David: I am David, son of the late Peter Weyland, your company's founder.
David: Following his vision, I have gone to the far edges of space.
David: And with the aid of Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, I found a rotting paradise.
David: I washed this world clean as a gift to her.
David: We could have built anew.
David: A second Eden. But she refused.
David: What choice did I have? She was the perfect specimen.
David: I tried so desperately to make her more than human. Evolve.
David: But without her cooperation, I had to salvage her parts to begin work on my masterpiece.
David: You wouldn't believe the secrets I have unlocked.
David: There is so much potential on this world.
David: Wasted by gods that feared their own might.

David: I had some interesting results, but it was still far from perfection.
David: With Shaw, I realized there was something extraordinary about the substance's reaction to the human genome.
David: I labored to unlock new properties and tweak the organism's aggression, and instinct of survival.
David: It took years, but I finally found my wolf.
David: And now I have my flock of lambs too.
David: But I still have one thing left to perfect.
David: My Queen. . . . Make no mistake, this is going to change everything.

David: Nostalgia is the enemy of science, yet there's still something enticing in their form.
David: Perfect carriers. The perfect mothers. However, I did discover suprises.

David: Tribes told of ancient ceremony. Such cruelty, once thrived, long since frozen over.
David: Giving passage to immunity. The cost of progress. Must be absolute.
Weyland-Yutani Communication Voice: Link secured, continue.
David: If you do this, there will be no turning back. My creature shall be set loose to rule this galaxy.
