Haven't seen this discussed yet. Lock this if it has. Anybody else see the small crystaline structures sticking out of the top of the ampules? They all look different. Almost like different sized braille?

Looks like rubble to me, think the place is just derelict.

I dunno', those are some pretty expensive 3D cams for a derelict!

I'll post more pics this weekend. I should have the head (and maybe hands) detailed by then.

I'm liking the pics Db. I'll double check to make sure this topic hasn't been discussed.

I looked at the above image in 1080P. It could be dirt and rubble, but it's hard to say. Not all the ampules have it on top which I would expect if it were a mechanism to open the container. There are a few things I find interesting about the ampule room. First is that there appears to be a few different sized urns. This leads me to believe that there is different "stuff" in the urns. The writing on the side of the urns is pretty cool as well. Thay have gone through a lot of trouble adding writing to various arches, walls, and objects in the movie. I wonder if they will be able to translate any of it in the show? I hope it's not there just for asthetics.

I'm just wondering if they're motion sensitive? IE: The tops only react as you get close to them (kinda' like the xeno eggs did). Notice the one's near him or in his path are "reacting(?)" and the one's farther away are flat topped?

Jeffomorph, if you can post a hi-rez pic. of this, please do. Thanks.

Yes, I believe that each Ampule can be pre-programmed for different species generation. This must have something to do with that.

Sorry guys - some stream of consciousness here, but I always begin my speculations from the scenes in Alien. Something kills the SJ, and the ship crashes. Whatever comes out of the SJ, burns a hole in the floor, (burrows?) down, sculpts "a cave of some sort," and lines it with eggs. Kane's description always suggested pretty strongly to me that this was in fact a cave, BELOW ground level where the derelict landed, rather than a compartment within the ship itself. I've heard it said that we don't know if the egg chamber is inside the ship or not, but the scale appears a bit off as the interior dimensions of the cave appear to me to be more vast than than the exterior dimensions of the ship. We only get to see Kane investigate one small section of this chamber and it is the only section that has what he describes as "a layer of mist." Did Kane's presence activate the mist on the section he was lowered into or did he just happen across the only surviving section. When David pulls the translucent greeen thing out of the ampule in the trailer. The object he is pulling out appears to have four tapered lobes that seem to be holding onto his hand. Maybe the eggs discovered by Kane in Alien are what's left of the green ampule material after the ampule itself has decomposed (timed release like a capsule of medication we might ingest). Someone asked about docking. The Nostromo astronauts entered the derelict through one of three large round openings. We all know what they looked like, so I think it's (safe?) to imagine this ship docking with something that has three approprately shaped appendages? Final random thought. I can't wait to see the SJ chair rise out of the floor and (unfold?) as it appears to do in the trailer. I think the chair will grow in around the Jockey at some point. Also, Giger's painting of the SJ in the chair includes a transparent (glowing?) dome over the head of the SJ like a space helmet.

Yeah I think it's debris on top. The writing on the sides is what I find more intriguing...... Might say "DNA of Things We Made To Look Like Us," could also be "This Way Up" I need me a chart of those glyphs with English translation. Then I shall know WHICH WAY IS THE TOP OF THEM MWAHAHAHAHA!! Why can't I fall asleep yet!?!?!

I think the green thing in the ampule being handled by David in the trailer looks like a squishy version of an egg. There are four tapered lobes that appear to be holding onto his hand as he lifts it out. They remind me of the four flaps that peel back when the eggs open, the egg being an older, hardenned version of what appears here. Maybe the ampules break down over time and the contents adapt to their surroundings (vis-a-vis polarized silicon?) for protection untill hatching. There's also some internal structure to whatever he is lifting. There are opaque shadows inside that look almost like vertabrae.

Could the ampules be like capsules that release their contents after a delay, like a time-release pill or capsule?
