Sorry FaceHuggers for the Hijack ;)

Back to the Topic... indeed i think if the Hammerpedes did not kill the Space Jockey then it would be interesting to see what becomes of the Hammerpedes...

Those Chest Busted Engineers bodies do look like Deacon Chest Bursts but the Cryo Pod above them the holes are too small for Chest Buster Deacons

Alien Covenants Xenomorph is not as Bio-Mechanical, it also seems to Birth a Bambi Buster and not a like Snake like Body like the Alien Chest Buster

Here is Carlos Hauntes Alien Engineers Chest Buster Concept.

So i think we can assume that the Hammerpedes could indeed Procreate, if it Lays a Egg then these Eggs will either Hatch a Organism similar to itself or with more Xeno DNA, or some kind of Face Hugger, which when it infects a Host will create a Hybrid that passes on Hammerpede DNA to a Humanoid Host to create  Bipedal Alien.

Alternatively indeed having them lay a Egg that takes on Hosts DNA and well as Hammerpede DNA would lead to a interesting Organism.  That may carry the Egg Laying Traits over from the Hammerpedes

Thank you ;)

I have a number of Sci-Fi ideas, i was working on a Thing Sequel set in Space, about 5 years ago i had this idea but its actually a bit like LIFE lol

Only based on the Moon Titan, and the Story was called The Titan, i only got as far as deep synopis... but its basically similar to Life, only they find it on the surface of the Moon Titan, when a Probe Lands called Titan 1 and brings Samples and a Dead Alien Organism.... this then starts to come to life and they study it and then it starts to assimilate the crew, exactly like the Thing.

I have not seen Life or know 100% the Plot though...

I have all these ideas but sometimes i dont write them down the other week i had the idea for a Plot of a Movie where a Space Ship arrives between Jupiter and Mars, well close to Mars, the USA and Russia discover it, they get a Deep Space Probe to take Photos but the Russians Hack it and so only they get the Photos.... Russia and USA then battle for a Space Race... Russia Lunches First, they arrive first then USA do and on their way they discover via there ships telescope this Craft is very Futuristic and Human and has Markings in Alphabet on it.

Russians arrive and Dock with it, they discover Dead Mummified Humanoids its hard to make out, they discover the Systems are advanced but are in English... the Power is down and on Emergency and they cant access rest of the ship.

The USA ship is inbound, the Russians managed to gain a bit of power and bring the Derelict Ship (Human looking) to life and find a Cryo-sleep area and awaken the crew to find they are Humans.

The Humans are alarmed and ask whats going on, Russians threaten them then shoot one in the leg as the Ships Humans try and rush to the computer... the Russians ask what they are doing here... The Humans on the ship say we have arrived to dock with Mars Base Beta 2, The Russians say there no such thing and think these are Americans on a Secret USA Space Mission, we would get some interesting conflict where the Russians dont believe them... the Humans realize the Russians are Russian and tell them that Russia split up, its no longer Russia... they Russians get mad... the Humans claim they had left Mars in the year 2177 due to arrive back after a mission in he year 2192....  But the year is 2028 they have gone back 150 years in the past.

The USA ship arrives and we get some fighting and stuff, the Russians want this ship because of the Advantage the Technology gives the Russians... the idea in the end is the Russians are killed....

The Future Humans cant repair the ship, they then agree (as some killed by Russians, some died as Cryo-sleep failed).. they agree to try and set up a colony on Mars, but the USA Party tell them eventually Mankind will arrive on Mars and find them... the discover could change the course of history...

So the few survivors make a pact some will come back with he USA Crew and vow never to divulge what happened, while one of the Humans and a Seriously injured USA astro naught agree to pilot the ship towards Satan and Crash it into the Surface

It has no way to enter Warp Speed or how it could get back to the year 2177 so they had to use basic thrust to destroy it.

They discover instead of entering back at Hyper Speed, they instead go back in time 150 years, that actually takes them 150 years hence the crew died out due to some Worm Hole event that caused this.... so that 150 years backwards had past, which is why the crew who was on duty are mummified and some of the Cryo-Pods Failed.

Thats just a basic idea i had came into my head the other week, well Thursday lol

Trilobyte running on it's tentacles would be complete nightmare fuel.  That's freaking terrifying.

And the OP's theory makes a lot of sense.  Good takeaway!

BigDave

Man, seriously, keep a notebook handy for keeping your ideas safe and get ahold of a ghostwriter to help you write the books! You have some awesome ideas!!

Nycro

Heh, you think 'cuddles' running about on it's tentacles is nightmare-fuel?

heh, I recall a quote...

"We have such sights to show you."

COOL post!!

Just to say, been working under the hood of ALIEN: Manticore, and the entire 'block' of the story where they're on and about LV-223 is undergoing extensive additions, building-up and editing as with all the recent treasures of info and inspiring tidbits I can now really bring some serious weight into things.

And for those of you like the Hammerpede...well, ever wonder what 40+ years of exposure to the leakage of the Urns would do to the evolution and development of a species?

Also, I've been pondering the Deacon's fate, and I think I have an idea that works. :)

"We will see, what we see, when we see it."

"Yeah, sure. Unless it sees us first."

Well, the Block-edit and rebuild is credited largely to the forum members here, like yourself and the gents who gave us that pure Muse-fuel in the form of the Animated Series!! :D

I'm just trying to work out and meld from the various delicious tidbits the elements that work best together and mesh with the story and the R. Scott Alienverse. So, i'm kinda-sorta a 'seamstress'. :D

Made the mistake of letting a close friend read an excerpt, and well, I'm responsible for her nightmares that cost her a night's sleep...a blame I happily share with the rest of you as it was a 'group effort' after all. :D

She's NOT mad, and told me (as I refer such to you all now) that her having nightmares should be taken as a Compliment. :D

I love your story BigDave. I had a blast to read them. Your Alien Ascension story reminded me a bit of the Alien Out of the Shadows book. You know the elements like the mining workers finding some rare material, and a ship. But I love it. Keep on the good work.

That was one reason I was a bit disappointed with Prometheus. I thought the Hammerpedes where an interesting concept and I would have loved to see more of them and be explained a bit further then only shown for a few seconds.
