I think part of the next installment could be about a recovery/recon team that encounters Deacon, while discovering more about the outpost(s)' purpose and the science behind the genetics program. They could also awaken another Engineer(s) in one of the other temple-hangars, resulting in a successful Juggernaut launch (or several), one or more of which could have Deacon/it's offspring (chased away by the recovery team) hiding on board, or some other "accident(s) waiting to happen". The original "Alien" is +/- 30 years later, so one could end up on LV-426 and sew that mystery up nice and neat. The other part could be Shaw reaching another Engineer population center - only an active one this time, infiltrating it and learning about the cultural side. Maybe she could be discovered/captured, or successfully initiate open dialogue, if only for a time. I think there should be at least one more after this one, though. It would consist of Shaw ending up at the Engineer society "core", where she could maybe "self-sacrifice" in an attempt to corrupt the genetics program with her own DNA. Or she might willingly serve as an "Eve" for restoring lost gender-duality to their race, which could work out for everyone, or still accidentally corrupt the system, for a more bleak outcome. There have been questions as to why the Engineers all look male. The Xenos might spring from all that's left of some trace female genetic remains that the Engineers are trying to reconstitute into a procreation-viable gender, through planetary-scale evolutionary crapshoots (e.g., the opening sequence). The Xenos may look similar to the bio-mechanics of the Engineers because they have been able to develop technologically progressive applications for genetic engineering, but only in an increasingly diversive, specific, and mechanical direction, rather than a restorative one. The physiology of the Xeno may simply be the extent of the Engineers' ability to supplement missing information in the genome, and it's all-too-familiar life cycle is the closest thing they can get to actual gestative reproduction without starting from scratch (again, the opening sequence). If they are getting further and further from reaching that goal, the animosity (desperation?) of the LV-223 Engineer would make sense.

I doubt that theory works. I mean if you consider evolution. Humans are branched from common ancestor long time ago. So if we lose the females on our planet we are not going to get the DNA of female croc but the DNA of chimp family which has similar DNA to that of ours and still they are far apart from us in terms of evolution. So that theory looks weak to me. XENO or whatever that thing on wall is - definitely a bio weapon or perhaps seeding weapon of creatures which populate planets by panspermia and then using the species which evolves (like us).
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

My thought was more that the Engineers were able to preserve some small amount of female DNA of their own species, not taking it from any other, even a related one. Also, that this small amount of genetic material happens to dictate some gestative characteristics, but not completely.
