Some food for thought after watching promethus
Although the movie itself was fascinating, I think it left FAR too much space for imagination.. Most definitely there will be a sequel to this.
After doing some reading, it looks like what happened to the derelict ship that force landed on LV-426 dont have much relevance to the one in LV-223.
However what it does tells us is that the "Engineers" have been working on bio weapons. The first of its kind, or maybe the "previous" kind like the ones found in the alien movie i.e. egg/need human/biological host/spawn xenomorph. In promethus, it looks like the eggs are replaced with those Urn looking objects that storage the black goo.
Now instead of requiring a biological host or anything like that, the black goo is all it is needed. Like a bacteria, or some sort of disease that infects the living environment where you either die or mutate several times til eventually reaching the xenomorph state (or something similiar). So applying this to planets would be far easier to exterminate any sort of lifeforms compared to their previous bio weapon.
Its interesting to note that alien carving when they entered that room, you can see on the bottom right hand corner of a facehugger implanting its load to something that looked like a humanoid, where as on the left hand corner you see the humanoid struggling against the facehugger. That carving at the back, if zoomed out looks like an alien egg.
Anyway, why they created it, and what were they intending to do with it is another question..
And for the ship that landed in LV-426, it looks like it crash landed there along time ago since you can observe how the spacejockey's remains (suit) and the chair fossilised together.
