Prometheus 2 plot synopsis

Overview Premise Engineers have DNA matches humans not because humans come from Engineers. Engineers come from humans. Shaw & David discover that Earth Humans came from the Paradise Planet Humans. Where the Humans there engineered the Engineers. Although they do A.I., Paradise Planet Humans are not into robots and automation. They use Engineers more for that. Bred and bred for higher specialized intelligence and physicality….. enthralled by intellect and physique the PP Humans overlooked conscience. Engineers do not reproduce. Because the elements needed to allow them to do so is hidden. Engineers are not happy about that. “We are conscious and self aware and yet because you fear us you don’t allow us to reproduce”…. Engineers would be rid of the yoke of the Paradise Planet Humans but they must keep them safe for now. So they continue in a drone like role specialized to do certain things. Engineers dont inherently hate humans. But they have to protect the Paradise Planet Humans from what the Earth Humans carry. Engineers encounter Earth Humans while on earth WITHOUT killing them. The message the left was misinterpreted (by Shaw and the likes) as invitations. Close inspection of the cave paintings (and a willingness to step away from one initial interpretation) it can be seen that the Engineers Are presenting to the Earth Humans the “Tree of good and evil” in the garden that is the Milky Way galaxy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surprise!!!! TOXOPLASMOSIS !!!!! Aliens Goddess Queen infected Paradise Humans FIRST!!! To….. breed Engineers! All Humans and Engineers are fascinated with ‘origins’ and what the Alien Goddess Queen means to their constructs of origins. This fascination is reminiscent like toxo cat lady's and toxo mice are fascinated with cats. one to their pleasure (PP Humans) and the other case to their eventual pain (Earth Humans). Paradise Planet Humans send colonies here and there and Alien Goddess Queen while not intellectually smart enough to build flying machines and or do DNA engineering, has a galaxy hive where her children will be fed humans seed populated by humans and her offspring placed there by drone-like Engineers. David explains to Shaw this is why you are so drawn to “know why”. David is something between the mechanical menace of HAL 9000 and a minstrel of the King Lear’s type. Engineers neither built humans nor aliens. AGQ used one to build the other. Otherness causes tension and separation.... as she requires. All 3 parties are intrigued enthralled enslaved by her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>> AVP <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< --------------- just to tidy things up ----------------- Predators are really under contract to protect their Earth Humans from what was sure to be a mere temporary solution of putting Earth Humans far away. Earth Humans were put on this “reservation” with a pictorial warning to never return to where the pictorial figure was pointing to. lost in the translation. Predators are interested in sport and honor not conquest. Heck they even let pregnant women go unharmed. Whereas whoever put them there Engineers or Paradise Humans are not interested in making sure they survive long term. MOVIE ARCH Part 1:4 David is menacing in the way that only a machine can. David is something between a mechanical menace of HAL 9000 and a minstrel of the King Lear’s type. A reliable resource as long as Shaw stays on the true path. Shaw (unsure of Davids fidelity and motives) reminds herself that Davids facade is just that, a facade. Other than that he has no other goal but to stretch this thing out as long as he can and provide info to the next ship from the company to arrive there. David informs Shaw that the trip will take 3 yrs. Shaw says she doesn't have enough food. David suggests the cryo-bed (Shaw retorts – says the spider to the fly). Shaw realizes that he's up to something. She realizes that she has the weakest hand. Out of all the other characters, neither David nor the Engineers (nor the stow away Alien) needs O2. Engineer breath through their skin, do not require O2 and do not produce CO2… not in the amount humans do. She also realizes she is at the mercy of David because she can be in the cryo-bed and he could cut off her O2. She has no choice but to risk it. Along with that when she awakes David could allow her to awake at an in opportune time. In a weak attempt to mitigate this Shaw insist that David's head will be in the cryo-bed with her. His body can have camera & mikes. David "wants" to see her face when she gets to Paradise. So he goes along with it and doesn’t have a “desire” to endanger her. She is a “useful idiot” as far as he is concerned. Besides if he wanted her dead he could have just let the first Engineer kill her. David chides Shaw a bit about being wrong on the interpreting things ie "invitation". and perhaps she could be wrong about that cross... One should really be careful of believing in something so strongly without deep consideration and checking to see if you interpreted it correctly. Part 2:4 After inspecting his head in the cryo-bed David body encounters a hologram from Engineers log. Along the way proximity triggers awaken three Engineers.. David is also growing aware of the stowaway Alien. Having gained insight into the Engineers David in a clever move one Engineer in a face hugger room. And traps the other two in a room with the stowaway Alien. They fight the Alien. They loose… Seeing the image of the AQG image and stone and realizing its trapped the Alien curls up and hibernates. David puts the other Engineer back into HER cryo-bed, face huger and all. Part 2:4b. Shaw is awaken because they are arriving but she doesn't know about the sequesters stowaway. Audience still can't tell David's intent. On entry to the atmosphere David explains that the Engineers don’t do DNA Engineering, they simply DNA manipulate. They simply scoop this stuff up and jar it. As they arrive at the Paradise Planet, David drops the bomb of the origins of the Engineers as Shaw encounters the Paradise Planet Human David chides Shaw about being wrong again about her origins and the engineers origins. Part 3:4 joe blow paradise humans don't know the secret that earth humans are food. David encounters an equivalent A.I. After some puzzle and riddle games and language processing etc... they size each other up. Paradise Planet A.I. gives David a riddle he’s been working on... David solves the puzzle just as David presents the solution. Paradise A.I. presents his solution.... The characteristics of the puzzle needs to be of the following (mensa puzzle – solved by understanding the attributes of primes and natural numbers (?)) A teacher says to two students: I’m thinking of two natural numbers greater than 1. Can you guess what they are? One student knows the products of the two numbers while the other student knows their sum. 1st Student: I don’t know their sum. 2nd Student: I knew that. Their sum is less than 14. 1st Student: I knew that. Because Of what you said I now know the two numbers. 2nd Student: Because you know, now I also know. The mensa puzzle asks the reader what were the two numbers? In the case of David and the PP A.I. are student 1 and 2. They both realize Paradise humans, Earth Humans, Engineers and Aliens are all suffering a sort of toxoplasmosis originating from the Alien Goddess Queen. realizing a full on frontal presentation of this would cause a less than desirable reaction and his “interest” in watching her go through what he has gone through. David gets Shaw to think about the question... “Do you know why you believe?..... you believe and then you rationalize”. You think you believe from your own will and a mass of understood facts. But maybe you believe because you want to believe and that you want to believe because you are programmed to believe. David chides her again for being wrong yet again! For being so weak throwing up her hands saying in effect “I believe just because….” Don’t blame the Alien Goddess Queen --- its just evolution. She is not acting out of malice. Part 4:4 Paradise Humans are put against Earth Human. They will not alter their plan to drop their payload on Earth. At the final moments David tells shaw --- if she wants he can open the incubation chamber where the two Engineers died. Shaw has to choose earth or paradise earth. She knows her track record of being wrong. She thinks that David knows the correct (he's says there is no correct just bad and good and best -- so wrong again). In agony she asks David for the answer... David goads her again for abdicating responsibility. Look around here dr shaw. while earth was fascinated with automatons this place only have factory robots -- robots where. no decisions are made by them. they at least learned to owned their decisions. Stuck between the horns of the dilemma… Shaw again confesses that she was sooooo wrong…. Shaw insists on asking David… What should I do ---- either way it's going to hurt billions of self aware beings... David reminds Shaw “the trick is not minding that it hurts”. Shaw confesses that she had projected values and morals onto David where there were no morals or values. His developers didn't believe in such things... David tells Shaw to know right and wrong you’d have to know everything. In her case there is only bad, good and better decisions. her decision is given but all we hear are David's Last words are David... "interesting choice Dr Shaw.... " and whirring.... cld b engines cld b incubation doors. We learn that Shaw has decided to leave it alone. David however leaves the matter of the face hugged Engineer unmentioned. When Shaw realizes that one cryo-bed was still occupied and is now not she asks David what happened. David recounts the entire truth. Wryly lecturing Shaw about being “economical with the truth”. Paradise Planet is indeed infected and that the best move for Dr Shaw was to go back to the planet and disable all the other ships…. And crew….and yes you will need to be face hugged.
