David gathering his ampule

When our investigative crew first entered the pyramid it is curious who was carrying what in their bags. In particular what or why David had a bag that contained just what he needed for this excusion. Of special interest was when it was time to leave before the approaching storm. David seeminly had not only the right size bag to carry an urn back to the Prometheus but also had the spraying canister he used just before packing the urn in the bag. My guess he was on a mission to bring back goo on board the Prometheus. As we learn from later in the story he used it on his test subject Holloway because he just wanted to try harder. But on this first vistit everything that David needed was there with him. He was very secretive in selecting, preparing, packing and concealing this goo treasure from other crew members. How much advanced knowledge did David have of the pyramids? And when did he know this information? He must have know about some type of goo that was needed for his eventual test...even before Weyland encourage him to 'try harder'. It seemed like David went back out in the storm to save Shaw but what he wanted to really save Holloway for the drinking test? I doubt if he would have used Shaw for testing purpose but still it is a thought. Was David being directed by still an unseen entity?

Carrying a bag wouldn't be that unusual, since it could be used for holding all manner of samples. Did he perhaps carry the collapsible ladder in that bag earlier in the movie? Also, the urns came in several different sizes, so he wasn't exactly lucky to find one that would fit the holdall. And, being a robot, he wouldn't even have to glance down to compare sizes. Robots would know that kind of thing instantly. So, all in all, in the absence of definitive evidence, we can't say that David knew about the goo beforehand.

A well-prepared explorer would probably carry equipment such as extra lights, carryalls of various sizes and - a ladder? Luckily our robot came prepared for any eventuality.

David8 is Weyland's personal robot, so nothing but the best for him. The rest of us have to wait in line for the newest of upgraded products!

If you type in "David" and "ampule" into Google (Prometheus-movie.com) , you can read though some fantastic older posts people have written here. I often do that and love the theories and answers I find. :D **When searching a topic, use Google for post bodies and the "search" function provided on this site for post titles.

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems the ampule thread has many posters. I especially like the poster that said after winning a contest with an ampule prize he would sleep with it! It just seems to me that it was too convienent for David to have exactly what he needed when he need 'tools' to bring an ampule back to the ship. It was great planning or just a coincedence.
