Following the events of [b]Prometheus[/b], nothing answers why the Derelict seen in Ridley Scott's [b]Alien[/b] crash landed on the planet [i]LV 426[/i] and why it was carrying a cargo bay full of eggs. [b]Prometheus[/b] took place on an adjacent moon, called [i]LV_223[/i], and on that moon, the crew of the Weyland USCSS Prometheus discovered pyramids containing Engineer bio-weapons, which were stored in Juggernaut space crafts ready to be brought to what we eventually found out to be - Earth 2,000 years ago. [center] [url=http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/gallery/view/img/261][img]http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/media/prometheusK_screencap38.jpg[/img][/url] [/center] [b]Alien[/b] takes place on a different moon - [i]LV 426[/i], however in the same, Zeta 2 Reticulii Star System. In [b]Prometheus[/b], the Engineers are found to have ships full of Ampules, containing a hazardous black liquid which mutates organic life into Xenomorph-like creatures. Yet, nothing like what we witness in the classic [b]Alien[/b] series. So, what really happened to the poor Space Jockey found on [i]LV 426[/i]? Did he crash land there after his chest was burst open by an Alien? Or did the infection occur after crash landing on the planet's surface - potentially disrupting the stasis of his cargo beneath him? But then the question again is - what caused him to crash land in the first place?

But what's intriguing to me are the significant differences between the Engineer/Space Jockey seen in Prometheus and Alien, aside from obvious physical size differences. Is there a connection between the [i]Ampules[/i] from [i]LV_223[/i] and the Xenomorph Eggs on [i]LV 426[/i]? Were the eggs manufactured like the Ampules? Or did the Engineers manage to engineer a Queen? The question of this topic is - What happened on LV 426? How did the Space Jockey crash and what do you think caused the Xenomoprh outbreak?

Theres a deleted scene  inalien where lambert plays the warning and it sounds nothing like the engineer in Prometheus . So maybe the derelict was investigating it  and shit went down . Also weird these only the one jockey . Like it died during gestation ,so what s up with the acid.

Agreed the sounds is different, the sound was distorted and muffled mind.... but maybe they can explain it some other way but i doubt it... for all intensive purposes the Space Jockey and Engineers are related.

But the interesting thing i think you are trying to sugest is what if that Signal was not from the Derelict?  What if the Derelict merely fell victim to some other SOS it investigated....

This could be possible, although its not the case.. i dont think as the Technology of the Egg Silo and Derelict abd Juggernaughts are similar from a architectural stand point...

But i can see how a idea like yours would work.... Engineers find the Sigal... they get infected, they land on LV 223 and begin to experiment on the Bio Weapons they came across....  This is a idea that Star Beast was going for...

And as far as One Jockey and Acid Hole.... i am sure one of the evolved drafts from Star Beast to Alien had it that the Space Jockey got chest busted but his fellow comrades took out and killed the Organism and thats why there was a Acid Burn.

But for now.... the Acid Burn Hole next to the Pilot Chair is just one more of those Mystreys about the Space Jockey Incident that we dont have a definate answer too.
