If you made a Pometheus 2, how would you make it??

A dinner party on Paradise at which Shaw and David are present as honored guests with about 7 other influential Elder Engineers who know a lot about their history and can answer LOTS of questions. All of the dialogue is in Engineer. David’s head occasionally interprets for Shaw who is rather uncomfortable in her organic resin booster seat. The entrée consists of boiled facehugger stuffed with rice. The room is elegantly appointed with Geiger-esque furnishings and an Alien Queen head is mounted over the fireplace. To the left of the fireplace is the missing Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail sits beside a candelabra on the mantle. As some point someone brings up Atlantis and there's an uncomfortable pause in the otherwise jovial banter... It's all in 3D, of course!

Simple. Show what the original Engineers on LV-223 were running from. Show how whatever they were running from gets to the Home World and destroys them. This ties into how the Derelict on LV-426 got there (while heading back to the Home World).

Shambhala, that is a very nice write-up, I would love to see something like this in the sequel. The only thing that made me go "Hmmm" was that the star maps were a trap. I think of a trap as a device to capture (or kill) something that is not easily attainable- like a wild hog, for instance. But the Engineers don't need to trap us first to use us as cannon fodder for xenos, they can just send a Juggernaught and drop off their payload. If the goal is to detect a certain level of technological development and put a stop to it, why not just send an unmanned probe? Because what if we don't care to visit- and continue technological development unabated- becoming even more of a potential threat? I don't know, Ridley making the Space Jockey a large humanoid in a suit really killed it for me. Now if they do decide to make the sequel, I would like to see them go back to that idea. For example, the engineers *use* Space Jockey tech, but there is another, higher biomechanoid race overseeing them. This would save the original Space Jockey from being belittled by Ridley's silly man-in-suit fantasies and open up a lot more possibilities. That's another thing- whatever story they dream up for the sequel, drop it in this forum first so it can go through a few good thousand maulings before it's good enough to film. Because the minds on this forum are just coming up with all sorts of awesome shit.

First off...as humans explore outerspace maybe they do find relics of ancient aliens and NOT HUMANS. Colonists keep finding more stuff and at some point the military would have a highly trained group of scientists go from planet to planet trying to put the puzzle pieces together. Regardless of the Weyland corporations power, the space marines would ultimately be monitoring their progress. Now if they were to chase Shaw across the galaxy to the Alien home universe I would expect her to get there before they could catch up. By the time they get there she would have been assimilated into it's biomechanical matrix and the aliens very prepared for human contact on a completely biomorphic fractal planets and giant spacestation habitats like a Nanodelbrot Odyssey.

Absolutely, no friggin xenos. They've been done to death, brought back and done to death again. They're not scary anymore and all the facehugging and chestbursting is boring & redundant. Want to see Shaw & David make it to the engineer homeworld to discover there are two warring factions of engineer, the one's who made us and the one's that want to destroy us.

Oh I almost forgot...a hoe bunch a bad asses getting wasted on an epic scale @8
