When going to see the Engineer, David was asked by Shaw about the Engineers carrying bioweapons, at which point David explained his patricidal outlook, reasoning that destruction was a form of creation and that all creations yearned to see their creators dead. After waking the creature and attempting to speak to it in a language it would understand, David was at first in awe, believing that the Engineer was humbled to meet him.
He was proven sorely wrong when it decapitated him and killed the others, with the exception of Shaw, who managed to escape during the massacre. Despite being decapitated, David was still able to function, saying goodbye to his dying "father," and warned Shaw that the Engineer was pursuing her.
After Shaw survived her battle with the Engineer, David assured her that it was possible for her to escape the planet, but only if she brought him with her, as only he could navigate the alien craft. Although Shaw agreed to accept his help, she insisted that instead of Earth, they must go to find the homeworld of the Engineers.
After retrieving David's body, Shaw stuffed David's head in a duffel bag, and the two departed in one of the Engineers' ships to find the Engineer homeworld. Eventually, Shaw was able to successfully reattach David's head to his body. The two were successfully able to locate the Engineer's homeworld before Shaw entered one of the ship's hypersleep chambers. David told her he would wake her upon their arrival, using the duration of the voyage to further study the Engineers.
Upon arriving at their homeworld, David — having come to the conclusion that the Engineers and humans were equally inferior to androids — used the ship's armory of Steatite Ampules to wipe out the Engineer civilization on Planet 4, unloading them on the unsuspecting masses.
Following the Chemical AX. At some point he killed Shaw, conducting experiments on her dissected corpse while building a grave and mourning her death.
Through experimentation on hybridizing the creatures formed from the mutagen, David created several large eggs but was stalled in his research, needing a living host to serve as an incubator for his creation.
When the USCSS Covenant arrived on the planet, David intervened to drive off a juvenile Neomorph and led the survivors to his base, forming a bond with Walter, a later-generation android. When the Neomorph infiltrated the temple, David approached it and attempted to communicate with it, but it was killed by Chris Oram. Enraged, David took Oram to his laboratory and explained his research, then tricked him into activating an Ovomorph.
Following the birth of a prototypical variant of Xenomorph, dubbed the Praetomorph, David attacked Daniels , expressing the intent of doing to her what he had done to Shaw, but was confronted by Walter. This story is about Peter Weyland trying to steal the secret of immortality from the gods, but all humanity will pay the price by having everything ripped out :- I don't know why David poisoned Holloway but I think it might be possible that liquids from Holloway's dead body were going to be used to rejuvenate Weyland.
The need for this changes when Weyland learns that one of he engineers is still alive. He has been programed with scientific curiosity, but not with morals. So using a human as test subject for the mysterious substance is just logical for him. This mission from a scientific point-of-view was very disorganized. There wasn't any preparation for alternatives.
Vickers stated that Weyland wanted a "true Believer" on board. David took what he knew to the site- which was quite a lot, and initially saw no evidence of what he had been preparing for. He soon determined that the "faith" part wasn't going to pay off as Weyland believed hoped it would. The answer "Anything and everything" relieved David of guilt enough to risk Holloway and the other crew Weyland too? Movie Buff Ovomorph Member 0 XP Jun PM This is an easy one Weyland was obviously on the ship for immortality David saw this Black liquid as a possibility for immortality so he tested his theory on a subject that he disliked ,this wasn't to outright kill him he did this to test the liquid and if it went wrong it was only a small loss for him.
This one wasn't a very hard one to figure out. It's plainly obvious When Weyland appears in the hologram he states he has days to live and throughout the movie we discover he seeks the key to life itself. Before Weyland is revived we catch the end of a longer, secret conversation between Weyland and David.
It is obvious to me that David is preprogrammed to carry out his instructions whenever he comes into contact with anything that may fulfill his quest, like opening the door without permission, secretly aquiring the black goo and infecting Holloway. He quite simply infects Holloway to test the effects of black goo, he is against the clock so no time for lengthy tests Weyland has days to live!!
He seemed to have an appreciation for the line, "The trick is not minding that it hurts. I think it was davids way of looking for 'consent' so to speak for his actions. If i remember correctly david said to hollaway " how far would you go to get what you are looking for", hollaway said " i would do anything" thats when david gave him the drink. I also believe that hollaway saw david put his finger in his drink. He probably just thought it was a 'challenge' or he saw it as an insult.
He then thought he wouldnt let davids wee attempt insulting phrase him, so he just drank the drink. That he survives the movie, purely from a plot driven perspective, evidences that he has more to reveal.
As regarding the 'insults' being a motive, that's interesting although I dont believe it was a motive in itself, that the movie highlights this tension and shows it to be at least a part cause poisoning points to some resemblance to reasoning beyond what David should be able to engage in. David certainly has an internal mind which Weyland does not intend to exist as it is beyond davids functions.
I honestly dont think enough has been made about the very strong linking of david to Lawrence of arabia. This 'great purpose' is what i believe motivates David. Simply, we do not know the motive There are too many different perspectives its impossible to guess. David is equally 'Alien'. Log in to Post. Log In. AliensVersus Predator. More New Topics.

Does the miracle medicine pod double as some kind of strength-endowing, pain-suppressing supercharger? This is certainly one of the known unknowns that Scott and Lindelof are concealing in expectation of a sequel.
If we're right that the engineers created life on earth, why would they now want to destroy it? Could it be that old chestnut about mankind evolving to the stage of being a threat to other lifeforms in the universe? A friend of mine suggests that the engineer from the prologue was in fact a rogue operator whose fellow engineers are belatedly trying to undo his handiwork — a neat theory that resonates with the original Prometheus myth.
Ancient extraterrestrials kick-start life on earth with some sort of apparently animate black goo as its vehicle; humans decode signs from ancient and indigenous art and artefacts; there are big round spaceships buried underground that heave out of the earth at inopportune moments; super-rich, super-selfish humans try to manipulate the situation for their own gain even as the fate of mankind is in jeopardy … Much of this will be familiar to viewers of The X-Files — who will probably have been grateful for something familiar to orient themselves around amid all the other uncertainties.
As for whether the truth about Prometheus is out there, we'll have to watch the skies. Or at least the box office for the prospect of a sequel …. Prometheus: what was that about? Ten key questions. Ridley Scott's return to the Alien universe has left a lot of people scratching their heads. It's up to Ben Walters to set off on an exploratory voyage into the film's great unknowns. There are answers in there somewhere Photograph: AP.
Spoilers abound, of course, and we're frankly as stumped as you - so do chip in in the comments … 1. What's going on in the prologue? That's an alien creating life on earth, right? How did the constellation get onto all those ancient cave paintings and artefacts? And why would the engineers provide a map anyway?
Why would a crew of off-the-street technicians and world-renowned scientists take a years-long trip into deep space without knowing what they were getting themselves into? Why does the black goo affect different people in different ways?
