Eggs and Urns in Prometheus

The space they are in has the official name..."Ampule Room" At first glance it looks like it is an exposed to space area, but in fact it is a supposed sealed chamber/room. That dead thing on the right could be a dead Grower/Jockey or Guardian slave Alien of some sort Killed by the Prometheus crew in order for them to survive and/or to explore/access that chamber more than likely. It's all lined up with the supposed leaked plot outline they/FOX said was "considerably off" In which Theron's character does in fact turn out to be the 2nd android.

I believe that it will be her as the android as well or we both could be fooled at this point. At this point, we are going to see the gears turn in the next few days to weeks as it will take full steam now...it is like waiting for them to press the button to launch it...

Here is the applicable passage from that synopsis... The crew sets about attempting to repair the Prometheus, while Elizabeth Shaw leads a recon expedition to investigate nearby structures, which turn out to be a cavernous Engineer temple. Inside the temple, Shaw’s team encounters a bizarre BIO-BRAIN, a biomechanical humanoid face set within a towering pillar, as well as thousands of seemingly primitive URNS. David takes several of the urns back to the vessel for analysis. Investigating the urns, David discovers that they contain the genetic material for thousands of species within a viscous liquid called BIOFORMER which can rewrite any living organism on a cellular level. Basically, possession of the substance gives its owner the power to create life. Vickers interacts with David and seemingly innocently leads to the Bioformer infecting David through a cut in his finger. Within the depths of the Temple, we find several living Engineers who discover the transgression of the Humans, and remotely rewrite the stolen Bioformer to make it into a weapon. The Engineers capture Holloway and run a number of horrific experiments on him, injecting him with the Bioformer and allowing him to return to the vessel.

looks to me as if it could turn out that all life as we know it was created this way and that this is the "discovery about the origins of Human Life" Ripley was referring to in his short but already released plot outline..

In that High res photo, that might be the creatures head they are looking at also, the body has no arms...was he a sacrifice or punished for stealing?

it's difficult to tell from the angle of the body. But I agree that it must be the head in the front. wait wait wait, no it isn't...check this out. Hit the "NEWS" link at the top of the page. Now call up the high rez shot of the Ampule Room from here and look at the inlay on the bottom right NOW. That's the body of a grower{Engineer} or a Bio Suite as you suggested I believe with it's head potentially cut off laying feet/legs in the fore front...we can't really tell if the head is up there or not...the rest of the body is cutting off our view. You can see it way way clearer here on this High Rez shot.

or a biomechanical suit that is empty, the head being the helmet and the body the suit, I see no arms on the body....

re read my comment above I edited it News page 2nd link in the middle look at the high res pic of the Ampule Room there!!!!

yeah..I saw it, I def agree that it is head...just placed in way we can't see his features....

Feet and legs in front I do see part of an arm coming off the body in the far left bottom corner of the inlay. The head at the top is not visible at all to me. That's 99.9999% a dead "engineer" {grower} with his head more than likely still attached, we just cannot see it from that angle.

True...hard to tell with this pic, we know something is there but what and I am leaning to the idea that might be an egg as well...what kind of Egg, dunno but perhaps this how one of the two women get infect or they bring it back to the ship....as well as one of the urns and thus begins the most haunting film that will make me hide my face in my girls lap...

Investigating the urns, David discovers that they contain the genetic material for thousands of species within a viscous liquid called BIOFORMER which can rewrite any living organism on a cellular level. The eggs and the Urns appear to be one and the same.

here is the opposite view of the promo pic but in low res, if you can find a better pic, we might be able to see more or get a clear idea: [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9086/29861525722312432513411.jpg[/img]

Love it first time seeing it from that angle

that is from the comic con promo ..there arent more polished versions i think ...

I think the object that the 2 females are shining their torches on is the TOP HALF of the 'Spacejockey's' head which is facing towards us. [i]I've arrowed the 'shadowed' eyesockets in the link below for a better idea of what I mean, and the eyesockets on the giant head behind it are 'shadowed' in the same way -[/i] http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/8918/ewprompics1.jpg
