favorites. And it has a great timeline.
Also, a lot of the intelligence images shown comes from helmet feeds and event reports written by characters such as Michael Bishop...so it has a bit of a corporate-view feel to it.
Ingeniero - Yes, I did. I compared the images of this microguy and the rejected watermonster in a topic. This field microguy was part of the Alien Covenant marketing. I highlighted that the two monsters look similar so I jumped to the conclusion that Hallett is working on the sequel at the moment.
More short films related to the Alien universe brought on by a competition of ideas from a group of skilled filmmakers...that is wonderful. I'm ready to be spoiled by this.
Is the Weyland-Yutani Report worth it? It looks like a great tome of Alien goodness.
Thank you NonsenseBody.
Here below is an excerpt from the Weyland-Yutani Report, page 59, regarding the translation.
You're a great sceptic ali81...much needed with some of the far out connections I try to make. I strongly agree with what you said above in regards to the Engineers. One mystery (xenomorph origin) has been replaced with another mystery (Engineers' origin).
I believe that the prequel novel will cover the Engineers much further than we have seen on screen and in the Alien: Covenant novelization.
This below is an excellent aspect you describe drucea:
"If they are just clones or grown to have certain traits, maybe elders from the Prometheus opening would develop perfect, "clean" individuals to seed worlds, but developed the ones with the biosuit/skin to handle the task of destroying worlds or delivering the payload of goo that would wipe the slate clean."
That is a very reasonable evaluation of what we have seen.
Why would they seed a world with a mutated Engineer and have such a ceremony? Start clean, natural specimen...then digest him with a special mutagen that dissolves his body into the environment.
Yes, the LV-223 Engineer may have missed the memo and was ready to roll forward with melting a planet beginning with the elderly human asking for more time.
Call - What?
Ripley - It's in my head. Behind my eyes. I can hear it moving.
