MemberOvomorphJan-12-2013 4:06 PMIf you consider that shaw left LV 223 with a ship full of bio weapons , how will she be received when she reaches LV223? If going by previous forum discussions the engineers on LV223 were renegades/rebels/dark angels. Will the engineers on their home world realise that shaw and david come in peace?
I guess that if the home world engineers are hostile , shaw and daivd wont be completely unarmed.

If all of this is based on Lovecraft and the other writers that followed him, then it's almost dead certain there are other races. The main ones in the Lovecraft/Cthulu mythos are the Elder Gods, Great Old Ones, and the Outer Gods.
I doubt all of the Engineers bio-weaponry was made just to destroy humans.

MemberChestbursterJan-15-2013 12:15 AMthe funny thing ab;out them having a ruined hoemwrold and war ravaged society is that they were presumably on their way to earth to kill us for being selfish war starting/finishing things(great description huh? haha) and they possibly had an outbreak of their own so called weapon and they are attacked and killed each other like i said with a most likely messed up homeworld. irony with a capital i for sure

MemberOvomorphJan-15-2013 5:48 AMYes the irony would be quite thick if what you vision is part of the Pardise storyline.
I keep getting hung up on the charactors that will be needed in the P2 and beyond.
There is no way taht RS will go Star Wars' and keep introducing a new breed of charactors fro each installment. That would seem too cartoonish and disrespectful to Prometheus and fans.
And just having an Robot and Shaw doing battling Engineers seems to barren and limited for major film release.
There must be more human roles to balance out the Engineers and any zeno related activities.
How with humans get to the next prequel?
So the storyline must involve more humans involved with the Engineer world somehow leading to a connection to Alien.
I sort of like the idea of making a stop at a human outpost before continuing(in a Juggernaut) to the next stop of the Engineer trail.
AS far as how she will be recieved hostle comes to mind until by her actions she wins over the Engineers and take on the higher/highest level of Creators, the ones who let loose the xenos in our fictional world.

MemberChestbursterJan-20-2013 11:07 PMMaybe there will be new human characters already in paradise. I am not sure right now how to go about explaining the reason(s) they would be there right now but it seems like shaw could be in for a pleasant suprise to see familiar looking creatures. Although David probably wont haha;)
But seriously this idea is growing on me. it could make for a intersting twist or two. also, the possibility of the deacon ending up there would allow it more victims

MemberOvomorphJan-21-2013 7:18 AMThis is a curious option for Paradise. When the Engineers visited earth would they not want tobring home evidence of thenhuman experiment? Depending when the last visit occurred could there be humans, like in Close Encounters.." that wanted to visit other worlds and give up willingly their earth life for an adventure of lifetime and visit inter steller travel?
It is all speculation and I would assume RS has mapped out the next one(or two) storylines in brioad strokes at least.
Practical scenes must include humens in falashbacks at least.
However, cuponator3000, if he needs script ideas RS could,just stop in here for suggestions.

MemberOvomorphJan-21-2013 7:44 AMThat is a very plausable scenario Indy John, at least to ponder it if not to actually execute it on film but as with the Close Encounters connection also it immediately springs to mind Cocoon and Cocoon: The Return when we see all of the older folks aboard the spacecraft fly off into what looks like the Orion Nebula, or some type of nebula, then they all return in the sequel. It makes you wonder as is the case for the returnees in Cloes Encounters: what wonders or terrors did they see during their voyage out and returning to Earth again? Makes you wonder, and so it makes you wonder about the Engineers and if they had the chossen few from earth to go along with them - the deciples you could say.
This is a great idea! In some ways it could work, it would have to be cleverly done though, thats all.

MemberOvomorphJan-21-2013 8:24 AMLet me take another crack at this thread.
I think initialy that Shaw and david will be well recieved in 'Paradise'
Th next level of Gors' have been using the Engineers to do all the manual work for them. The Engineers act like Robots on steroids. The Engineers operaste with not regard for personal protection. They act as they were created to do certtain tasks, skillfully, but without any personal conviction.
They act like they have no soul.
In Shaw's case she is a thinking human and can match wits with Engineers. She lured the Engineer in the shuttle back to where the creepy face hugger was ready to do business and had no qualms to let the two duke it out. Shaw showed some independant thinking.
The Engineers and Humans may be related but an thinking entiry should have an upper edge in facinfg ner situations.
In any case adding some human charactoriastixcs to the enginers'physical attibute would a step up in evolution.
Heck mix in a few xeno traits and you would have real threas/savior of the Universe.
