Archeron and LV-223

MemberOvomorphMay 10, 20122936 Views31 RepliesArcheron is "the river of pain or hades" in Greek mythology. Nearby in one of the Prometheus stills, which user 897 captured, LV-223 is shown circling the ringed planet with another planetoid close by...I bet my left nut it's LV-426.

LV-426 didn't have the atmosphere until WY not terraformed it. Definitely this is another planet...

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

You know, i don't believe for one second that RS just "made up" the planet names. But i can't seem to find any system involved either.
Just doesn't make sense.
Wanna give it a shot?

Ok, so it's a binary system. Two stars rotating around one another. Lv 426, and Lv 223 are each orbiting their own star?

This should pull up the Z2R system on wikipedia. Binary system, both suns similiar to ours and one of them has a debris disk around it...the ringed body may be a sun actually!

All of you guys have advanced some pretty interesting theories:
1.) If Weylend is truly hidden aboard the Prometheus, then this may corroborate that Twitter girl's story about having seen an advanced screening of the film. This would also debunk the story from the script that was leaked on the web about a month ago.
2.) Ash's foreknowledge of what was on LV-426 is an interesting avenue to explore. He knew something, but the extent of which is debatable. I would assert that he knew about the planet as well as what these lifeforms could do. So I'm wondering if Prometheus would set up the "company's" desire to capture and bring back a specimen for their bio-weapons division.
So, what is the "xenomorph" a hybrid of? Is it bio-mechanical, as in the product of being meshed with a synthetic life form, such as David?

i think you guys are all bang on. i rekon they are two different ships and two different systems. and we are gonna get enough info to make some speculation about the xeno's origins. nothing more.

Acheron (LV-426 ) orbits the ringed planet Calpamos in the binary star system Zeta Reticuli, 39 light-years from Sol. LV-426 is the middle moon. The inner moon is called Rosto. The outer moon is called Varda. LV-223 is stated by RS as being in the same star system (Zeta Reticuli). Don't believe LV-223 orbits the same planet as LV-426.
