Snorkelbottom's Paradise - Prometheus 2

Everyone else seems to be doing it, so here is my take on the sequel to Prometheus. Firstly instead of one overdrawn plot the sequel should have three plots running in unison, one of which is confined to this sequel, the other two of which would carry over into another sequel. The first standalone storyline of the sequel... [center][u]The USCSS Pandora[/u][/center] 2097, Zeta II Reticuli, LV-223. The USCSS Pandora, a Yutani Corporation vessel has been ordered by the ICC to investigate the true fate of the USCSS Prometheus which failed to return home when scheduled (21/01/2095). After a nine month flight time the Pandora approaches LV-223 before its resident AI, MU-TH-UR, awakens the crew, composed of military and scientific personnel. After briefly having breakfast and getting to know the crew the Pandora sets down on Lv-223 landing infront of wreckage of the crashed Juggernaut and Vickers' lifeboat. A list of events I would imagine happening in this storyline... - The crew of the Pandora activating the Orrery, discovering a moon in the same system they are in, flashing red in the Orreries holographic display (LV-426's beacon). - The Deacon aboard the Juggernaut, abducting a crew-member of the Pandora and turning them into an egg, hatching from within - a Royal Facehugger (A La Alien 3). - The crew of the Pandora uncovering that the Engineers have been using the Alien/Xenomorph for thousands of years to harvest genetic material from the children they sired throughout the galaxy millions of years ago. Now to the storylines that would carry on into the third film... [center][u]Corporate Entanglement[/u][/center] 2097, Weyland Corporation Towers, London, Earth. A group of Japanese businessmen/women arrive in the foyer, are silently greeted and enter an elevator. They exit the elevator into a vast boardroom overlooking london. Looking out of the window at the far end of the boardroom with their back to the camera is the current CEO of Weyland Corp. They do greet there Japanese guests. A Weyland employee motions the Japanese representatives to take their seats, an old, well dressed Japanese man (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) sits in the end seat directly opposite the unknown Weyland CEO, whom is still looking out the window, their hands held behind their back. Once the Japanese guests are seated the windows become tinted and the room brightens. The Weyland CEO, their face unseen sits in their leather chair opposite the old Japanese man, slides their chair towards the table and places their hands, held together on the desk. Camera moves up to reveal Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) as she welcomes her guest "Greetings, Mr. Yutani." The scenes of this storyline would play out like a corporate game of poker, ultimately leading to the merger of the two companies by the end of the third and final Prometheus movies. These scenes be scarce and scattered throughout the movie, underlining certain aspects of the storyline of the other two storylines. In total these scenes would make up very little screen time in total (15-20 minutes maximum). [center][u]Questions[/u][/center] A Juggernaut craft slows to a stop approaching a vast nebula. Inside an elephantine humanoid figure seated inside a vast cannon shaped chair reaches to the panel before them at the base of the cannon like structure, pressing small rubbery globes, before pressing similar globes on a panel beside them on the seats side. With a hiss the features of the elephantine creature unfold, retract revealing itself to be a suit covering its pilot... David. David climbs out of the huge chair, and walks through the corridors of the craft whistling before appraoching a Weyland Corporation hyper-sleep pod wired up to a pulsating tower deep within the craft. ... After awkening from hyper-sleep Shaw joins David as he returns to the seat and pilots the Juggernaut through the nebula. Breaking through the swirling clouds and raging thunderstorms of the nebula the Juggernaut is greated with an epic view, almost beyond comprehension... Adjacent to the centre of the nebula, and sucking the material from it is a vast piece of rotating cylindrical machinery. The material being extracted from the nebula is being fed into a second device comprised of multiple spinning rings, spinng around each and creating an intense magnetic field shaping and squeezing the material from the nebula into an artificial sun. Extending out from the cylindrical device are long biomechanical tentacles, slowly spinning around the artificial star, below the end of each tentacle a long rod extending into spinning atificial planets, their natural looking surfaces concealing the biomechanical workings beneath the crust. Some planets still in a state of construction. Below the artificial sun of this vast biomechinal orrery is a long spire reaching downwards, sheilded from the heat of the star above it by a vast cup of metal. Attached to the spire are hundreds, if not thousands of Juggernauts, each with its arms wrapped around the long spire. This storyline would obviously be Shaw and David meeting the Engineers and their elders, seeking the answers to Shaws, and ultimately the audiences questions. Ideally the natural of the answers would only be partial, with the grand reveal of the Engineers goals being revealed in the third movie of the trilogy.
