MemberNeomorphFeb 21, 201710588 Views58 Replieswe see in Prometheus the holes in the cryo pods in the engineers ship which def suggests they had been implanted with chest bursters which broke free when the engineers were in cryo. do u think the last engineer escaped such a fate? he was implanted with the deacon, obviously, but would it be possible for him to have been impregnated like the rest of his sleeping crew AND impregnated by the trilobite? if so would the deacon kill the original chest burster? some species of shark kill theyr siblings while in the mother sharks womb, could the same be possible here?

The most likely angle.I believe Fifeld and Milburn,when they find the pile of the dead engineer bodies,acknowledge that something appeared to have burst from their chest.But i could be wrong.

they most definitely say that, its a very deliberate statement. just so happens, moments after they make that comment, THE PING is detected. hhhhhmmmmm spoooooooooky

ninXeno426February 22, 2017
Exactly.And we know that shed skin belongs to the Xenomorph.The real question is whether that skin is fresh or old.

ali81February 22, 2017
don't remember the scene so cant give an opinion on whether it fresh or not but I def think ridley is motioning toward some unseen but yet detected xeno life form

ill def make a point in keeping my eye peeled next time I watch the deleted scenes. I like the opening alternate scene with the engineers

"they most definitely say that, its a very deliberate statement. just so happens, moments after they make that comment, THE PING is detected. hhhhhmmmmm spoooooooooky"
The ping is detected 1 kilometre away.
But if you've miraculously convinced yourself it's something else against all reason - go nuts.

ali81February 22, 2017
and what reason would that be? the ping is on the wrong side of the sealed door to be the engineer?

ninXeno426February 22, 2017
The possibility of something else in the pyramid is not terribly unlikely when you think about is.The Xenomorph seem like they can remain dormant for a long time

ali81February 22, 2017
totally, it may have just been having a stretch and a yawn then back to sleep. I never gave the xeno much thought till chris pointed out the shreek in the hologram. I always thought they were running from something but id never thought of his theory. I do like the thought that there is something else there. a big enough threat that would scare even the engineers and the xeno def fits that bill. so since then iv always thought where the xenos went after killing all the engineers.

ninXeno426February 22, 2017
Xenomorph has always been my theory.The only other thing it could have been is an infected engineer,but one of those was already running with them.The door shut and decapitated him

ali81February 22, 2017
yea the last engineer looks over his shoulder while running so they r all running from the same thing I believe.

ninXeno426February 22, 2017
Then we have the pile of corpses blocking a door,with potential chestbursters

ali81February 22, 2017
I don't get the pile of corpses. I get the amount of dead engineers and the holes in theyr chests but the fact they have been deliberately piled up? who piled them up? if it was attacking engineers like so many have theorised theyd be mad to come to the facility with the xenos running around.

ninXeno426February 22, 2017
Yeah i haven't no idea either.Chris said that the pile are the same ones we see locking themselves in the chamber since other than the headless one non of the other bodies are any where to be seen.


ali81February 22, 2017
id go along with that, but to me, it looks like they possibly perish somewhere else and have been piled up here for some odd reason. possibly intimidation? but again why would they come to the facility with the xenos already birthed? madness lol but the may have a method of catching the xeno safely?
