SHAW
So do you work for Weyland?
MUDOW
That’s right, eleven years.
SHAW
It’s a nice ship, looks fancy
MUDOW
It should be. It’s the first ever ship to have been fitted with FTI speed technology.
SHAW
Seems like an expensive ship
MUDOW
You kidding me? Weyland spent most of it’s budget and profits on those Master-class star freighters. There’s trillions to be made on collecting Millions of tons of ore
INT. MESS HALL
DAVID sits quietly in a quiet trance at the table but looks up as VICKERS enters dressed in a white robe.
On the wall behind DAVID is a large poster which shows the ship PROMETHEUS and the sentence “Weyland launches the FTI fitted Prometheus star ship on it’s 50th anniversary” written on it.
She sits at the table and places a cigarette packer and lighter on the table. She takes out and lights a cigarette and leans back as she relaxes. A small tube descends from the ceiling and absorbs the smoke from the cigarette. She looks over at an emotionless DAVID.
VICKERS
You don’t talk much do you?
DAVID
I talk when I’m asked a question Miss Vickers
VICKERS
So you’re the ships Science officer huh?
DAVID
That’s right
DAVID stares at the palm of his hand which has been cut. White fluid drips from the wound.
VICKERS
Does it hurt?
DAVID
I don’t feel pain
VICKERS
I’ve always wondered what goes on inside the head of a synthetic
DAVID
I too have wondered what it would be like to see what’s inside the head of a human. But I think even that would frighten a synthetic
INT. CONTROL ROOM
Both CHANCE and RAVEL; both dressed in white robes sit by their control seats. The door opens and JANEK walks in. Both CHANCE and RAVEL stand up and salute.
JANEK
This ain’t the military guys. What’s our status?
CHANCE
Everything’s operational. No problems at all. Oxygen’s at 100 per cent and we’re right on course
JANEK
Good. Before we do anything else let’s go grab something to eat. I don’t know about you lot but I’m starving
INT. SICKBAY CORRIDOR
SHAW walks past the cue of recently awaken passengers but stops when she comes across a smiling HOLLOWAY.
HOLLOWAY
How did it go?
SHAW
Not bad, How are you feeling?
HOLLOWAY
Like I have a massive hangover
