The Peter Weyland Files

We can watch four videos on the Extras section of the Prometheus Blu-Ray. Every video has a log from Peter Weyland. The Quiet Eye: Elizabeth Shaw video which was one of the viral videos has an interesting part of its log that i totaly forgot but i watched the movie today and i watched those extras too. So, Peter Weyland wrote this on 01-14-2090 before the Prometheus had started her suicide mission.

"As fate would have it, Shaw and Holloway's interest in Zeta 2 Reticuli has proven to be mutually beneficial. While the good doctors rely on ancient carvings and primitive cave paintings, my science division's own long range scans have recently detected a faint, almost imperceptible signal emanating from of the lesser moons in that system. And contrary to the findings of shaw and Holloway, which target LV-223 as our primary site of interest, our findings suggest the point of origin could actually be the moon LV-426.

Per standard procedure, we will embed a David 8 unit with the crew. And he will programmed with multiple contingency plans to address and exploit whatever assets we secure on 223. But only David will know about 426 and will ensure that the rest of the crew - including Meredith - learn nothing about the transmission we've recently discovered until the time is right."

I think this comfirms the Derelict with the eggs already on LV-426 because the signal that Weyland's team detected was the one we knew from ALIEN if its origin from LV-426. So, those who think David created the xeno just take a breath.

What if David changed his mind and instead of Paradise he wanted to go to LV-426? What if Shaw and him got a fight on this and crash landed a third planet? We will see what happened sooner or later but i think the fact David knew about LV-426 will be significant if not in Alien: Covenant then in the sequel(s).

Just one more thing i'm thinking about. If Weyland knows about the signal in 2090 and the WY sent the Nostromo there in 2122 why they forgot about it after? In 2179, there are many conlonist family on LV-426 but seemingly there is no other goal than terraforming.  Burke sent the Jordan family just after Ripley talked about the derelict ship and the alien life form but before nobody knows nothing. Maybe at the time the people who knew about it were long dead? I didn't understand this plothole since i first watched the two movies.
