I was looking at the image of the Engineers and started thinking about their clothing... It looks as if it is cotton and they have a rope styled belt a metal pin.....holding the cape and a neck decoration that appears to be made of fibres.... [img]http://doubleonothing.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/prometheus-elder-engineers.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.prometheus-movie.com/media/prometheus_engineers_deleted_opening_scene.jpg[/img] I began wondering whether we could start working out what their home planet looks like by working backwards from these clues....as you would with forensic evidence... so...cotton and plant fibres....... does that mean their planet has plants ? and what is the Vial made from that holds the goo?? clay...wood..plastic? There is the large circular spaceship and the juggernaut etc etc the material used to build these may have come from thier planet? We know they are carbon based ....what about the atmosphere of their home planet...do we know when they needed their suits or not to breath?? they seem to be able to breathe naturally on Earth?? so oxygen??

irt. BLANDCorporatio "I am a bit curious why they need to sacrifice one of their own to seed a planet with life." they maybe wouldnt need to, but not being gods and unlike humans in this storyverse maybe they did (know gods) and were told or decided that if you wanted to create life 'legitimately' (within some ancient alien code of honour) then the price was you would have to lose a life..... it would explain the possible disapproval of the engineer re. David. Sort of like if you went to a load of hassle and cost to get planning permisson for something only to see a neighbour flinging up ugly extensions willy-nilly.

irt. [b]caenorhabhditis[/b]: Exactly, the possibilities are worth looking into. I don't think we have the info needed to decide on one right now, but hopefully the sequel will explore some answer to that question as well. As your post shows, an answer here implies other things, as well.
The whole point of this is lost if you keep it a secret.

Of special interest oncerning this thread is a look at the Engineer's world The problem is I can't imagine a follow-up story that is all aliens and just two leftovers from the Prometheus movie. It would have to one hell of a storyline to capture our attention for a couple of hours screen time. Flashbacks are a possibility to fill out several back stories that have been discussed at this tie, However except for 'Usual Suspects" I have not found this storytelling style interesting. For me a Engineers' story involving many humans would be of great interest.

irt. [b]Indy John[/b]: That is one of my concerns too. I wouldn't mind a story of just two explorers on an isolated journey to a strange locale, but it would be a huge risk for a studio to green-light a script which is mostly about two people on a boat, basically, and then throw a huge wad of money at it. Blockbusters these days just tend not to be ... atmospherically paced. My guess (after I've had a crack of writing a story myself- we all did, right? lol), is that the film will dispense with the journey to the Engineer world as quickly as possible. Once you get there, all sorts of surprises can happen, because you have a large pool of potential characters. And not all of them have to be Engineers. I do like the Colosseum idea, btw. It's delightfully cheesy.

Looking at all of the pix of the Elders, watching the little we know of the Engineers in our movie and few comments by posters the Engineers just don't seem like happy people. I mean look at Shaw. Here she is , after finding the greatest discovery known to man , still wanting to take a roll in the hay . I want to see Engineeers having a good time....or discover why they are so serious. In fact i want to know if they are bio-mech to the point that excludes all personal agendas to paraphrased Vickers.
