I tried to be open minded to it, but this just sounds like what the Queen Mother should have been in the first place being that this role was already designated for her. Reading and influencing minds, having complete control over hives to outright Queens and Empresses, and intelligence that nearly boarders to the closest thing to an eldritch abomination goddess that the series has. Could have just brought that concept back and work from the ground up.
There is also the fact that what does she have to do with the Engineers? Like the Queen Mother could have been the result of rapid evolution that taken it's own violent course and created an actual alien goddess but The Woman in the Dark characterizes her as a being that has been around for eons. Unless this is just another trail that the Engineers never really made the xenos in the first place, stumbled upon them, and exploited them from there?
