Resuming again with this story of a super facehugger being used to feed the "engineer" with oxigen, and I guess I should have come to the conclusion that the being in the suit would barely need any kind of breathing device when he's already inside a suit, a very advanced organic suit (we can pressume), which is supposed to protect him from every kind adverse weather condition, even space (remember the aliens been capable of being even in a vacuum?).
All I can come up with for now is that this engineer, probably born of Noomi Rapace, came to "appreciate" humans during his short life (extremely quick growing process, like the aliens) enough to steal the Derelict ship and Its very particular cargo from the other engineer (engineer which is supposed to be the bad guy whose DNA was supposedly mixed with every single egg aboard?), then scaped that terraformed planet we see in the trailer, thus violating the orders of the gods of destroying humanity; then he got his "punishment" coming from the gods in the middle of Its flight, got facehugged (but how, and where did that fucking big thing came from..., from the very chair perhaps?, was that a "goodbye gift" courtesy of the other enginner?), and had to crash-land the ship in the nearest planet available before he died by "chestbursting". Then he (ok the suit) got fossilized while bound to the chair with the time. (like Prometheus being bound to the rock by Zeus).
If that so, then some question rise inevitably:
- Who are the Gods?, are they the true space jockeys?, do they give their own tech and tools to their "engineers" (I'd say "hard workers") to terraform planets, or erase entire civilizations (like I guess they are gonna try with humanity in this film by using the aliens, but the good engineer screws their plans eventually by scaping with the derelict).
- It's heavily implied that these "engineers" are parasitical, like the aliens, born of a host but with the difference they don't kill such host (because their goal is not to kill but spreading life but terraforming, not finishing life like the aliens). Then their growing proccess is as fast as for the aliens, with the final goal of terraforming (doing good and spreading life, the opposite thing to what aliens were supposedly created for). So..., If these Gods give their "engineers" all of their tech and tools (derelict ships for example) to complete their "doing", no matter It is terraforming or erasing life forms, then...
- Are the engineers the very gods that need a host to be born?, are they the "good side" of the gods, and the aliens are the very same but being the "bad side" this time?.
Ah man this is the kind of film that let you speculate like crazy and let your mind fly, just what the good old school science fiction was made for, like alien or blade runner.

. There are many things about Blade Runner that will be open to speculation forever, such is the subject you are touching right now, though I don't think he was a Replicant to be honest.
