Space Jockeys, Aliens and Prometheus

Billions of years ago the Space Jockey’s ventured into deep space, optimistically expecting to witness a wealth of intelligent, civilised species amongst the stars. Instead, they discovered a universe almost void of intelligence, with only a few worlds ruled by natural conflict and incestuous propagation.
Using their vast knowledge of genetics the Space Jockey’s created a means of seeding barren worlds with life, that would develop, flourish and evolve into complicated biological life forms, and through both design and evolution that life would develop into a predestined intelligent race.
After millennia of observations, the Space Jockey’s learnt that the chances of a planet siring an intelligent race increased when the life on these worlds had to adapt and evolve to a radically altered environment, ecosystem and food chain caused by a near-extinction event. To trigger such circumstances artificially the Space Jockey’s once again utilised their extensive biological knowledge and manufactured a deadly biological life form, a race of genetically engineered weapons, and the perfect organism.
Designed to propagate using suitable hosts from an alien world’s indigenous population, extrapolating DNA to adapt to environmental conditions during gestation, these deadly biomechanical weapons improved upon their own perfection, eradicating entire and ecosystems.
Billions of years ago primordial Earth was visited by an ancient bio-mechanical race known as the Space Jockey’s, whom artificially seeded life upon the barren planet. The genetic structure of the life was encoded, through the process of selective evolution, to sire an intelligent mammalian, simian race – Humans.
Before leaving the fledgling Earth the Space Jockey’s left behind an artefact intended for the Humans, to guide them to a distant world and the truth regards their origins.
65 million years ago, unhappy that the natural course of evolution on Earth had not sired the predestined intelligent species they had planned, the Space Jockey’s deployed Xenomorph eggs on Earth, subsequently eliminating over three quarters of the indigenous life on the planet. Once all suitable hosts had been exhausted and only the Xenomorph Eggs remained, the Space Jockey’s retrieved the eggs and destroyed all evidence of the Xenomorph infestation. Over the next 65 million years, the indigenous life on Earth adapted and recovered, eventually giving rise to Humans.
2085 - Humans find the hidden artefact and head to the destination shown. Upon arrival they find a vast temple filled with ampules and a large icon in the visage of a human head. They also find the remains of a dead Space Jockey and take its skull along with one of the ampules back to their ship for study.
Studying the skull they find it to be very, very old (billions/millions of years) and studying the contents of the ampules they find it contains the genetic building blocks capable of creating life.
Realising the potential of the contents within the urns the "suits" of the crew decide to keep it for their own gain, with predictably distastrous results.
Meanwhile, alerted to the fact that the humans have stolen one of the ampules a Space Jockey pilot is awoken from a long sleep to stop the humans. Unaware of the effects of centuries/millenia of neglect to its ship and cargo of xenomorphs, the Space Jockey heads to LV-426 not aware of the fact that the measures put in place to protect it from its deadly cargo have failed/are failing.
Entering the atmosphere of LV-426 the Derelict is attacked by the humans causing it to crash and unsettles the eggs, one of which in turn hatches. The hatched Facehugger heads towards the pilot, triggering an alarm and alerting the pilot to his negletive error. realising he has mere seconds left before the inevitable happens the pilot records a beacon message, warning any and all intelligent life away from the deadly cargo the ship carries. 12 seconds later the message is cut short as the facehugger attacks the pilot. The 12 second signal is then automatically repeated from that point on.
