Biomechanoids and the homeworld series

I've had some spare time recently, so I've indulged myself and done a full playthrough of the homeworld series (Homeworld 1, Cataclysm, Homeworld 2). In fact, I believe I'm seeing parallels between the goo in Prometheus, and two items in particular: The Beast from Homeworld: Cataclysm : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEiyFp1CpXI This is a pretty close analogy, a biomechanical virus that takes control of a ship and its crew, in a horrible, horrible fashion. Maybe the goo from the trailer is intelligent, like the Beast, and is trying to use the crew of the Prometheus to leave the planet, to infect everyone else (although this seems like a rather overdone plot) And the Movers from Homeworld 2: http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Mover Movers are ancient tools, used by the Progenitors in homeworld to tend their ships, and basically do their dirty work. In fact they are so well built, that they last long enough to attack the player, while defending Progenitor derelicts that they've been tending. Maybe that's what the goo is. Either some misguided tool for terraforming/whatever they want it to do, so well designed that it works even after sitting around for a long time and infects the crew, or maybe even a security system for the Engineers, while they are in hibernation, waiting for species they've seeded to wake up. It'd be even better if it tries turn the crew into Engineers, I mean a security system that replenishes your ranks, not a half bad idea. Anyways, those are my current ravings.
