    • Engineers' intentions towards humanityThe Engineers, creators of human life and xenomorphs, hold both in high regard but their intentions towards humanity are unclear, with evidence suggesting both creation and destruction

      The Engineers, an advanced extraterrestrial race, are the progenitors of human life but also the creators of the deadly xenomorphic creatures. They possessed extraordinary abilities in interstellar travel, biotechnology, and genetic manipulation. Their spacesuits were biomechanical, fusing with their bodies and enhancing their appearance. The Engineers held both their own form and strange, dangerous life forms in high regard. However, their intentions towards humanity are unclear, with some evidence suggesting they seeded life on Earth and later attempted to destroy it. The study of their works, including by the android David, has provided valuable insights but also caused destruction. The Engineers' motivations and the reasons for their actions towards humanity remain a mystery, reflecting the complexities of human nature and our own impulses towards creation and destruction.
