This “Expedition Animatic“ Conceptualization by Ilya V. Abulkhanov is likely part of the Original Story of Destiny before a lot got changed after the firing of Lead Writer Joe Staten. The mysterious female entity that the cosmonauts encountered on Mars was wiped from the story. She bears similarities to the Awoken or the Emissary or the Nine. Allan McKay has said that the female is a “Witch“. Check the comments for a link where he talks a little about this original opening. You can find even more detailed images farther along than these storyboard style drawings here: As for this video, you can find the original here on Vimeo:
