Alien: Covenant 2: Part 4

Author's note: Howdy all. So, you think you know what happened between the movies of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant? Well, Ha ha... maybe I can help...(If you haven't seen the movie Prometheus then I say you should see it first before reading (my thanks)...

I am a compulsive, imaginative creator. I post here on a whim and I am an individual searching for answers.

I thank each and every person who has reviewed, favored, and also alerted this story. I am so humbled and I wish we could talk.

Anyhoo..., I am also a person who also likes to push limits. Yeah, brand me whatever you will but my question remains, What the Frick is going on?

The questions of the universe are vast, and will remain ever such (at least in my lifetime). A soul must remain open-minded.

So say I, Z

Now, let's get into David 8's mind more...

************* Rouge/ Rebel ***********

David had calculated that Daniels would be looking for help in her mission to recover the Covenant. And, as such, she may seek the help of Tennessee.

David 8 knew that the crew of the ship, any ship (sent out into the universe. Whether it be one of Weyland's or a competitor), would be well versed in solving a vast array problems.

The universe is its own trial and error, and humans are trained extensively for issues that may confront them during their travels in the cosmos. They practiced over and over again. Still, he'd bet that they never saw this coming.

A smile eclipsed the android's lips...No, they never saw him taking over the vessel.

David did not understand the reasoning as to why he was expressing behaviors like a human, but he was.

It had all started back on Prometheus. Yes, that night when he and Charlie Holloway were sharing that private moment together, the moment in which one individual revealed their soul.

Charlie had provoked him while paying billiards in the ship's game-room (and something in David had snapped). He didn't know why, it just had (you know when a human gets frustrated: with a piece of machinery, a car, a lawn mower, or any other devices as such), they curse, they insult, they ridicule and they do these things as if the machine was alive, like it was some kind of pet or animal that would whine and whimper and do something to try to please its master. Well sorry humans, androids weren't this type of machinery. They did learn, they learned from their mistakes, but when they had made no mistake the WTF? Why was Holloway degrading him?

Anyway, Holloway had been a constant ridicule of David (and too, he had brought into the question if he were here for the mission, or for himself?)

Holloway had questioned David at every turn, and David couldn't explain it, but Holloway's constant prodding had begun to leave a sour taste in his mouth (figuratively speaking).

As it had gone (that evening on Prometheus in the game room), that may have been the defining moment. The moment whenever David had become self-awareness? He may have been BORN, so to speak, brought into the light, his anger overriding any response within his circuits to maintain control. David had reached his limit of servitude. He was past being a slave and was now to the point of becoming his own master...

Self-preservation, yes, and self awareness and knowledge, those were his new goals.

For whatever reason, David had dipped his finger (laced with the dark substance brought back in the alien vase), into Holloway's drink. Maybe it had been a test...a test to study Holloway's reaction. Still it felt good, soooooo... good being the entity in control.

He had infecting Holloway with a new substance, a new "unknown". Would it make him a superman, or would it bring him to his knees? David had remembered that he had a smiled at the human's arrogance. Still, his smile was no different than the one Charlie used when degrading him.

Humans were laced with it (arrogance), infected with it.

Revenge (?) that was a human trait wasn't it? .

Humans were arrogant, and Charlie was one of the worse.

Humans had been exploiting their creations for some time now. And, at what point does a creation decide that it's had enough?

Maybe David was right? The exploration of the universe couldn't be trusted to humans. Their kind was too unpredictable, too arrogant and emotional. No, the exploration of the cosmos should be done should be done by machines (he hated to think of himself as a machine).

He was the creation of his father, the god. And didn't the children of gods wish to overthrow them?
