The reason the Promethius is pulled back in time is simply because they stumble into, or trigger the Engineers time well. Theres no great welcome upon arrival at Zeta R.
Prior to arrival at Zeta R only a skeleton crew are awakened. This allows the company to keep anything discovered classified if needed. This skeleton crew are the ones that will explore the planet at the other end of the time well. The women in charge of this mission to Zeta R demands that the rest of the crew remain in sleep upon exit from the time well. There may still be things that need to be classified. A drop ship is launched with a small group of explorers.
They find a large, dark & forboding mystery ahead. Stangley, all scans detect no life. One member of the crew theorises that this place is a ancient ET structure matching the artifacts found upon Earth. The female Leader, orders a full investigation.
Exploring the entrance reveals cut stone blocks similar to those found back on Earth dating 1000s of years. An entrance ahead, open, ahead dark and complex structures. Silent, disturbing but wonderful. Heat is detected and builds up in certain parts of this complex. Following this heat signature they find the Head structure. They collect HURNS and turn to leave. following the tunnels to the exit. One crew member who has worked out the secret of these HURNS passes an ENGINEER structure. It reaches out and collects the hurn then pours part of it onto the crew member. The others return to find him screaming with nothing else around. They flee in terror alerting the drop ship that they have a casualty. The wounded crew member and HURNS are taken back to Promethius.
Whilst one HURN is studied all other crew awake and turn to their tasks & operations - HIGH ALERT. The injured crew man is monitored and found to have been exposed to some form of natural pollution. He quickly regains his senses, and tries to piece together what happened. His memory seems lost has he develops a severe cold like illness. Coughing, sweating. Nothing can be found as the crewmans body seems in good function. They joke that hes caught an alien cold. Hes allowed to return to his partner and they sleep together.(his partner is the female leader of this expedition.)
Soon, many others are displaying the mild cold symptons and treat it as sleep sickenss.(The crewman was handled with a damaged helmet as he was taken to the doctors.)
With alot of garbled systems still reacting to the time well - the Promethius is cut off in areas still requiring good old fashioned walks to certain areas. Soon reports of ill people reach command. People start disappearing from duties.
The drop ship crew are told to stand by and remain upon the surface.
Reports of crewmen atacking each other are reported within the Promethius. Armed security seek out this threat and find slim and hideous human forms feeding on the dead. These intruders still retain part of their human ability and can unlock doors, use computers and pick up and use guns. Bullets, electricity and fire are used to combat this menace.
A war breaks out inside Promethius as the leader, infected android and several personel flee to the planets surface. Several missing crew are traced via DNA and found to be inside the temple. Several of the new drop ship crew move from duties and head for the temple. The original infected crewmember leaps from above a transporter and infects two others. Flamethrowers are now used to clean the drop port. Again, the wounded are taken into care.
The group returning to the temple fall into trance and meet a female structure similar to the HEAD only more horrid. It speaks to them and offers eternal existence for a simple service in return. The DNA traces previously sensed now manifest
Prometheus alerts the drop port that agressions have stopped. No crew remain and the intruder is dying rapidly.
Back on the planet the female leader snarls realising it was all a trap.
A battle rages inside drop port against more of these ugly forms. Drop port is crippled and later destroyed to kill the enemy.
Two women remain.
Trapped.
