Yutani Corporation Quiet Eye Dr. Elizabeth Shaw intercept April 8, 2079, Weyland Industries Project Genesis

@Ingenioro:

What's really interesting about this is the memo mentioning that finding the origin of mankind is "an initiative in line with the mission of Weyland industries".  What exactly is the mission statement of Weyland Industries?

And if Peter Weyland wants all technology found at the LV-223 site, might this suggest David is still fulfilling this purpose for Weyland Industries by the time of Covenant?

This was Sir Ridley's version of Blade Runners' voight kampff test.

More background about Peter Weyland, Weyland corp and how they operate can be found in these discussion about the various versions of the prometheus scripts:

Jon Spaihts’ Alien Prequel

"As it turns out, Weyland already knows everything Watts and Holloway are telling him, thanks to elements within his company spying on the two scientists. But Weyland’s not entirely egotistical or greedy. Despite having already obtained and confirmed the veracity of their research, he is charitable enough to offer them a contract and a claim on any archaeological finds; bar any alien technology they might uncover. Holloway signs, and Weyland informs him that David will accompany the expedition as his “eyes and ears” – as will Vickers, much to her own shock."

Thank you for the great links Ripleys_Ghost. I love this background stuff.

Thank you again ninXeno426 for telling me about the Quiet Eye intercept months ago. I can't imagine how I missed it in 2012 but I did.
