He dies in the process. Many thousands of years later, two archeologists discover cave paintings* inviting them to a planet. They tell Weyland, who leaps on it as a way to prolong his life by asking help from humanity's creators, and who funds the mission. They all truck off to the planet and discover an Engineer ship. All the Engineers are dead, killed by Aliens of various kinds, except one. Robot David comes up with an intricate plot involving stealing a casket from the Engineer ship, retrieving a worm from it, slipping the worm into someone's drink with the hope that they will then have sex with someone before they die thus impregnating that woman with a giant octopus which she'll give birth to, and which will then consequently attack and impregnate an Engineer, resulting finally in an Alien bursting from his chest at the end of the movie.** Robot David then wakes the Engineer, who kills a bunch of people incuding Weyland. The archeologist runs away. The captain of Prometheus figures this isn't the Engineer's home world, that the caskets of alien stuff are a weapon, and that the Engineer ship is off to kill humanity. So he crashes Prometheus into it. Engineer chases archeologist, gets killed and impregnated by the octopus she gave birth to. The archelogist decides she wants to know why the Engineers created them, invited them, then at some point changed their minds and decided to wipe them out. So she steals another ship, form the planet, of wich there are apparently many, and heads off to the Engineer's home world in order to ask them. Familiar Alien bursts out of Engineer who was impreganted by Octopus. Did I get that right?    *Question 1: who painted them? The Engineer who died kickstarting humanity? Humans over the next 35,000 years (and in that case where did they get the info?) **Question 2: WTH? Who came up with that plan?</blockquote>
