What The Engineers Were REALLY Running From On LV-223 and Why They Wanted To Destroy All Human Life
Finally, the truth is known!!!!
2000 years ago, some very hungry Engineers passing by Earth on a space voyage decided to get some 'takeout' food. They swung low over Central America and beamed up some enchiladas and frijoles being offered on a sacrificial altar by the ancient peoples there. Putting the food in stasis, they hurried back to their home base on LV-223.
Ravenous & excited to be eating the delicious-looking food, the entire base population tore into the meal. Afterwards, they sat back & relaxed, sated and content. Six hours later, Montezuma's Revenge hit......BAD.
There was only one bathroom facility on the base, and realizing their plight, the Engineers all made a mad dash for it. Unfortunately, there were only four toilets inside, and the first four Engineers to get to the bathroom, sealed the door behind them. The Engineers outside, unable to release their bowels, suffered diarrhea explosions, some explosions tearing through their chests, some blowing off their heads.
After hours on the toilet, the four surviving Engineers recovered. They deduced that the Earthlings had intentionally offered tainted food to their gods, the Engineers. Enraged, they decided to destroy all humans on Earth. But being groggy from their ordeal, they mistakenly programmed their hibernation capsules for an undetermined sleep period.
2000 years later, the Prometheus landed on LV-223, and the rest is history. No wonder the sole remaining Engineer was so pissed when he woke up!!
