MemberOvomorph01/22/2012My guess is that they are the reps, in their own ship, the magellan, sent by Weylands rival company, yep, Yutani!
They may be instrumental in the birth of the Xeno.
could Weylands company be the good guys in the beginning? Wanting to discover and learn, whereas Yutanis' mercs are there for one thing only, bring back ultimate weapon.

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012I think they're running security for the mission during a time when Weyland doesn't have a weapons division of their own.
See how uncreative I can be? LOL!

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012Well, you never know.
You don't see much of them in the trailer though so there's not much to go on.
It killing me to find out though.
for every possibility that occurs, there's another hundred waiting to spring out at you, lol.
I do love the suspense Ridley has built here. In some respect he is a true genius, lol.

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012I think they use exactly the same spacesuit than the rest of the crew. So they must be in the same team.
If the "Prometheus" mission is a cover mission, but is also a very "big" thing, it´s comprehensible that the firm send some security in _ to protect but also to guarantee that nobody starts to have funny ideas like to try to sell the discoveries to rival firms.

MemberOvomorph01/22/2012nice. a theory thread that isn't retarded. that totally makes sense. though it's possible they might be pmc type running security detail. scott liked exploring how current events might translate to the future. pmc certainly will have a place in the future when warfare possibly becomes totally corporate.
