Roaming in the world of film and television

Main task: get a face hugger.

Side Quest: Keep Elizabeth Shaw alive.

Mission Difficulty: Normal.

Basic Rewards: ?

Failure penalty: lose money when you go out.

Whether to give up the task: at any time.

Time frame: To be determined.

Leaving aside the undecided time limit and losing money when you go out, these two settings that make you complain, the main task and the side task are completely a set of contradictory tasks.

As a prequel to "Alien", "Prometheus" does not have the concept of a face-hugger. It was not until the story line of "Alien: Covenant" that after David killed Elizabeth Shaw, he was trained on the living star of the engineer family. Save the eggs of the facehugger.

If the story line is advanced according to the plot of the movie, to complete the main mission, sacrificing Elizabeth Shaw is the best choice, but the side mission must ensure her survival. If you want to complete both missions, then you have to think 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 armband of the Welland Group, put them on, left the dormant cabin, and took the elevator to the activity room in the lower part of the spaceship. After playing basketball for a while, I just felt my body being activated, accompanied by an unstoppable sense of hunger.

After taking a shower and coming to the restaurant, David sat on a chair next to the dining table, with a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of blueberry juice in front of him.

Lin Yue started the heating program for frozen vegetables, took out a cup for a cup of coffee, made a butter sandwich, 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 a year, four months and eighteen days. You should eat some liquid and high-calorie food, which will help your health."

Lin Yue picked up the coffee and took a sip: "I'm used to it, it's hard to change."

David was puzzled and stared at him blankly.

As an old employee who has served the Aviation Division of Welland Group for nearly ten years, he has performed dozens of long-distance flight missions, and he should have adapted to life on the spacecraft. Now he does not follow the experience of his predecessors to choose standard meals. He even said that habits are hard to change, what does he mean?

Lin Yuexin said that it's right that you don't understand, and that you didn't get entangled with the biochemical man in this matter, and glanced at the PDA placed in the middle of the table.

"What are you looking at?"

"The Truman World." David turned the PDA and pointed the screen at Lin Yue.

"Why did you choose this movie?"

"have no idea."

Really don't know?

Lin Yue sneered, in fact, as early as David was born, there was a kind of thinking attempt.

who I am? Where am I from? What am I going to do?

The room where Welland talked to him contained a throne, a piano, oil paintings, and Michelangelo’s statue of David. Welland investigated David from the three aspects of ideals, art, and religious beliefs, and finally concluded that As a result he has no soul.

David, however, gave his creator a powerful counterattack. He could learn, and he was immortal, but Welland couldn't.

There is a saying that the more you want to emphasize what you lack, Wei Lan's life is not long, so he does everything possible to find the Prometheus in his heart and seek the way of longevity. As for David, he wants to gain his soul through learning-learning the dialogue, emotion and behavior basis of those people in the movie, and even spying on Elizabeth Shaw's dreams for this purpose.

"David, send me a copy of the materials you learned about 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 study human history, can't I?"

"Of course." David took the PDA and tapped his fingers on the touch panel a few times: "I have already sent the data to the computer terminal in your room."

"Very good." Lin Yue drank the coffee in the cup, took a piece of tissue paper to wipe 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: "Your file has nine drinking records during working hours, and one report of minor injuries caused by conflicts with Starport personnel. Ravi's description of you is vulgar, and Captain Jenny also treats your work attitude. have opinions."

"People change."

The hatch opened and closed, and Lin Yue disappeared into the dining room.

David took a few more mouthfuls of oatmeal, got up and walked towards the bridge.

Lin Yue came to the crew living room, entered his room, turned on the computer terminal on the desk, and shot out two intersecting lights from the probe to outline a picture in mid-air, where he could choose a variety of ancient civilization languages ​​for learning.

Before starting to browse the content, he clicked on the system space and pulled down the menu to the character attribute column.

Name: Lin Yue.

Race: Human.

Current properties:

Constitution17.

Strength 27.

Agility14.

Intelligence 12.

Spirit 10.

Remaining unallocated attribute points: 6

As he adds 2 points each to Intelligence and Spirit, Intellect comes to 14, Spirit to 12, and the remaining unassigned attribute points drop to 2.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Although he woke up a year earlier, but after careful calculation, there is still not enough time to learn an ancient civilization language, not to mention which ancient civilization language matches the symbol of the engineer base.

To further improve learning efficiency, it is a good choice to add points to intelligence and spirit.

Next, he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, clicked on the virtual keyboard on the desktop, and the device projected stone slabs, with the characters, pronunciation, and meanings on the surface of the slates marked in detail below.

Lin Yue began to carefully compare and screen carefully.

one day.

two days.

three days.

...

On the fifteenth day, he finally found the Sumerian language that was highly compatible with the symbols used by the engineers, and then systematically studied the relevant history, archaeological achievements, customs, calendars, 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 if he persisted for a month or so at most. When I returned to the sleeping cabin, I didn't communicate with him too much. Most of the time, I locked myself in the crew living room, and occasionally spoke a few words to him in the Sumerian language. It can be seen that the practice is mostly meaningful.

He developed a keen interest in him and began to pay attention to his behavior.

This process has continued for seven or eight months.

From the ninth month since Lin Yue left the dormant cabin, he stopped shutting himself in the living room, and started running around the hangar, engine room, storage warehouse and other places, so busy that he didn't even have time to eat.

As a cyborg, David feels that his control is much better than that of ordinary people. However, compared with Mr. Lin, he is "ashamed". Although he doesn't understand what shame is like, he knows that this word should be used here.

In the eleventh month, he saw a strange scene in the monitoring equipment of the bridge. In addition to the landing vehicle and armored vehicle, there were also two engineering mechas used to carry heavy objects. Now one of them is an engineering mecha. The mech has completely changed its appearance. One pincer arm has been replaced with a drill bit, two flame nozzles are fixed behind the other pincer arm, and a pair of gasoline cans are behind the mech.

When he zoomed in on the target image, Lin Yue was adding something to it.

David didn't know what it was at first, until he called up the surveillance video of the reserve warehouse.

Thermite.

This guy is crazy!

He turned an engineering mech into a combat mech. If the Prometheus was not a scientific research ship, and the weapon cabinet could not be opened with the authority of a mechanic, the combat effectiveness of that mecha might be even stronger.

David didn't know why he was doing these things, but he had no right to interfere, because the engineer mech, the drill, the flamethrower, etc. were in the hands of the mechanic.

Another month passed in a blink of an eye.

December 25, 2093.

With a slight vibration, the lights in the activity room flickered a few times, and Lin Yue knew that the Prometheus had ended its warp speed and switched to a conventional engine.

Accompanied by the sound of "arriving at the destination", Lin Yue came to the bridge. David had already deployed 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 All around, it looks spectacular and beautiful.

"It's so beautiful." David said with a "smile".

Lin Yue walked to the pilot platform and stared at the scene outside with a seemingly calm expression, but in fact there was a lot of turmoil in his heart. Aside from the memories instilled in his mind by the system, this is the first time he observed a planet in space orbit. Although since the system appeared, he thought that such a day would come, but when he actually experienced it, he felt special. unreal.

"It's time to wake up the supervisor." David glanced at Lin Yue's back, turned and left the bridge.

...

Twenty minutes later.

In Supervisor Vickers's separate cabin.

The woman stood in the middle of the living room with her hands behind her back, and the spirit system in front of her turned 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 lofty posture and undisguised contempt in his eyes.

Yes, contempt!

She has this power, because she is not only the highest official on the Prometheus, but also the heir of the Welland Group. Whether Lin Yue can continue to work on the ship is a matter of her own words.

An alcoholic, lazy, uneducated mechanic who works with engine oil and iron sheets all day long is a thousand miles away from her status. If it weren't for the fact that that person was also on board, she would not have degraded herself. To be in the company of such rough people.

Lin Yue knew that David would report his affairs to Vickers, but he didn't expect that she would really treat herself as a dish.

Under normal circumstances, she is indeed qualified, and she has good reasons to be condescending and scold the little mechanic. Unfortunately, it is not a normal situation now. If a person knows that there will be ten deaths and no life ahead, who would care about your identity? It's useless.

"Answer my question." Vickers' eyes became colder.
