Titan Civilization

In the original Prometheus narrative, the technological capabilities of both human and Titan spaceships appeared limited, especially considering the two-year journey from Earth to their destination. The absence of warp speed technology for interstellar navigation seemed impractical, risking civilization's efficiency and potential resource depletion during the extended travel.

Contrastingly, Krypton spacecraft showcased advanced technology, surpassing warp speed through the use of small wormholes and bending space. Despite this superiority, Varion opted against these advanced technologies for the scientific research vessel, emphasizing the importance of replenishable energy and the creation room.

"Mousse, assess our weaponry and the Titans' technology."

"Commander, based on the provided data, Titans' technology currently surpasses ours. However, considering the significance of the scientific research vessel, I recommend destroying them first and then proceeding with plundering."

Varion frowned, "Direct destruction?"

"Yes, sir. The importance of the scientific research vessel demands precision."

"Let's discuss this upon arrival!"

Analyzing the star map of the archaeological site on Earth, Varion believed the Titans' outpost shouldn't pose a significant threat. The Titans had fallen victim to their biochemical virus, leaving only one survivor dormant. Aliens, as a species, fascinated him.

The film's narrative, however, disrupted established lore, attributing the origins of aliens to Titan cultivation rather than the Predators. There might be communication between the Predators and Titans, considering their shared interstellar civilization roots.

Two weeks later, the scientific research vessel arrived at the target star field, with the planet below as their destination.

"Commander, we've arrived."

"Any signs of activity?"

"No signs detected, but a location in the middle of the planet shows numerous spaceships. It appears to be a military base."

"Descend!"

The spacecraft entered the planet's atmosphere and headed towards the identified base.

"Mousse, what's the planet's environment like?"

"Gravity is similar to Earth, but the air's oxygen content is low. This planet seems to have been a green life planet, but it's dying. Likely due to a virus from the Titans, wiping out the civilization that once existed here."

Interestingly, the appearance of aliens had no impact on the planet's vegetation. The mystery deepened as they landed the scientific research vessel with a resounding thud.

Outside, expansive prototype structures loomed, resembling buildings but concealing a secret. These massive prototypes were not constructed; rather, they were the result of accumulated sand and gravel over time. Two colossal structures, appearing like walls, stood in the open space, revealing themselves as a hidden part of a spaceship.

"Sir, the spaceship is underground here."

Varion acknowledged with a nod, "I see, tell them to proceed."

The 180 Kryptonians, accompanied by Varion, soared out of the scientific research vessel, heading directly towards the towering prototype structures. An entrance awaited them, concealed within the colossal formations.

"Sir, this is the energy vent of the spacecraft, providing access to the interior."

"Very well, maintain surveillance."

"Commander, let's proceed!" S1 gestured, leading the group forward.

The explorers found themselves surrounded by black walls made of an unfamiliar alloy, untouched by rust despite the passage of many years. 

S1's heat ray disintegrated a heap of stones, creating a path. After half an hour, Titan inscriptions and various artifacts started to appear.

"Mousse, locate the main control room of the spacecraft."

A 3D structure diagram of the spaceship materialized on everyone's glasses, and a red dot marked the main control room.

"Hold on."

Approaching a substantial number of Titan corpses on the ground, missing their heads, likely caught in the doors during their escape, Varion contemplated.

"Mousse, can you decipher the Titan's text?"

"Insufficient data, but once in the main control room, I may connect to the spacecraft and decode the language."

With determination, Varion moved forward. Titan corpses littered the path, fallen during an attempted escape. Some Titans seemed to be undergoing mutation.

The bodies, towering at least three meters high, hinted at immense strength, and their super abilities remained a mystery.

Outside the main control room, a massive door blocked their way.

"Mousse, any solutions?"

"No sir, the entire ship is offline. I can't connect, and the Titan text data is too limited for decoding."

A dilemma arose. Varion didn't want to harm the living Titan inside the grounded spaceship, as it held valuable research material. However, gentle attempts wouldn't grant access.

Frowning, Varion commanded, "S1, breach it."

The group stepped back, Gauss rifles aimed at the colossal gate, unleashing a series of shots. !

After sustained gunfire, the gate exhibited damage, surprising the team. The material's resilience explained why the protagonists in the original story could crash their ship into the Titan spaceship without causing significant harm.

Finally, in the fifth round, a hole emerged in the giant gate. Lacking energy protection, the strength of the material alone endured the assault.

"Let's go in!"

Having breached the obstacle, the group entered the main control room. The vast space, adorned in black, felt somber, with a few chairs scattered around.

This must be the control center for the Titans' spacecraft. Currently, the priority is to figure out how to activate the spacecraft.

"Go and investigate those dormant storage units."

S1 gestured, prompting a thorough examination. Varion observed the surroundings, realizing that the original play seemed to require a flute-shaped object for activation. It felt a bit comical, and voice control seemed oddly low.

Squatting in front of what resembled a seat, Varion focused, making a pitch-black flute hover in the air. Could this be the key?

Drawing air through the flute, a sound echoed. Varion opted not to blow it with his mouth, considering the Titans' peculiar preferences.

Lights pierced the darkness, forming 3D patterns. It was a star map, catching Varion's interest. The Titan civilization seemed advanced, hinting at a vast expanse.

Seeing tense expressions on S1 and others, Varion reassured them, "Don't be nervous; it's just star maps. Mousse, begin connecting the spacecraft!"

"Alright, sir. It might take 20 minutes to fully crack."

Approaching with a serious gaze, S1 informed, "Commander, we found signs of life in one dormant chamber. What should we do?"

Varion's eyes lit up, "Let's check it out."

Only five dormant chambers remained. The Titans in others had perished, but the one in front was alive.

"Hello, Titans."

"Return to the scientific research facility. Once Mousse decrypts the Titan civilization data, instill it immediately and search the base for anything useful."

"Yes, sir."

Varion observed the Titans—large bodies, hairless, eerie in appearance. Under scrutiny, the Titans seemed devoid of secrets.

"These beings could be ideal for experiments," Varion mused.

Unfortunately, the Titan had already been claimed by Varion before waking.

Bored, Varion heard Mousse's voice, "Sir, it's decrypted."

"What are you waiting for? Initiate the spacecraft."

"Sir, Chief S1 said it won't start until they arrive, considering this isn't our territory."

S1's caution was considerate. After a wait, the S1 team returned.

"Sir."

Varion nodded, "Alright, start it! Let's unravel the secrets of this Titan civilization."

An electric surge emerged from the wall. Astonishingly, the spaceship, after nearly two thousand years, still had ample energy, functioning normally.

The spacecraft lifted off. Massive holes appeared on the ground, transforming the once-flat surface into uneven terrain.

"Mousse, what did you discover?"

"Sir, the Titan civilization originated from the sun star. The nearest recorded base is 30,000 light-years away, at the Milky Way's edge. The civilization follows the biotechnology route, favoring stability. There's no record of the parent star's location."

Varion realized why there were no weapons. This civilization favored a methodical approach in war—introduce the virus, let the population perish, and then take over their planet.

"So, what's their connection with human civilization in this world?"
