Ghost Solitare
MemberOvomorph01/21/2012I find myself wondering why the SJ's left their calling card on Earth. If the site had been accessed by a group of vandals, it may never have benefitted mankind at all. If as in 2001 the digsite had been on the moon, it would have resolved two issues. First those who excavated it would be of sufficient technological prowess to fathom it's mysteries. Secondly, it would have been safe from both any seismic catastrophic events, or intrusion by potential (for lack of a better word) tomb robbers. Putting those questions aside I then wonder exactly what sort of vault, or chamber they will find. The sort of preservation protocols they fashioned to maintain the integrity of the contents. Like the rest of you I'm sure the film will both answer and raise even more questions. Part of what made Alien a classic film was the huge unanswered void it left as the credits rolled. I can only hope that RS adds to the franchise with even more intrigues. Just to Clarify, I know the expediton is going to Zeta Ret. I also know that they find the digsite in North Africa, or at least on a terrestrial location. I am just saying from a scientific approach as a species that wants my progeny to one day find me that I would have left the callling card, star map on Earth's satellite.

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012I think you need to go get laid Spartacus....your tension, anxiety and self rightousness on all things Prometheus is palpable!

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012@Ghost Solitaire: Do you have exclusive access to the official "Prometheus" script such that you know that the movie has the SJs leaving a calling card on earth?
@Spartacus: I think with the Engineers and their biomechanical abilities, anything is possible, even a helmet that looks like a head.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph01/23/2012Maybe I should confess I was a bit out of it had been going at these boards all night or most of it anyways and when I read what The High Priest wrote I took i t all as good sound and honest although difficult to swallow advice and did as he suggested.

Aliens
Universe : Independence Day
Homeworld : Unknown
Habitat : Earth-like
Size : Shorter than Humans (natural)
~8 feet tall (in biosuit)
Diet : Unknown
Language : Telepathic
Sapience Level : Sapient
Subspecies : Unknown
Physically, they are no more durable than a Human, but they do possess far superior technology, including enormous fleets of ships; defense fields to prevent missiles from reaching their ships' hulls; highly destructive weaponry and protective biomechanical suits.
The aliens have a slender, quasi-humanoid body with three-jointed limbs and only two digits on their hands and feet. Their head is enlarged. They have large, pupil-less eyes (or eye-like organs) and a number of long, grasping tentacles protruding from their suits' backs. Lacking both ears and vocal chords, they communicate using a sophisticated form of telepathy. They are also able to control other beings, at least partially, by attaching tentacles to their necks. They apparently do this in order to communicate with non-telepathic species.
They travel around the galaxy in a single, massive Mothership that is around 550km in diameter. This ship can deploy numerous smaller, city-sized spacecraft. When invading an inhabited planet, the aliens' military tactics consist of large-scale attacks, destroying the major cities around the globe simultaneously and then heading to the next largest, presumably going on until there is nothing left. This species breathes oxygen and requires similar environmental conditions to humans, which is the reason why they got interested on Earth in first place. Although a single alien ship crashed on Roswell in 1947, the real invasion only started in 1996. At the end, the aliens were defeated and possibly driven to extinction thanks to the creation of a computer virus which temporarily removed the alien ships' shields, followed by a devastating nuclear attack on their orbiting mothership.

I don't know about him, but I [i]do[/i] have doubts that what we see in the trailer is, in fact, the "derelict" crashing on LV426.
