Main mission: Obtain a facehugger.
Side mission: Ensure Elizabeth Xiao survives.
Mission Difficulty: Normal.
Basic reward:?
Failure penalty: Lose money when you leave.
Can you give up the task: at any time.
Time limit: TBD.
Putting aside the undetermined time limit and losing money when you go out, these two settings that make you want to complain, the main mission and the side mission are completely contradictory tasks.
"Prometheus", as a prequel to "Alien", does not have the concept of facehuggers. It was not until the storyline of "Alien: Covenant" that David cultivated a facehugger on the planet where the Engineers lived after killing Elizabeth Shaw. Preserve the eggs of the facehugger.
If the story line is advanced according to the plot of the movie, to complete the main task, sacrificing Elizabeth Xiao is the best choice, but the side task must ensure her survival. If you want to complete both tasks, you need to consider the long term.
After taking a shower, Lin Yue came out of the shower room, found the cabinet where the crew's clothes were placed, took out a set of work clothes with the Weyland Group armband and put them on, left the dormant cabin, went to the activity room in the lower area of the spacecraft via the elevator, and played alone. After playing basketball for a while, I felt like my body was being activated, along with an uncontrollable sense of hunger.
After casually taking a shower and coming to the restaurant, David sat on a chair next to the dining table with a bowl of oatmeal paste and a glass of blueberry juice in front of him.
Lin Yue started the heating program for frozen vegetables, took out a cup and took a cup of coffee, and made a butter sandwich. He walked to sit opposite David with the dinner plate, forked a piece of carrot and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You have been dormant for one year, four months and eighteen days. You should eat some liquid and high-calorie foods, which will help your health."
Lin Yue picked up the coffee and took a sip: "It's hard to change if you're used to it."
David was puzzled and looked at him blankly.
As an old employee who has served the Welland Group's aviation division for almost ten years, he has flown dozens of long-distance missions. He should have adapted to life on the spacecraft long ago. Now he does not follow the experience of his predecessors when choosing standard meals. He even said that habits die hard. What did he mean?
Lin Yuexin said that you just couldn't understand. He didn't bother with the cyborg on this matter, and glanced at the PDA placed in the middle of the table.
"What are you looking at?"
"The Truman Show." David turned the PDA and pointed the screen at Lin Yue.
"Why did you choose this movie?"
"have no idea."
Do you really not know?
Lin Yue sneered. In fact, as soon as David was born, there was an attempt to think about it.
who I am? Where am I from? What am I going to do?
The room where Weyland was talking to him contained a throne, a piano, an oil painting, and Michelangelo's statue of David. Weyland examined David from three aspects: ideals, art, and religious beliefs, and finally came to the conclusion The result is that he has no soul.
Yet David gave his Creator a powerful counterattack. He can learn and be immortal, but not Wayland.
There is a saying that if something is lacking, the more emphasis is placed on it. Weilan's life is not long, so he tries every possible means to find Prometheus in his heart and seek the way to immortality. As for David, he wants to gain souls through learning---learn the basis of dialogue, emotion and behavior of those in the movie, and even pry into Elizabeth Shaw's dreams for this purpose.
"David, send me a copy of the information you studied on ancient Egyptian, Harappan and other ancient civilization languages."
David looked at him and tried to make a human expression of doubt: "Mr. Lin, as far as I know you are the mechanic of the Prometheus. I don't understand why you are interested in the language of ancient civilizations."
"I want to take a refresher course on human history, can't I?"
"Of course." David took the PDA and clicked a few times on the touch panel: "I have already transferred the data to the computer terminal in your room."
"Very good." Lin Yue drank the coffee in the cup, picked up a piece of tissue and wiped his mouth, got up and walked to the crew living room.
"Mr. Lin, your current style is very different from the description in the crew file."
Lin Yue stopped, turned around and said, "How does the crew file describe me?"
David said: "There are nine records of drinking during working hours in your file, and there is also a report of a conflict with star port personnel that resulted in minor injuries. Ravi's description of you is vulgar, and Captain Janik also expressed his opinion of your work attitude. have opinions."
"People change."
The hatch opened, the hatch closed, and Lin Yue's figure disappeared into the restaurant.
David took a few more bites of oatmeal, stood up, and walked toward the bridge.
Lin Yue came to the crew living room, entered his own room, turned on the computer terminal on his desk, and the probe shot out two cross-rays of light, outlining a picture in mid-air. He could choose from a variety of ancient civilization languages to learn.
Before starting to browse the content, he clicked on the system space and pulled down the menu to the character attribute bar.
Name: Lin Yue.
Race: human.
Current properties:
Physique 17.
Power 27.
Agile14.
Intelligence 12.
Spirit 10.
Unassigned attribute points remaining: 6
As he adds 2 points each to intelligence and spirit, intelligence comes to 14, spirit comes to 12, and the remaining unallocated attribute points drop to 2.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Although he woke up a year in advance, after careful calculation, there was still not enough time to learn an ancient civilization language, not to mention which ancient civilization language matched the symbols of the engineer base.
To further improve learning efficiency, adding points to intelligence and spirit is a good choice.
Next, he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and clicked on the virtual keyboard on the desktop. The device projected slates one by one, with the characters, pronunciations and meanings on the surface of the slates marked in detail.
Lin Yue began to compare and screen carefully.
one day.
Two days.
Three days.
…
On the fifteenth day, he finally found the Sumerian language that was very consistent with the symbols used by the engineers, and then systematically studied the history, archaeological achievements, customs, calendar, etc. of the Sumerian civilization.
David originally thought that Lin Yue would not be able to bear the lonely and long journey after waking up, and would take the initiative to enter the hibernation cabin after a month at most. However, he was wrong. Apart from occasional exchanges, the mechanic with a poor reputation did not When I returned to the dormant cabin, I didn't communicate with him too much. Most of the time, I locked myself in the crew living room. Occasionally, I would say a few words to him in the Sumerian language. It was obvious that the practice was mostly meaningful.
He took a keen interest in him and began to pay attention to his behavior.
This process lasted for seven or eight months.
From the ninth month after Lin Yue left the dormant cabin, he no longer locked himself in the living room, but began to run around in hangars, engine rooms, storage warehouses, etc. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat.
As a cyborg, David felt that his control was much greater than that of ordinary people. However, compared with Mr. Lin, he was "ashamed". Although he didn't understand what shame felt like, he knew that this word should be used here.
By the eleventh month, he saw a strange scene in the monitoring equipment on the bridge. In addition to landing vehicles and armored vehicles, there were also two engineering mechas used to carry heavy objects. Now one of the engineering mechas was The mecha completely changed its appearance. One of the clamping arms was replaced with a drill, two flame nozzles were fixed behind the other clamping arm, and behind the mecha were a pair of gasoline cans.
When he was enlarging the target image, Lin Yue was adding things to it.
David didn't know what it was at first until he pulled up the surveillance video from the reserve warehouse.
Thermite.
This guy is crazy!
He literally turned an engineering mecha into a combat mecha. If the Prometheus wasn't a scientific research ship and couldn't open the weapons cabinet with the authority of a mechanic, that mecha might have been even more powerful.
David didn't know why he did these things, but he had no right to interfere, because the engineering mechas, drills, flamethrowers, etc. were themselves under the control of the mechanics.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
December 25, 2093.
With a slight vibration, the lights in the activity room shook a few times, and Lin Yue knew that the Prometheus had ended its warp voyage and switched to conventional engines.
Following the "arrived at destination" prompt, Lin Yue came to the bridge. David had already unfolded the outer protective wall. A huge silver-white planet appeared in front of the porthole. Countless small particles gathered into a planetary ring, floating on LV233. The surroundings look spectacular and beautiful.
"It's so beautiful." David said with a smile.
Lin Yue walked to the navigation platform and stared at the scene outside. His expression seemed calm, but in fact, his heart was full of turmoil. Putting aside the memories instilled by the system in his mind, this was the first time he observed a planet in space orbit. Although he had thought that such a day would happen since the system appeared, but when he actually experienced it, he felt special. Untrue.
"It's time to wake up the supervisor." David glanced at Lin Yue's back, turned and left the bridge.
…
Twenty minutes later.
In Overseer Vickers' separate cabin.
The woman stood in the middle of the living room with her hands behind her back. The spiritual system in front of her transformed into a snowfield, which matched her expression at this moment.
"Do you know how many rules you broke?"
Vickers turned his head and looked at him coldly, with a condescending attitude and undisguised contempt in his eyes.
Yes, contempt!
She has this power because she is not only the person with the highest official position on the Prometheus, but also the heir to the Welland Group. Whether Lin Yue can continue to work on the ship is a matter of her words.
An alcoholic, lazy, uneducated mechanic who works with engine oil and metal all day long is completely different from her status. If it weren't for that man on board, she would never have lowered her status to To hang out with such rough people.
Lin Yue knew that David would report his affairs to Vickers, but he did not expect that she would really treat him like a dishonor.
Under normal circumstances, she is indeed qualified and has every reason to scold the little mechanic in a condescending manner. Unfortunately, this is not a normal situation. If a person knows that there is no life or death in the future, who will care about your identity. At this time, the king of heaven is here. It's useless.
"Answer my question." Vickers' eyes became colder.
