engineers in cryo

Can't say I've heard of double impregnation,but considering the engineers large frame maybe.After all the deacon was quite large when it was born,perhaps it gained extra nourishment from another embryo.

That actually is a really cool theory, however we really don't know what it looks like when a facehugger breaks through a Cryostasis pod. We get a little bit of detail from Alien 3 in that situation, but I don't think that could be very possible. If the engineers are so smart, he'd know that he's impregnated with what they created .

that's maybe why hes so angry. he was put into stasis to save him but now he has been woken up and sentenced to death by these pitiful beings?im guessing the other engineers were put into stasis knowing of theyr situation aswell

"that's maybe why hes so angry. he was put into stasis to save him but now he has been woken up and sentenced to death"

This was indeed the fate of the Engineer in Spaights draft and we have to remember its likely the Props was worked on for Spaights draft.

The other Engineers were not as lucky and did not get into Cryo-sleep in time.

I think the Prometheus Engineer however was unaffected, but the Space Jockey could have been infected the same as the other 3 Engineers in the same ship as the Last Engineer.

The Space Jockey Managed to get into Cryo-sleep in time to prevent the Chest Buster, and then he woke up some 200 years latter and set off on his mission but then he got Chest Busted?

I think this is a possible explanation, but i also have the feeling maybe the Space Jockey did not 100% know he was infected before he went into Cryo-sleep?

There is a lot of ways to explain the Space Jockey in context...

But also there is ways to look at the Engineer in separate way to Space Jockey.

I will be busy now... but i will expand upon this..

And why the Hammerpedes could be the likely cause.

@Big Dave

I just had a bad thought...If the face-huggers infect you through your , well...face, what is the Hammerpedes primary means of infection? We saw one serve up Milburn pretty good through his mouth in Prometheus, but what if they prefer another entry...?

This is really disturbing even for me...

This is a bit skewed off topic but related in a way,

is it possible something that was birthed by one of the engineers was still in the pyramid after all that time?

What was janek looking at that was heading toward Milburn & Fifield and disappeared off the holo-map? It was probably the hammerpede(s), but maybe it wasn't? hmmmmmmm.

It was picking up the sleeping Engineer.

@S.M, your right, it was when david heard the heartbeat of the engineer in cryo-stasis, the mapper picked it up.

if it was the engineers heart beat the signal wouldn't have disappeared.

plus I believe the mapper wasn't in the room with david at the time

The Engineers life signs were slowed down to the point that the PUP only registered a sporadic lifeform reading.

just watched the scene again. all crew members were on the Prometheus when the ping was detected. it was before david infects Holloway. it also looks like the location of the ping is located at a dead end quite a bit away from where the guys r. I think its intended to show something else is there, possibly what killed the engineers

the heart beat doesn't sound slowed down to me, plus the door to the engineer pods was sealed shut, its not the engineer its picking up

The Engineer is the only lifeform on the Juggernaut.

I thought it was picking up faint traces of the Engineer.

but the ping is not located on the juggernaut

I at first thought it was the hammerpede 

The ping is located at the Juggernaut's main hatch.  They think it's a glitch, David investigates, opens the hatch - and finds a living Engineer.

Why complicate things with hammerpedes that were a kilometre away from the pinging PUP?

It was my first thought when watching because the hammerpede was revealed shortly after 

whos complicating things with hammerpedes? who mentioned a hammerpede? the ping is at the end of a long corridor which has been mapped, none of the juggernaut had been mapped at that point so how can it be the engineer. unless ofcourse he got up, found another way to the area, examines the pup, then holds his breath, slows his heart beat and then returns to his cryo pod. possible?

I mentioned the hammerpede 

Apologies my phone is acting slow

Have a look above - hammerpedes have been mentioned a number of times.

It has to be the Engineer because it's the only lifeform in the vicinity of that PUP.  The hypersleep chamber slows down his life signs so there's no need to hold his breath - hence the intermittent lifeform reading leading Janek to believe it was a glitch.

No problem ali81 

quite clearly a long MAPPED corridor with NO sign of a ship

and there's ur ship,at the end of a long corridor

Correct.  Showing how close the PUP was to the sleeping Engineer when it picked up the lifeform reading.

how can the pup be in the chamber?the location of the ping is clearly in a place the pup had mapped. so where is the rest of the room? where is the rest of the ship in the first picture?

There's also a deleted scene where Fifeld an Milburn find a shed skin.I know it's "deleted" but perhaps something was running around in there.

the dead end clearly shows the pup cant map through walls or doors and the ping is located within its mapped area.

also the shreak heard during the hologram suggests something else was there with the engineers so where did it go?

deleted scenes r purposely put in the extras to show u the mind set of where the director was going. the skin and the shreek suggest that ridley is saying a deacon/ xeno or something else is down there

There isn't a strong belief that they were under attack from the Xenomorph 

"how can the pup be in the chamber?the location of the ping is clearly in a place the pup had mapped. so where is the rest of the room? where is the rest of the ship in the first picture?"

What makes you think it has to have mapped an area to pick up a lifeform reading?  It uses lasers for mapping - which can't get beyond the door.  It has bio-sensors to pick up lifeforms.

its clearly in an area where the pup has picked up the surrounding walls of the corridor. if the ping is beyond the door then why does it indicated the ping inside the mapped area if the pup cant pick up the inside structure of the cryo room?

xeno, yea I don't see the engineers running from the stationary goo like that. something is chasing them or has caught one of them

it could even be a deacon or a xeno just bursting from an engineers chest?

Chris ran a story little over a month ago about things we all missed about Prometheus,and he matched the scream to the Xenomorph from Aliens.I wouldn't count out the deacon either 

yea I saw that. id go with the xeno aswell. my theory is the derelict was part of several ships sent to wipe out the enigeers on lv223. huggers got loose which is why the derelict crashed but at least one ship dropped its cargo. if it was huggers then it would make sense a xeno, if already created, would burst from the engineer, though differ in size, as engineer and human make up is the same. the deacon is from a whole set of different circumstances
