The Engineer - Xenomorph relation

I like your theory however I do have a different take on it. The Xeno's as they have been depicted throughout the series always seem to take on some characteristics from the host, hence the reason why ASH said they were perfect in Alien. Also in Alien the Xeno originally came from the space jockey and it would of been the space jockey that gave it its Bio Mech. So I would say it was the other way around from your point of view that the Engineers got Bio-Mech from the Xenos. For me the Engineers are the ones who created the Xenos( If they created us why cant they create Xenos, it appears they like to play God). Given that they seem to be very much into the Bio-Mech (suits,controls,ships) that they are indeed a very advanced species. We currently play with cells and genes and are not nearly as advanced and to create the Xeno I would say would not be beyond the engineers ability. As far as the murals go, I would not say that they are praising, but more or less showing that Xenos DNA is what is contained within the Ampules. To me the mural looks like the Xeno rising from the goo.

... Design is always part environment, and by that I mean whoever is in the process of designing will invertible pass on their own inherent views and personal biases, both intentionally and through their biological makeup. I think the Engineers have embraced biomechanoid engineering principles in order to fully integrated their functional designs. Take their stasis suits for example, they seem to be seamlessly integrate into their own flesh. Great thread, and thanks for sharing it.

@bunny, theres no zippers on the SJ suits!!! how do they get in/out of them???

".....I think the Engineers have embraced biomechanoid engineering principles in order to fully integrated their functional designs..." It occurs to me that while Shaw and David are travelling to the presumed Engineers' home,,they should be able to access the Ships/logs files to gather insight into the Enginners lives.. In writing this it does seem that David had way more knowledge /operating skills other crew members are aware of.. Look how often he has altered the story by his actions..

what snakes are for us, same goes for engineer and xenos. just mighty version of serpants.

The engineers are superior but subservient. The Pilot bowed to the humans and kept his head down until their spat and David's communication set him off. (He first rose and stood straight up, powerfully- indicating he needs no recovery time, THEN saw the visitors and dropped to one knee and bowed his head immediately) I suspect they were subservient to the humans initially, but then moved on to the Xenos as evidenced by the Goo room.

Excellent play of thoughts and theories! I really enjoy reading all your opinions guys and I truly admire the richness of thoughts in this mega forum, through 'n' through. I was reluctant to join but now I feel so grateful. It feels like an excellent and rewarding exercise for the mind. I only hope the sum of our thoughts and beliefs on these subjects will only help Sir Ridley to build an even better next chapter in the Alien mythos...
