ALIEN: ALPHA
BigDave
MemberDeaconApril 25, 2018I was intending to make this POST at EASTER. But Better Late that Never ;)
I had been pondering for quite a while now how could we expand the Universe Beyond and further back than we have seen in Prometheus. I have always wondered what would lie at the Very Top of the Hierarchy of CREATION? And Ridley Scott had seemed to HINT there was more Beyond and Above our Engineers with comments regarding The Removal of the Elders Scene,he said
"i did not want to meet God in the first movie"
Then just prior to Alien Covenant he added
"You've got to go back and find those engineers and see what they are thinking. If engineers are the forerunners of us, and therefore were creators of life forms in places that were possible for biology to function, who created that? Where's the big boy? You think this was all an accident? I don't know"
I know fans were kind of Disappointed with our Engineers, more so since Alien Covenant and i had been pondering surely there is more Beyond our Engineers and i am thinking of more than the layers of Hierarchy something much more! So i have before looked at what a GOD would be, HOW would Creation had came about... In the Beginning was the WORD after all.
Many Fans may have felt the Franchise has now taken our Engineers further away from the Enigmatic Space Jockey and Derelict, many expected something TRULY ALIEN and while this could be introduced above the Engineers... i have always looked back at the ALIEN poster, what was this EGG it looked different to what we got in the movie and it what was all that Green Stuff? This got me thinking a while ago about CREATION and in some Creation Mythos we have the COSMIC EGG where the Universe was born from a Egg in some Mythos and in others the Gods/Primordial beings came from this Egg and in others the Egg was separated to form the Heavens and Earth.
What a fitting ROLE for the ALIEN poster Egg i thought!
It got me thinking was a Great Galactic Egg the Start of the BIG BANG but then where could this EGG come from? I had ideas this or ONE of these Eggs could be used to Create the Big Bang, or maybe Galaxies and if these Eggs came in different sizes and could be Programed in Different ways to have different effects...
They could Create Galaxies from a Massive Events where the Matter that created these Galaxies came from the Destruction of a Galactic Egg and even smaller Eggs can be Programed to act as a GIANT ATOMIC WEAPONS used to wipe a World Completely Clean. But what if these could be Programed to also TERAFORM Worlds, Programed with the Matter inside to not cause a Nuclear Blast but a smaller event that releases EVERY Building Block to allow Baron Worlds to Become Habitable... much like the Genesis Device in Star Trek 2+3
So we have EGGS of Various Sizes, that can be Programed to cause Different Events... and even that ONE kind of these Eggs can be Planted on a World and it would GROW into the World form Roots... and what IF from this EGG the Creation Tool that is the Substance we see in the Sacrificial Scene is Obtained... or from this Egg can be extracted the Green Yolk which can Harden into like a Solid Shard and so Maybe the Green Crystal in Prometheus is a solidified portion of this Creation Yolk and from it the Creation Goo can be obtained?
Not Sounding too ALIEN YET?

Well ANOTHER Creation Mythos also came to mind...
The WORLD TURTLE which is in many Mythos too.....
So if we have these EGGS... maybe the First Egg created Galactic Turtles? But dont think of just any TURTLE but what if inside we have HUGE Bio-Mechanical Ships that appear to look like Giant Space Turtles and these Turtles can Produce Eggs that can be Programed to Perform various Creation Tasks.
These HR Giger Inspired somewhat Galactic Turtles appear to look like Skeletal Turtles but they are Giant Bio-Mechanical Living Ships and by Giant i am talking maybe DEATH STAR or smaller Sized, but certainly say MILES in size, and i mean HUNDREDS of Miles at the Very Least. The Scope could be anything from say Hundreds of Miles to Thousands, and so Large Enough to even have some of them Carry like Large Continents on their Backs under a Protective Dome.
But its what goes on inside these Monstrous Bio-Mechanical Ships, that could be TRULY ALIEN i IMAGINE not only can they Produce Cosmic Eggs but that they also maybe have Chambers where Organisms are Sacrificed by being connected to Bio-Mechanical Walls and their DNA Extracted and this then is used to Produce Alien Eggs that Hatch Organisms that are Similar to Xenomorphs, well the Xenomorph traces its Ancestry to it maybe the Organism from the Prometheus Fresco? or something Similar and maybe THESE Organisms could be Advanced and Civilized to a Degree like the STARBEAST was intended.
Maybe the Sacrificial Process above where Organisms are Sacrificed for their Genetic Make up to then be used by Giger-esque Pregnant Bellies with maybe Vaginal Openings where the Eggs are laid from? Maybe this whole Sacrificial Process happens on Smaller Ships than the TURTLES but Large Ships None the Less... GROWN inside the TURTLE Ships?
When i look at the Door Ways in PROMETHEUS which is also the same above the MURAL i notice the Head/Face at the Top is somewhat similar to a Turtle Skull and so indeed these Turtle Bio-Mechanical Ships could have Heads like those above the Mural/Door Ways.
I would also be looking to connect the Mural, as in some parts of it at the Top we see what appear to be TWO kinds of Egg Shaped things.
So i think mixing the Cosmic Egg/Turtle Idea, with HR Giger Twist could be a way to get the Origins of the Universe to something VERY Alien and HR Giger we could then Propose a Horrific Agenda for all of this.... one which could see a Hierarchy of Creations where at least we would see some Alien Beings a use of the Starbeast Civilization idea working for a Higher Power, and whom Created the Engineers for a Sacrificial Purpose.
Revealing the Engineers and Space Jockey Races both Stole their Technology from Further up the more Ancient Hierarchy.

Great angle BigDave regarding the "egg".

Biomechanical Factories
This concept described above certainly fits in regards to the mural seen in Prometheus (below) and the turtle-shell-shaped "pyramids" seen on LV-223. I know that you wrote that the biomechanical ships might be miles across but I'm just citing the function of the LV-223 structures seen in the comics and early Giger artwork.

"Chambers where Organisms are Sacrificed by being connected to Bio-Mechanical Walls and their DNA Extracted and this then is used to Produce Alien Eggs that Hatch Organisms that are Similar to Xenomorphs, well the Xenomorph traces its Ancestry to it maybe the Organism from the Prometheus Fresco?"
That above describes a what I would like to see...industrial biomechanical production BigDave. Great description.
Terraforming
I loved the Project Genesis scene in Star Trek 2.
The biomechanical growth is directed by someone/thing (Engineer's superior?) to produce ships and the formations seen on LV-223.
If they are able to produce the Engineer ships and architecture we have seen, then it is easy to assume that they could scale up production to larger products or introduce their biomechanical mutagen to a planet to terraform from the existing resources.
Funny coincidence.
