MemberOvomorphDec-21-2012 8:35 AMJust a thought I had about why the Gods and or Engineers are no longer around. Maybe the "humans on earth" project broke the bank, and all the engineers went the way of the Mayans. It must be expensive to create a planet. Our creators just went bankrupt.

MemberOvomorphDec-21-2012 8:58 AMOne other thing I noticed about the Mural in the head chamber on the ceiling. Maybe that mural of the engineer, and the creature next to him is a early version of us with our creator. I believe creating a race of beings on earth for whatever reason was incredibly expensive, and if the project failed, well who knows what the financial ramification would have been on the creators. Was God a failed corporation.

MemberFacehuggerDec-21-2012 10:07 AMThe sacrificial Engineer was paying his taxes, Engineer-style!
Bank of LV-223 was behind the funding of the Drednaught on LV-426 & lost their shirts in the deal, but were bailed out by Weyland Industries!

MemberFacehuggerDec-21-2012 10:14 AMI wonder if the black goo in the urns is a form of currency? That would put a strange twist on things.
I can't think of any off hand, but has anyone ever really done a sci fi, horror , thriller, bank job film? a sort of Reservoir Xeno's

Or even a form of Blackmail to bring other worlds discovered by the Engineer(I am assuming that they did not create the Universe!) into agreement with the Engineers' vision of the known world might be possible.

MemberOvomorphDec-21-2012 11:05 AMWell, they say money is the root of all evil.
The black goo gave us Cuddles, Zombield, Hammerpedes ....
It could be a candidate for currency.
The whole point of this is lost if you keep it a secret.
