leading from
a) After watching the trailer for Sinister II, I began to think about my Alien plot that went via thoughts to do with Ringulien/Aliengu plot since the original Sinister movie had been loosely inspired by Ring.
b) A mysterious transmission and the government are tracking down the signals to see where it comes from, with the intention of retrieving something of interest for them. However it .
c) However it appears to be about cults setting themselves up and creating temples dedicated to a warped biomechanised version of the Henu Barque which is the Ancient Egyptian artifact that inspired the Space Jockey in its seat. (So already Giger has biomechanised the Henu Barque before and created something original out of it, and I'm only using it as an artifact of mystery because of what Giger had used it for.) Perhaps the new versions of the things might be made from wire and paper maché since I watched a video where someone made a brilliant dragon from paper maché. It might be a thought following the way that in Call of the Cthulhu there were all of these various cults being discovered with their alters with Cthulhu idols
d) People are travelling around the place trying to track down the Henu Barques as they suddenly manifest and with each one there's some sort of a strange gift to be found in a time capsule. Perhaps this one turns up in a human settlement filled with Rio De Janeiro styled Favelas, and a death cult serves itself up, and at the core of a cluster of favela buildings a derelict ship interior has begun to form as if it were fusing into the environment. Perhaps a well leads down from a house into a shaft into the pilot chamber and both look as if they were built by the same hand, they can't work out how the house interior has changed, and behind another wall is a space that opens up into a giant cavern where spores are kept, and it would not normally fit into the area. No one can work this out, but they assume that there must have been a cave system that no one knew about.
See: Alien Explorations:
e) What in essence is the nature of the alien?
Personally, after finding that Gustave Meyrink's Golem novel and its illustrations had inspired Giger with his biomechanoid, I started to think that perhaps alien this time comes in the form of a golem of a kind created by an ancient other dimensional being, and perhaps they can reproduce, and if the original golem can be destroyed, then the rest, all the following generations will to be destroyed. What are these golems made from? Clay, wood, stone? Might it just as well be made from paper maché and wire. It might be as terrible as that. What would be the next generation alien, who would care. Before I had the idea that maybe the aliens were created by extra-terrestrial alchemists as a medieval alchemist might have created a homoncule using magic, and the latter might have been a lot more interesting for me, the idea of something magic creating flesh.
I still haven't really found a reason for having aliens in a film, I don't have any inner chest bursters to consider, nor has anyone handed me a copy of something that is supposed to be a study of the actual Necronomicon for me to summon up any inner demons as Alejandro Jodorowsky handed to Dan O'Bannon back in Paris. I don't seem to much material to feed that way of thinking. O'Bannon and Shusett's teamup together created wonderful ideas. But it's terrible to think that poor Dan O'Bannon became a victim of the thing that inspired a crucial scene in Alien that got it noticed and many people do die from it, it has nothing to do with demons coming for their payback but one might romanticize about it in that way. I'm still looking for something idea behind the alien other than the need to stick an alien suit in a movie. Anything approaching a monster ruins the whole idea. Perhaps it's an hallucination of sorts within the architecture.
g) How would the victims become infected since facehuggers and black fluid are old hat?
I keep thinking thought about how the alien might have been something locked away in the Human DNA for millions of years waiting for humans to find something to trigger it off and activate it, as if the human race has been tampered with by an alien intelligence many millions of years ago, and so we are getting into Quatermass And The Pit Territory, but the changes are physical rather than creating strange superhuman powers.

h) Space 1999 related thoughts
In the very odd "Force of Life" or "Force of Evil" episode of Space 1999, shown in 1975 where someone was invaded by a mysterious force and then began to drain energy of people and the moonbased complex, and when they shoot him with their lasers, he is burnt all over to a crisp and his eyes begin to glow, however perhaps due to the bad makeup it looks as if he has begun to mutate into some hideous dark creature looking sloughing off his human skin and transforming into something as ridiculous looking as Doctor Doom from the 2015 Fantastic Four movie. Then he enters one of the power reactors in the complex and the building explodes. I assumed as a child that he was tearing his skin off because he has transformed into something else that was black skinned. This episode gave me a great deal of confusion and perhaps led to nightmares. Probably the bigger shock would be that the man who was taken over by the mysterious force was played by Ian McShane better known for his role in Lovejoy decades later
i) Oddity of the Company of Wolves transformations
Another thing that often grabs me is the transformation sequence from some werewolf films such as Company of Wolves, probably because it looks almost ridiculous, a man's face stretching open to allow a dog or wolf face to come through, and a man rips his face off to allow a clock work dog/ wolf face to begin to extend and this results in something like a skinned barbecued dog snarling away.

j) Recalling the American Werewolf in London transformation
American Werewolf In London had a very interesting transformation scene showing everything happening before the screen in full light with all the limbs deforming, but the actual fur covered creature that it turned into seemed to be of secondary interest

k) Thoughts about another alien creature
However in the last decade, perhaps in line with the Transformers robots idea or perhaps more the fact that there are Giger paintings where there are numerous unidentifiable life forms fused together, I thought about parts of a large creature coming out of various humans and then coming together to form one life form. Then I thought about perhaps something as large as a horse being invaded by all these creatures and having his limbs etcetera being eaten and replaced. There is a parasite that devours its host's tongue and then take over the role of a tongue. Perhaps there were various grinning entities poking their heads out of its carcasses, as if they were small living carved idols grinning away as bizarre as the head of a Pazuzu sculpture.

l) Obviously all the people involved with the Henu Barque must be involved in a ritual of self mutation into something unknown. They are quickly destroyed along with everything in the temple. Questions about where this thing was likely to turn up, would they find unexplainable anomalies and find that the Henu Barque was at the centre of it all. Where else will another Henu Barque turn up, just as at the end of Hellraiser, a Lament configuration turns up out of the blue.
m) When watching the Sinister II trailer, I perhaps was interested in the fact that there was this strange ancient demon interfering with the modern day lives of people and they were doing a serious examination of where this entity came from the history of mankind and then looked for places that the demon might take an interest in later in search for victims . But the story might indeed as the reviews show, not be very good.
