Magellan?

My take on what Frantz said is this... There is more than one ship, may be many more... One of them is 100% NOT Human !!! The one sent by the "Engineers" on a coarse for EARTH with a boatload of Ampules on it all programed for Xenomorph incantation and which The company will attempt to divert.

Holy crap, I think Snorkelbottom is right!

it comes from big parts of ship that were found outside the filming studios ..one of this parts was named "Magellan mess hall" and was very big remember that they dont show everything in the trailer !! plus we have some hints that there can be another crew 1- the mutant with a long beard and slighlty different uniform 2- the "cocooned man" 3- the mercenaries sequence however is also possible that the main ship is divided in 2 pieces like the nostromo and the narcissus

Yeah..there are many more mysterious things we are not seeing yet. I am starting to think that the cocooned man was and is there experiment,they have this human and place the Alien in him to see how it works...to see how their new weapon will work with humans...poor guy is the guinea pig....perhaps this crew, the Prometheus is like a pirate ship that follows the Magellan or they stumbled upon the planet prior to the Magellan's arrrival...

Heres a theory... What if the Prometheus is a spacecraft attached to something bigger. Now I don't mean like the Narcissus: [img]http://application.denofgeek.com/images/m/75spaceships/main/Narcissus.jpg[/img] What I mean is this... Here's the refinery: [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kr4dqfDM1H1qa1o5zo1_400.jpg[/img] And detaching from this is the Ship that Dallas an Co. used to land on LV-426: [img]http://blastr.com/assets_c/2011/01/AlienNostromoPropLead-thumb-550x310-56025.jpg[/img] Which has some similarities, design wise, to the ship we see in the Prometheus trailer: [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer13.jpg[/img] Basically, what if the Prometheus is the expedition craft like the one from Alien, that sets down on the planet while the main vessel (possibly the Magellan) remains in orbit. Furthermore, if the "Magellan" is crashed into the Space Jockey ship: [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer29.jpg[/img] Then maybe Vickers is onboard which would explain these...

can be everything ... even that the mess hall is named Magellan in honour of the great traveller .... we have to wait ...

spartacus, you've grown way too attached to that theory. it only works if the humans piss off the space jockeys, which i don't think trampling around in their ampule room would cause such an overreaction...besides, i think that only happens after it crashes.

LMFAO They STEAL some of the AMPULES FROM THE "ENGINEERS" ! BRING THEM ON BOARD THE PROMETHEUS. WOULD YOU NOT BE PISSED OFF IF YOU KNEW SOMEONE STOLE SOMETHING SO VALUABLE FROM YOU...??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? SORRY, I AIN'T LETTING GO OF A THING HERE!!! AS FOR IT ..."ONLY HAPPENS AFTER IT CRASHES". WHAT ONLY HAPPENS ??? I THINK THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS, THE HUMANS PISS OFF THE "ENGINEER'S"...END OF STORY !!!

i think an advanced alien race would have a more sophisticated response to human taking some urns and ampules for study from what they believe to be an abandoned ship. for example, i don't declare war on someone if they took something from me they thought i didn't want. i'd simply ask for it back. in the case of the space jockeys, it's more like how i don't declare war on ants for trying to haul away cookie crumbs on the ground.

I agree, very well said and here is my counter - point ... "Jane You ignorant slut" no no no, I am just kidding and it is fun to take opposite sides or angles of a story and see what we can come up with together...so here is my real reply to what you wrote... You are 100% right, except what we are talking about here is not just some rambling around innocently in some chamber, what we are talking about are Ampules that contain a Viscous liquid which "give the owner power over life of death" and from what we know contain the "genetic codes of thousands of species of Aliens" as well as the ability to convert any one of them "into a weapon". Someone even touches one of my Ampules like these and they are DEAD MEAT WITH NO VOTE IN ENGINEERS CONGRESS NO DEBATE IN THE ENGINEERS SENATE AND NO PASSING GO AND NO COLLECTING 200 DRAKMARS...IT'S JUST FLAT OUT NO QUESTIONS ASKED AND IT IS ALSO IMO BEYOND ANY DOUBT GROUNDS FOR ONE SERIOUS ASS WAR! and especially if done unintentionally! and I can explain that too if need be.

by the way, Snorlebottom ! Unbelievably fantastic work on the pics above !!! extremely thought provoking thread.

Does it really matter? We'll find out June 8th, 2012.

I believe its just one. Somehow the last few scenes of what seems to be the last two surviving members, which are ironically female, gives a sense of entrapment.

@Xenotron if you're not interested in throwing ideas around; why bother posting at all?
