In the closing moments of the film, we see a new alien burst from the Engineer’s chest. Later in the film, a squid alien (officially known as a Trilobite) has grown considerably larger than the Engineer it captures, and ends up parasitically infecting the Engineer as well. In a horrifically memorable scene, Elizabeth is forced to have an automated Cesarean section to remove it (without anesthesia). After Charlie makes love to his wife Elizabeth, he unknowingly passes on an infection of a squid-like alien.
David, an android with mysterious motivations, inexplicably infects shipmate Charlie (Logan Marshall-Green) with a small drop of the black goo in his drink (it seems David, an artificial creation, has an interest in becoming a creator himself). Not until the closing moments of Prometheus did we even understand how the events from the film tied into the Alien universe. After learning the Engineer’s plan, Shaw and David set off in a space ship for the Engineer’s home world in an attempt to understand why they wanted to destroy the human race that they themselves had created.ĭifferent types of Aliens are created after cross-species infections. Let’s go back even further, and look at how Prometheus began: After coordinates to a distant planet were discovered in cave paintings around the world, the voyage of Prometheus was commissioned by the elderly and terminally ill Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), in a attempt to speak to his creators, and as a last-ditch effort to learn the secret to immortality. Weyland failed, and he and entire crew of Prometheus were killed, except for Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and the severely damaged android, David (Michael Fassender) - whom, by the way, Weyland himself created. The survivors of the Prometheus went off to find the Engineers at the end of the film.
