Chapter 324: Mission Briefing

The entire nominal crew of the Prometheus spacecraft had gathered in the vast arena where they had arrived at LV-223, but before entering the planet's atmosphere, they needed to hold a small mission briefing.

Prior to this, although everyone knew that the Prometheus Project they were involved in was an exploratory mission, most people did not know the details of the project. One convincing speculation is that they were here to investigate LV-223's geomorphological modifications in order to facilitate the subsequent transformation of the planet into a new territory suitable for human habitation.

And this mission briefing is to officially announce the real Prometheus plan to these crews!

Ye Qianhu sat in the rightmost corner of the second row, except for being a little indifferent, he didn't let himself behave as a maverick.

"Good morning."

"I said this to the people I hired myself."

With his very personal style of speech, he immediately made everyone's attention stay on him, Meredith Vickers put his hands behind his back, slowly walked in front of everyone, glanced at him lightly, and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again." ”

"Attention the rest of you, my name is Meredith Vickers, and my job is to supervise you to do your job."

"Okay, let's get started."

With that, Meredith Vickers gestured to David, who was sitting in the middle of the group, and took a few steps back to the side. The body carrying these hands still stands straight, declaring its strong presence at all times.

A woman like Meredith Vickers, even if the other party stays in the corner, naturally has a sense of presence that people can't help but look at, and her whole body exudes undisguised aggression.

David skillfully fiddled with the tablet in his hand a few times, and soon, a pre-recorded holographic projection was projected on the originally somewhat empty sports field.

After the Weyland logo fades, the projected environment becomes a simplely furnished room, with an old man with white hair walking towards them on crutches.

"Hello everyone, friends, I'm Peter Weeland."

The holographic projection of Willand is already very old, full of silver hair, vertical and horizontal folds on his skin, a silver-gray dress in the same style as Meredith Vickers's clothes, and a rickety figure, but he looks in good spirits, and he looks full of neutrality after speaking.

"I am your employer, this video was recorded on June 22, 2091. If you're watching, you've arrived at your destination. I may have died long ago, may I rest in peace. ”

Listening to Wei Land's words, Ye Qianhu sneered unconsciously, knowing that Wei Land was on this ship, listening to the other party's image announcing his death, it was really a very ironic thing.

From the heart, Weiland's life can be described as brilliant and remarkable, and the technology he developed can be said to have promoted the progress of the entire civilization, and the Weiland company he founded has achieved a series of breathtaking achievements.

In this world, the twenty-first century of mankind can almost be said to belong to the era of Welander, and a real person represents an era.

It's a pity that Peter Weyland is like an ancient emperor who was good at war, and when he was in the prime of life, he opened up territory and made great achievements. However, in the dying of old age, he pursues eternal life because of the imminence of death, and commits all sorts of foolish or absurd mistakes because of it.

In the holographic projection, Peter Weeland's speech continues.

"There's a man among you, and it's called David. He's like my supposed son, but it's a pity that he's not human, and he doesn't grow old and doesn't die. ”

"Even with such an advantage, he will not know how to appreciate himself, because there is one thing he lacks, and that is the soul."

"I've spent my life searching for answers, where did we come from, what is our mission, and what happens to us when we die?"

"There were two people in the end, and they convinced me that the answer was within reach."

Ye Qianhu was naturally not interested in Peter Weyland, who was talking eloquently in front of him, but looked at Meredith Vickers standing next to Peter Weeland's image with interest.

From the moment Peter Weeland's image appeared, Meredith Vickers's eyes became a little complicated, completely different from the proud look just now.

Especially when Peter Weyland mentioned David, Meredith Vickers still had no expression on his face, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath, tried to look natural, and turned his head sideways and was reluctant to continue looking at Peter Weland.

Meredith Vickers suddenly remembered Ye Qianhu's evaluation of her not long ago, heh, it's really appropriate.

Even if she relied on her own efforts to become the second female president of Welander so far, hoping to be recognized by Peter Weland, even if it was just a word of encouragement. It's a pity that his gaze has never been willing to stay on himself for even a second longer, and he will always just treat his subordinates on business.

Even if she did her best to help him manage the Weyland Company and make himself live like a working machine, in his heart, her weight was no better than that of a robot named "David"!

No matter what efforts I make, I'm just an illegitimate daughter who can't see the light, which is really sad.

Meredith Vickers looked at Ye Qianhu who was sitting in the corner, he was sitting there with his legs crossed very casually, his right hand supporting his chin, and he seemed to be looking at himself all the time.

The two sides made eye contact, and Meredith Vickers noticed that Ye Qianhu gave him a comforting look, and it seemed that he was also thinking about the same thing as himself.

As if the secret hidden deep in his heart had been exposed, Meredith Vickers glanced at Ye Qianhu fiercely, and immediately looked away, trying to maintain his fragile pride.

During the whole process, no one noticed the small interaction between the two, and these people's attention was now on Peter Weland.

His gaze continued to linger on Meredith Vickers, and Ye Qianhu also looked away, not looking at Peter Weland, his eyes were in a daze without focus.

Peter Weeland's preaching continued, and as if he could really see these people on the other side, he waved to the front and said, "Hollowey and Dr. Shaw, please get up." ”

"As far as I know, the two of them are in charge of this mission."

"The Titans Prometheus created man in the image of a god, for which he was expelled from Olympus."

"My friends, the time has finally come for God's return."
