Maybe Scott made us crazy by saying the ship is called Prometheus and so on making us on a false track to follow.
Or maybe Magellan is the name of the first ship that went in and Prometheus will go after i mean you just cant send a ship in to space and nothing they must have a reason and Magellan may be the reason...
"Infected" may be right. I found the following on Wikipedia:
"Magellan's expedition of 1519–1522 became the first expedition to sail from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean and the first to cross the Pacific. It also completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_MagellanMy guess is that Magellan is the first ship to be sent to make the first contact with something, and for some reason it's unable to return to earth, however during the voyage/expedition, certain info does make it back to earth, hence Prometheus is subsequently commissioned to "Do Something" (investigating or acquiring something or stealing the technology)...lol
And, if I recall the Alien novel correctly, the so called transmitter that makes the 12-second interval signal doesn't seem to belong to the Derelict ship...Later, Ash also tells another crew member of the Nostromo that the "Distress signal" was actually very specific, and almost hostile in nature...emmmmmm I think it kinda ties in to Prometheus story line...
Anyway, this is my first post to the forum...Meanwhile, I hate Ridley S for keeping such a major production in "secret" and at the same time thanking him for such a "secret"...
