The guy with the rifle

In the Indian trailer, we get a good look at the mercenary holding the rifle. The scene is where Ford is shaking and the rifle guy pulls up to shoot something approaching them. We had seen this previously in another clip, as the hand of the engineer approaches Ford. He’s a minor character, but seeing him alive in clips helps to bring some scenes into sequence. This is the same person seen kneeling next to the old man in the wheelchair (Weyland) with David (Shaw is seen collapsing as she enters the room). This is also the same guy firing his pistol in the hanger, as the group looks like they are fighting their way out with the old man. Ford is also seen alive at this time, helping the old man into the hanger area. So it seems to me, there are at least three trips to the temple. Trip #1: The find the severed head they bring back to the ship. The trip is cut short due to the approaching storm. In the recent Vickers featurette, we can see Vickers telling everyone she is going to close the doors in 15 minutes, and they race back to the Prometheus. The storm is right on them and they make it, but Shaw is blown off her feet trying to recover the head. Trip #2: All hell breaks loose on this trip. The return with injured and infected crew members leads to Vickers confronting them at the hanger door with the flamethrower. Trip #3: The mercenaries lead the fight out into the hanger, while Ford and the others help the old man. We know this same mercenary and Ford make it back to the temple again, where they are confronted by the Engineer.

@RabidChinChilla - I was thinking about this the other day. I agree with you that there seem to be three trips if you track Ford and that mercenary throught the images and videos we have seen.

@fanboy79, No it isn't Fifield. Waaaay, back when the first trailer came out, the image was blown up and it cleary wasn't Fifield. He just seemed like a minor character as he wasn't really featured in any of the subsequent releases. However, now that we've seen him pop up in a few key sequences, it gives us a decent idea on the flow of some of the scenes. It looks like his character will make it as far as the third trip to the temple before getting killed along with Ford.

The only thing we can deduce is: "When a man with a rifle meets a man with a space croissant, the man with a rifle is a dead man"
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.

@Pikey I went back to the link for the Indian trailer and it has been removed by Fox. If I find another link, I'll post it.

I think it's hilarious that Fox is knocking down all this stuff from the web...even though the source material came from various Fox organs. It means Fox has absolutely no idea what its own PR teams are doing. Ridley must be pissed with this Keystone Cop PR buffoonery.
