Yet another possible plot summary

TheNextLV426

I think the plot goes something along the lines of. The creators of the human race (and presumably 3 others since there are 4 temples) put clues in various place so when a species becomes intelligent enough and they develop space travel they will figure it out and visit them. Presumably these guys were genuinely friendly but the first species to answers the call for whatever reason they wiped out the creators. Possibly to steal their knowledge, hence the title Prometheus.
Once the creators have been killed, this species is either unhappy about not being favourites or don’t want the competition so they decide to set a trap for other species that turn up in the future.
That is trap is:
Once a new species has arrived, one of the crew is infected with some kind of virus that takes over him. The infection is designed to make him kill everyone, morphing him into a monster along the way. Once the transformation has taken place he pilots the ship full of stored face huggers back to his home world and brings about its destruction and subsequently wipes out the competition.
The SJ are not race per se, it’s just the unfortunately candidate that got infected with the virus, mutated and ultimately climbed in to the space gun suite (or whatever you want to call it) to pilot the ship back to his home world. With that in mind, the SJ seen in Alien was another unsuspecting alien race that was drawn to the planet assuming they were meeting their gods.
In Prometheus (so far) there has been a lack of eggs and instead we see the small pyramid containers. I would imagine these are how face huggers are stored on the ship before being transported to some unsuspecting home world. Having eggs lying around would be a poor choice since a face hugger would get out and wipe out the alien visitors long before one of the crew has been infected with the mutation virus.
I’m 100% sure this does not take place on LV426 but it’s highly likely that the SJ from Alien took off from here and crashed. Probably because the SJ was infected by a face hugger before he managed to complete the journey. This could be why there are eggs on the derelict as the Xeno hatched and laid eggs and either died in the crash, old age, hunger or what not.
From the screen shots its likely they will find dead aliens from the race of aliens that piloted the ship that crashed on LV426. Presumably these are the remains his crew.
In this scenario there would be no need to have Xenos running around killing as the face huggers are safely stored in the pyramids ready for transport but the film is still set in the Aliens universe while not being specifically about Xenos.
My evidence.
In the trailer the dialog says something along the lines of we think it’s an invitation to visit them, later the dialog says we were wrong so wrong. My take on this is it’s not an invitation at all, it’s a trap. But because it would make no sense to invite a species to visit you and then wipe them out when you could just wipe them out to begin with, it’s logical to assume something has happened. The Prometheus angle is another alien race stole something from the gods (and killed them) rather than humans who are more likely to be heroes.
The trailer opens with a human having some kind of black infection spreading though his body. I think this is the start of the mutation process. When complete he will get inside the SJ suite and pilot the ship to earth.
RS has said that the crew will NOT encounter the SJ that crashed on LV426. So 100% it’s not the same derelict. Also the crashed position of the ship on LV426 is totally different; it’s also a slightly different ship design.
RS said that he always thought of the crashed ship as being a bomber. It’s not likely that a friendly race would have bomber standing by to wipe out their creations, otherwise, why create them.
My 2 cents anyway
