Alien Day AC New Footage: So What Happened to Shaw?

Guess is she found out what he did, and their relationship went downhill. After this maybe she becomes infected and mutates but manages to stay alive till the end of film.

I think David sends her off somewhere else and he uses another ship somehow.

A longshot, but what if she dies in hypersleep and David takes out revenge on the unsuspecting engineers? He then tries to remake her or revive her and the experimenting begins. After all, she showed such compassion putting hs head back on.

I think thats her in the earlier trailers hairless and hunched over running up the stairs.

I do remember the article in Empire says Shaw goes "missing" for reasons explained in the movie.  Got a funny feeling she is still alive, but goes somewhere else?  After David drops the urns, does the Juggernaut he is in crash? Causing Shaw to get hurt and die? so many things!!

Its funny how small things can blow theories discussed on the forum for a while now away. lol this changes everything...which is good!

@Shasta SO correct! It is good, and Unexpected!

Necronom IV

That's what I'm thinking. Consider that the engineers may very well have designed their cryo-chambers to kill anything that tried to use them without the suit (or their DNA).

So the cryo-chamber kills her, David blames them, he drops the bombs, there is perhaps some sort of counter attack which brings about a crash, then he makes his home in the hall of heads and begins efforts to revive her with the pathogen. Perhaps he succeeds...at a price.

whats also interesting is how it seem's to bother Him (David ) being alone.

I do not think Shaw is asleep when they arrive since he tells her he will wake her up. So something must have happened to her whilst being in hypersleep. Also David learns about their ways whilst being alone, I wonder what is he learns about them.

This is very exciting indeed :)

Queen Elizabeth

Exactly, he probably begins his experimenting with a noble motif, but as time and his experimenting goes along it also becomes perverted and twisted. Maybe he looses his focus and along the way learns something about himself and with all that we end up withe the perfect organism.

Shaw's name tag which Daniel discovered (as shown in the trailer) makes me worried about her fate.

A strange scenario- over the course of the movie, David experiments on Shaw as QES said and she births a creature to his dismay. That creature face hugs David and he births the Xeno- sort of the "son" of David and Shaw. I doubt it but it is fun to think about.

There must be a twist, i think something might happen to her in hypersleep, like a mutation due to the sex with holloway, it just took longer due to the nano amounts in her body. 

What if she retained all her sentience but had a mutant, xeno body, with telepathic connection with other types of xeno? She would then be the original mother of the xenos, who then becomes the target for the next weyland expedition, bring back the queen!

Really good points from everyone. 

@Necronom IV, I think you may be onto something. By showing us small glimpses into David and Shaw's relationship, we can speculate that his attack on the humanoids is probably a direct result of something that happened to Shaw. I've also been thinking a lot about when he said "I learned of their ways, and awaited our arrival." Something about it tips me off. Almost as if he discovered something about the Engineers so intriguing that he turned against Shaw and humanity as a whole.

Okay, so here's a loose theory based on the information we've gotten about David and Shaw's arrival so far. Some of it's far fetched - I just wanted to try to piece together a cohesive narrative from the hints we've gotten.

David is fixed, Shaw and David build their relationship and find a route to Paradise. Shaw is put into hypersleep.
David theorizes about the influence of the Black Goo, wanting to create his own creatures, being so fascinated by creation. Shaw, awakened as they approach Paradise, learns of his plans and tries to stop him. Some kind of conflict makes her lock herself in a room within the Juggernaut. David bombards the humanoid city upon arrival. Shaw, in an attempt to stop David, crashes the ship. She is infected by the black goo or the resulting spores, and she goes missing. David sets up camp and goes crazy, experimenting and researching for the following few years, trying to perfect the mutations he's created in the indigenous race.
Covenant crew arrive and find Shaw's dog tags inside the crashed ship. David/spores/xenos/neos/protos/whatever wreak havoc...

It might not be close to the actual story, but what do you guys think? Any other theories that take into account all the info we've gotten about their arrival?

Guys, if you watch the crossing video really closely.  I think Shaw is dying from an illness.  She looks really pale, profusely sweating (skin glistening in the light) even while covered up with a blanket from being cold.  She stopped taking care of herself, hair is a mess, etc.  She tells David she is trying...but I think it is edited and taken out of context for the video.  I think they put her in hypersleep to stop/slow the progress until David can get a cure......which leads to his experimentation on Paradise.

 Oh and I think Shaw's Death is the driving force behind killing everything.  They are the ones that damaged him and killed the only thing that showed him compassion....Shaw

The name tags seen in the trailer don't worry me much, coz you can see them swinging over shaws head as she writes something at a "table" in the new footage..

"it seems that all theories of David maliciously mutating Shaw should be disregarded."

Maybe but i suspect this is not the case... The Covenant has to play at least one role and a Covenant Between David and Shaw has to be one of the uses....

Few things that seem prior to show Davids fondness, Prometheus after he said she has good Survival Instincts he seemed to grow a bit of respect for her, the ending of Prometheus seems to show a bit of this.  But David knows he has to get on her Good Side or he is not going anywhere.

Fassbender referred to their Relationship like a Marriage and we know every Relationship like that has its ups and downs, and what happens after the Honey Moon Period.

The other information we have had in total paints David as more Sinister....  did a event change him this way?

We could indeed maybe look at the AURORA - Nature Boy

Lyrics, a key thing is

"And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

This could apply to David feeling Loved and Respected by Shaw which i covered after the First Trailer came out, and it seems indeed now David comments on how Kind Shaw is and maybe he feels she treats him how he wanted to be treated.  And so he would be fond of her.

And so a event that would lead to her Death could have a impact on a Emotionally Attached and Unstable Android..

Maybe yes Shaw dies or is ill before they arrive at Paradise? We cant be sure though..

Maybe he realizes this and wonders if there is something on Paradise that can help her... but then realizes that the only Creation Tool for Life these Engineers have can Create Life but it needs to Destroy first.

Maybe then attempts to study the Black Goo to try and Save her but maybe the only way to Save her is to Evolve her?
