I found this chart quite fascinating when I first saw it. I thought it was very nice, simple, and a clever way of explaining the mysteries involved with the Black Goo. I have recently seen several different Species Origin charts surfacing on different forums and was wondering which one you intelligent minded members might think is correct. I certainly invite anyone to make a diagram of their own to better explain their own opinion as there are thousands of genius people within this community. I am starting this thread with the intention of discussing Ridley Scott’s world, Prometheus and Alien only, not any of the sequels. In your opinion, which chart, A, B, C, or D - [i]your own chart[/i], do you guys think is the most accurate and why, and what changes would you make?

Well the first one is mine, and It's missing a last line... where basically anything vaguely human , plus a facehugger will give you a Xeno by chestburster, and anything vaguely human plus black goo will give you a Xeno by mutation. The test tube indicates a process not yet seen, in my opinion, but something that reflects this: [img]http://library.creativecow.net/articles/kaufman_debra/VFX_Prometheus-Luma/title_banner.jpg[/img] very brief visual suggestion. and this [img]http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n34/mortis45/FreddyInSpace3/prome.jpg[/img]

so, you're saying AN ELITE GROUP OF HUMANS had to be LURED back to LV-223 to complete the weaponisation cycle? Or TO CREATE GODS of man? :)
2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...

Elite group of humans? You mean the crew of prometheus? The weaponisation cycle was complete long before that. How long has that Xenomorph image been on that wall/door? How long have those Xenomorph eggs been on the derelict on LV 426. No, I'm saying that these clowns are not the first humans to land on LV 223. Why else would there be functioning atmosphere processors producing the clean breathable air, cleaner than 2093 Earth air even (perhaps as clean as it was before the industrial revolution?) The Space Jockey as we saw, can run outside without a mask, in an atmosphere that would cause a human to pass out in seconds, and be dead in a couple of minutes. But "igor" can sprint across, and pull airlock doors open with his bare hands, and not seem out of breath. That atmosphere inside the dome, is for human benefit. Also, look at the urn chamber [img]http://www.houriganwebworks.com/images/Urns.png[/img] There's a LOT more of them, than we see engineers, and the spacing, if we were to assign one creature per urn, looks fine compared to Shaw there, but would seem to be too tight to fit in 90 space Jockeys into that shot. The 'Invitation' ... was that a map for us to follow? Or was it a returning human depicting what he saw in the 3d hologram? We can speculate elsewhere as to why they would let one come back. happened in Earth slavery too, but perhaps a returning human also helped convince the others to obey their technologically advanced masters as Gods. And who doesn't comply when god says "i'm taking you to heaven"? Remember the cave drawings range from 35,000 years old to 680 CE (AD) so long before any of them heard the wisdom of James T Kirk with his prominent question...

And long before Mary Shelley wrote this (note the full title) [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/Frank1818.jpg[/img]
