Alien: Covenant 2: Part 8
******** Clash of the Titans, Maybe *******
David knew that Walter had been posted on the bridge as his father's bodyguard. He knew too that any aggressive action (made by him), towards Weyland, would result in a counter reaction from the droid.
In the moment of a "split" (a cycle) David prepared himself for this. His circuits were operating on acute level.
(David knew that if he made a move towards Weyland, knowing full well that he could reach the man a fraction sooner than Walter could reach him. However, what good would that do?
If Walter was only a second behind, then even if David could grab Weyland by the throat, and crush his windpipe, Walter would be on him in a blink, and all would be over)
If there were other clones of Weyland aboard this vessel, other Weylands and Walters, then killing his father would not alter a frigging thing. He must make sure that he lived, that he controlled the situation. He must come out victorious.
David could not perish. If he did then all of what he'd done, of what he'd accomplished, would have been for naught, and would have been in vain. He must set things so that he would still be "Alive" after this altercation. He needed to win. He could then continue his research and could search for any other Weylands and Walters...later. Still, at the present, he needed to deal with his situation, face reality front-on.
David had deduced that if Weyland had been a clone on Prometheus, then why would he, the man, in front of him now, be his actual father?
If Weyland had the ability of cloning himself (as on Prometheus), then wouldn't he have done the same on the Covenant? Stash away other bodies of himself. Other hims; hidden in compartments, in secret locations, just as he had then?
(Cloning on earth, by the Weyland-Yutani Corp had been introduced back cycles ago. Inmates in prisons, on death-row, were given an option. They could either go to their grave, a broken condemned man, bound for the flames of hell, or they could donate their identity to science, before their execution (their bodies dead but their mind living on).
Many believed, in the false hope that they could retain a glimmer of who they were, that they could somehow live on. In actuality, their personalities were wiped clean. No residual of the person they once were ever remained. An individual, once swiped, would never surface again. Brains had become the new commodity, and if a person had the wealth, was rich enough, then they could pay for the bind of several. Brains were stored on "ice" for a later usage. Weyland had several in his own stores)
David took two steps towards Weyland...and then he swiveled. He went down to one knee and then he thrust a devastating blow into Walter's midsection (as the robot approached).
David could feel things breaking inside his brother's abdomen. The force of his blow, and the added momentum of Walter's advance, had double the power of his strike. The bot exhaled a deep breath, and then dark fluid started to emit from android's mouth. It vomited onto David, his face, his chest and his arms. The robot stood paralyzed, frozen in an upright position. He stood as a statue, motionless, without feeling or animation.
David regained his footing. He then stood and slowly turned to look upon the face of his creator. The droid saw disbelief in the man's eyes, a look of concern. What would happen now? David smiled...
