I got another idea.What if the Covenant is not the first ship to journey to paradise.Since none of us believe those dog tags belong to Shaw,what if there from someone else?I got this idea that maybe others came first and became David's first test subjects.We know he's got black goo canisters,so what if another ship touches down and the same fate that had befallen on the Prometheus expedition has fallen on them(black goo mutations,trilobites,etc.)I believe i've even read that the trilobite was even spotted on set.So what if David did all that,created a trilobite the same way he did in Prometheus,and perhaps forced the trilobite onto Shaw or others and creates a something .We have no idea what would be born of a human impregnated by the trilobite.Maybe it creates the xenomorph.I know it's a wild theory but what do you guys think?

I am in the minority in thinking the tag belongs to Shaw.

Hmm. That is an interesting idea. My take is based on this new idea combined with an older one (Covenant was enroute elsewhere and picked up on the beacon from David’s location) someone else posed :

Prior to AC, another ship with a similar mission was sent to “Paradise” and contact was lost.

Later on, the Covenant was sent on its mission to a different location but receives the message from Paradise (presumably David) and changes course. This could answer how David was able to use familiar technology to send a message (not all agree it is David in that hologram).

Well, there is an air tight and iron clad theory lol!

The theory i have is covenant its not meant to land on paradise.

They get a signal from paradise in form of a music..and so they send a dropship with the crew to investigate. David sent the signal.

I dont see it logical that covenant is meant to colonize paradise.

If so weyland yutani are behind and aware of a lot of things and david is the answer.

the scene where daniels is saying 'we don't know what the f**k is out there' suggests that they are not meant to be there, it is logical to assume they have at least some data on where they r meant to be headed to with long range scans or a small expedition has already been. I think it will be similar to alien and they r in cryo when the company tells walter to alter course and they find out only when they wake up

I'm thinking that it's possible that it's a ship that went looking for the Prometheus,and picked up a distress signal from David like you guys said.

I don't actually think whatever it is was meant to be there, maybe an ear piece or some other costume prop that comes loose

So far we are 4/4 agreeing the Covenant's initial destination was not Paradise.

@ali81-

To clarify, I was not referring to the facehugger scene. I meant the part where someone held up what could have been a dog tag covered in slime.

xeno, I thought the ship is a colony ship with a hundred or so couples in stasis? it may be the only company ship that will be going anywhere near the 'paradise' system so is the obvious choice to redirect, just like the nastromo, regardless of risk to the passengers

this makes me think that either by way of an initial human ship or any resident engineers, there would logically be grown xenos/ protomotphs and neomorphs already on the planet when covenant lands. the planet would have been over run no?

There could be xenomorph presence but maybe in an underground hive and the Crew of the Covenant will unfortunate enough to run into them like in Aliens.Though those one's weren't underground.

from what I gather the trailor gives me the impression that there r only a few xenos and neos on the ship that r a threat to the crew but that obv doesn't say anything about outside the ship I guess. the pic of daniels and another crew member holding weapons back to back suggests to me they r surrounded
