They travel down there to find a long-dead Engineer in his "Space Jockey" suit and a cargo hold full of eggs like the ones David engineered. How exactly this links up is currently uncl...
Conventionally, after the events of Alien come Aliens, Alien 3 and (much later) Alien: Resurrection, although it's not actually been made clear whether these are part of the new timeline.
