in this first image ..we see that the hangar open in the direction of the temple ..and that the temple is surrounded by hills ... [img]http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/947/storma.jpg[/img] in this image ..we see the vehicles (same number ) returning from the expedition ..the hangar is opened in their direction ..they have the temple behind them [img]http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1559/stormbe.jpg[/img] and in this last image we see Noomi watching in the direction of the temple ... with the hangar behind her ..note that they are parking the vehicles ... she is outside to pick up a bag ... and that before she is hit by the sand storm [img]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3839/stormc.jpg[/img] so ..1) the sand storm cannot be natural ...it cant pass over the hills and hit with that power ... 2) the storm arrives exactly from the temple direction ...so its generated by something ( an explosion maybe ? ) inside the temple or by the temple itself 3) noomi is not thrown in the hangar but she pass near the ship SO she is pushed by the storm ..not attracted by it even if its strange that she miss the hangar

It does look like a mighty big ship doesn't it. What if it is towing something bigger like the Nostromo did. But instead of a refinery its a greenhouse of sorts that generates all their oxygen and a percentage of their food (a la Sunshine).

@danrald no not yet just the first 6-7 pages it's a big script. He was talking to ME Bio...LOL

...But, we see similar pieces as wreckage during the "derelict crashing" scene at the end of the trailer, which suggest that this ship impacts with the Derelict... So how do Shaw and Vickers get home?

Well I plowed through the script.. and it's radical! Very radical! Anyway that picture of the temple outside of the cargo bay... looks like it is being "hugged" by a Derelict style ship..

still there is that riddle of the Magellan and/or Prometheus .... ( to me is only the Magellan and Prometheus is just the name of the movie even if was said otherwise )

@Biomechanic, Well, I guess finding that the ship is called Megellan, we are essentially using the process of elimination. We have the shadow-19 script and it states that prometheus is a ship that teraforms. Now, we have a temple, and Lindelof stating that Prometheus is a god.. Then we have Ridley Scott saying this is about faith/Gods/"Chariots of the Gods".. so what am I proposing? That Prometheus is a individual or a space craft that gives us the power to teraform.. Lindelof and Ridley have already said "what happens, if we use this power without permission"... And the term "Prometheus" really just states the obvious.. Someone said that the explosion uncovers more stuff for us.. I bet this is the case as well..

Maybe the "Explosion" is the act of terraforming itself. The cloud of dust that approches the Megellan, has all of these little rocks in them.. or "seeds" maybe.. These seeds also look like flies going crazy, or maybe they are alien insects that pollinate the planet. They can also be seen with Shaw is swept away. Anyway these seeds terraform.. It seems highly unlikely that the teraforming is done by an explosion though..

@Biomechanic, I think you are right.. something like that happened, that is why Shaw and Vickers are outside of the craft. They were either trying to get in, to help someone that was inside, or they were inside and they were running away..

MemberOvomorph12/30/2011
my take is they leave in ... 2+2+5/6 they return ( for the night or for some injuried ) ..but they leave someone behind to study better ( red laser scene ) Red laser scene >>>>> BOOOM something happenn ( there are rafe spall and Mohawk in that scene ..both end bad ) the BOOM ( whatever its ) invest the magellan >>>> shaw fly

@Biomechanic, Those nostrils are called "Vaginal Entrances", Giger calls them that. This is why I think Prometheus is that ship.. the ship is alive and being run by Oscar "The Big Head". BTW in addition the 3 vaginal entrances.. the ship also has several "Prongs" that look like they can fit into the vaginal entrances. I counted 2, there could be 3...

I always thought that the film would be called Prometheus because the humans steal the terraforming technology from the SJs or whoever. This is the technology that is eventually used by WY to terraform LV426 etc.

What if the name of the operation is "Prometheus"...thus making the name of the ship "Magellan"...sounds more logical. Just a thought....

".. she is outside to pick up a bag .." There is something about that scene with the storm chasing the crew back to the ship that srtill does not seem right. They are racing back trying to beat the storm with the 'head bag'(I always assumed it was Shaw holding the bag) somehow during the end of the journey, near the entrance to the loading dock the bag somehow falls off/out of Shaw's lap/seat at the slowest part of the journey. Co-incidence that the most valuable relic of the find, an alien species/Engineer that she could only imagine finding a few years ago happens to fall on the moon's surface and could be lost in a storm that is sort of in-your-face.? The only answer might be that Shaw was overwhelmed by the responsibility she had to investigate this Engineer's head....or she was afraid that they were not gods and would cause her to lose faith in what her beliefs. She would then be responsible for the failure of the Prometheus mission. Maybe this is of no importance in the overall movie, but it was a surprising event at a critical time.
