I had a nightmare a few nights ago with regards to Prometheus. It was very intense. Very graphic:
Basically the setup for the scene is this. Several of our crew members are captured by the Space Jockeys. Subjects for
torture and experimentation.
The primary subject of the dream was a man. In the background I could hear another man, and a woman who were slightly ahead in their torture. So no doubt, the subjects fear was only heightened.
So, this man, was slammed against an... Operating table, if you could call it that. The first thing that happens to him is he has a spike of some sort(Its a device of some nature we are not aware of, but for the sake of argument and what it does to the mans neck.. Its a spike.) punched into his neck. Like some kind of a macabre, darkly humerous, Frankenstein neck piece.
Next, the man's ear's are sliced off with some kind of an laser. Leaving only the entry points on either side of his head. This horrific, blood spilling scene is immediately followed by some kind of devices, best I can describe them as is looking like spark plugs with grills on the parts pointing outward, being stabbed through his eyes, and into his brain.
Screaming in a Hellish agony, the man is no longer even forming sentences so much as primal screams that shred his vocal coords. His hearing, and his vision, robbed from him. His feeble attempts to fight off his mutilators are like a baby fighting its parent.
The next thing the Jockeys do is to grab the man's mouth and shove a... "Cage" like device. Its like the spark plugs, only bigger. They shove this into his mouth, smashing his teeth, it fuses his mouth closed, but in a permanently open jawed position. His lips are pulled around the edges, making it tight inside his mouth. As if he had a whole orange inside his mouth. His screams continue: Shrilled, dithered, and somehow mechanized through the mouth piece. Like a elephants trumpet played through intense oscillation.
Lastly, something stabs into his chest, some kind of a biomechanical worm. Doubtless, it will continue this bastardization of a human being from the inside. Replacing pieces of humanity with evil, unknowable, devices. Until he becomes something else.
For now, he will experience all of it.
Later, he will roam the halls of the biomechanoid ship, aware, but without control. Perpetually screaming and suffering behind, and around the implants inside and out.
This inspired me to do a photoshop, and try to depict the final results. I used an image of myself and some Google searches. Its not very good, but I figured someone out there might find this haunting/enjoyable/of interest.
