With no choice, Meredith had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, Ethan's request was not something she didn't want to accept, they just wanted to blend in with the team under the title of 'Security Advisor'.
Although the Prometheus is not a large spaceship, it only adds four people, and it does not affect anything.
And after Meredith agreed, Ethan's words made her a little concerned.
"Congratulations on making the right choice, and maybe you can avoid that unfortunate ending because of it. ”
Speaking of Meredith's ending in the original plot, it feels like the actor suddenly offended the director in the middle of filming, and then the director let her get the bento to finish.
He died in a hurry, and he was speechless - the alien spaceship that was knocked down by the Prometheus was slowly and slowly stoned to death......
Compared with the crazy heroine Elizabeth Shaw, she had all kinds of good luck and survived to the end, and she could only sigh that the protagonist's aura was so powerful.
Of course, even if you live to the end, it is not necessarily a good thing, and from the follow-up works, we can know that Elizabeth's fate is much more miserable than that of her companions who died on this planet.
Meredith glanced at Ethan a few more times, she wasn't sure if Ethan was just casually saying it or serious, she could only put the question aside for a moment and start asking David to make some arrangements.
"Arrange an identity for these guests, and ...... Go wake everyone up. ”
The Prometheus has reached its destination, and it's time for the scientists on board to come out of hibernation.
Although according to the current distance, Prometheus will have to fly in space for a few days before it can actually arrive, but it will take a few days to wake up from hibernation and return to a normal state, which is just the right time for everyone to recover, otherwise everyone has just woken up from hibernation, and nothing can be done in this physical state.
Ethan didn't go anywhere, just sat on the couch, while Maria Hill followed David and watched what David was doing.
David thought that Hill was spying on him, and even Meredith thought so, but in fact Hill was only observing David's use of the ship's facilities, and he was also learning about the ship.
There was also Ida who did something similar, but Ada preferred to move on her own, and Meredith had never seen the woman except that Ada was standing honestly next to her during the conversation.
As for Logan, the strongest man who is the most intimidating in Meredith's eyes, he always holds a glass of wine in his hand, and then finds a random corner to stay silent.
It seems that only Ethan can talk, but after talking for a long time, not only did he not solve the various problems in his heart, but the problems became more and more.
She wanted to be quiet for a while, and by the way, to observe what Ethan's group was going to do?
Until then, she had treated Ethan as if he were a real member of the ship—and Ethan had asked for it anyway.
When the scientists on board woke up, everyone was in a relatively weak and uncomfortable state, they needed some time and exercise to recover, and at the same time, they had to be limited in their diet: they had to eat a liquid diet for several days.
After everyone's spirits had recovered a little, Meredith gathered everyone for a simple meeting.
Before this meeting, Ethan and the others had not had much contact with these scientists, and only moved around the ship at will like everyone else, so this group of scientists knew about Ethan's existence and thought that they had been recruited by the Weilan Enterprise like themselves.
Captain Ganeke was the first to notice that something was wrong, as the captain of the Prometheus, he knew the information of all the crew members on the ship, but he didn't know the identities of Ethan and the others at all.
In order to solve this problem, Meredith had to speak with Captain Garnec in person.
"There's a bit of a change in the situation, Ganeke. ”
"It has nothing to do with the change in the situation, what I care about is why there are passengers on the boat who I don't know the details of. ”
Ethan could understand Ganeke's anger, but as the captain of the ship, he didn't even know who was on board, and he would be angry if he were to change it.
"I understand your anger, Captain Garnek, but our presence is a blessing for you. ”
"Oh, really?" Ganeke glanced at young Ethan and then at Logan not far away, "Why do I think you're going to be a problem?" ”
Ethan smiled and stood up and gently patted Captain Garnek on the shoulder, "I'll prove how wrong your feelings are." ”
"I'm looking forward to it. ”
In any case, although Ganeke is the captain of the Prometheus, he is still a part-time worker at nature - the ship belongs to the Welland Enterprise, and he is only an employee who has been hired to command and pilot the ship.
Even if this is a universe far away from the earth, there is Meredith Vickers, who has full authority to represent the Welland Enterprise, and he can only endure it even if he is dissatisfied.
After barely solving Ganeke's problem, Meredith summoned everyone for a meeting, but this time the video prepared by Wayran was not played, because Ethan clearly told Meredith that there was no need for this, and as soon as the spaceship landed, he would ask David to wake up Wayland.
Even if David's task is to determine whether the engineer exists or survives, and then wake up Wayland, he can only choose to do what Ethan wants if he can't resist Ethan.
Ethan stood aside during the meeting, and at this point several of them had changed their identities to 'security advisors'.
"Security Advisor?"
Originally, I thought that Ethan and Ida were experts in a certain field like them, so they were recruited by Weilan Enterprise and joined this operation, but I didn't expect these people to be security consultants.
In some activities, the so-called security advisers are actually bodyguards, such people generally have rich military experience, and for some 'smart people', these are a group of 'inferior creatures' who can only use their hands but not their brains.
Ethan could detect a slight change in the attitude of a few people towards them - it was not very noticeable, but he was not prepared to offend them.
The best is the heroine Elizabeth Shaw, who shows her disdain for Ethan and others without concealment.
"This is a scientific expedition and we don't need any security consultants. ”
The Prometheus already had security experts on board, and these guys were now under Ethan's side, though the former chief security advisor named Jackson himself didn't figure out what was going on.
Ethan did not give any response to Elizabeth's behavior, but just looked at this woman with stupid eyes, and this woman was obviously a person living in her own world, she did not perceive Ethan's contempt at all, and gave her own discoveries and excited 'science' to several scientists present.
Her husband, Charlie, was aware of something wrong, but the pride of being a scientist kept him from taking the situation to heart.
In his heart, he felt that there would be no danger at all in this operation, and that there would be no need for any security advisers.
When this operation is over, he and these security personnel will not have any intersection at all, so why should he care about the feelings of the other party?
The meeting ended in such a strange atmosphere, and Ethan did not go to Meredith to eat and drink, because Meredith had already arranged a special cabin for several of them.
During this time, they lived like ordinary crew members on the Prometheus.
Aside from the fact that Ada and Hill attracted some people's excessive attention because of their appearance, Ethan and Logan didn't pay much attention.
At most, Jackson will communicate with them often, and by the way, complain that these scientists always look at people with a 'you are all mentally retarded' eyes.
"Don't bother with those idiots, it won't be long before the facts prove who is really retarded. ”
I don't know if Ethan's casual coping words won Jackson's approval, and then Ethan successfully became the security chief on the Prometheus, even if Ethan asked those security consultants to sort out their weapons when they were bored, they were very obedient to do it.
"I guess it has something to do with Meredith. ”
These people may not have the same IQ as those scientists, but they are all experts in terms of human sophistication, and after realizing that Ethan and Meredith, the person in charge, can talk directly, and Meredith can only be polite when facing Ethan, they decisively choose to 'give in'.
"They're so much better than Elizabeth's fool. ”
In the midst of Ethan's complaints, the Prometheus arrived at its destination and began to prepare for landing.
What happened next was no different from what happened in the plot, after the Prometheus entered the planet's atmosphere, Charlie Holloway quickly discovered the temple-like place, which Captain Ganeke chose to land nearby.
Ethan did not interfere with the development of the plot from beginning to end, but Ada and Ciel kept wearing special glasses and 'filmed' the cockpit of the Prometheus and the specific operation methods.
With the memory that the two of them had been specially trained, the observation they had been watching from the side during this time had made them remember how to operate the ship.
It's just that the details of the operation are recorded to help Tony transform the ship afterwards, and it is also convenient for others to learn, so he insists on secretly filming.
After the Prometheus officially landed, Charlie still asked the expedition team to wear equipment as in the original story, and then set off to search the building in front of him.
But this time, Ethan didn't let things continue to develop according to the original plot.
"Wait, there's something else to do until then. He first stopped Captain Garneke, who was about to prepare the search party, and ignored Charlie and Elizabeth, who were full of displeasure, and turned to David on the side: "It's time to wake up Pete Wellan." ”
