I want to discuss the possible purpose of the cryo pods.

As you can see there are quite a few cryo pods, I think this could be the pods that carry the colonists.

the first cryo pod image was of Daniels, but that could have been a different room.

I am just saying that these cryo pods could be carrying the colonists instead of the actual crew, the crew would have their own cryo pods in a different room.

Obsession is a Power, not a Curse ;)

Have any other pods in the Alien movies been clearly labeled as "CRYO"? The gear in Prometheus clearly indicated "hypersleep" on various monitors, and the technology has always been framed as such previously. The online content produced for Prometheus implied that hypersleep is a stasis technology, and not necessarily cryogenic per se. Between that label and the full-body suits, I was taking it as being a different technology than previously seen - presumably for longer duration use. After all, wasn't Ripley told that her lengthy survival in hypersleep was surprising?
