The Family (Fan Fiction)

MemberNeomorphJune 20, 2017Something moved in the forest, something humanoid.
The very thought of a survivor horribly sickened David, for the android sought the complete, utter extermination of the Engineers.
Nevertheless, David carefully tracked the survivor's footprints through the foliage, occasionally humming portions of his favorite tune-- Wagner's Das Rheingold.
Several earth hours later, David found himself on a mountain top, standing before a humble stone structure covered with moss. To his contempt however, the sounds of several Engineers emanated from within.
David quietly entered the household and found a small family tending to a toddler's wound, presumably caused by the bombardment of steatite ampules. Sickened with their presence, David quickly ran out before being noticed.
The toddler's wound was quite horrendous, the black pathogen had caused its stomach to swell with countless sores oozing puss. Yet this had no effect on David's emotional encoding software.
Outside, among the abundance of stones and bushes, David swiftly constructed a small ax. When the weapon was complete, the android hastily charged back into the household.
Before the Engineers could even scream, David violently butchered the family. In fact, the power he had exhibited was so great that the bloodied innards of Engineers were thrown up and pinned onto the ceiling! Decapitated heads were tossed, eyes gouged out of their sockets, teeth loosened from their place, and torsos were brutally torn into shreds.
But before David could eliminate the toddler, his ax snapped in two. So David abandoned the weapon and carried the baby out from the household and slowly walked to a nearby cliff, humming the glorious climax of Wagner's Das Rheingold.
Upon reaching the very edge of the cliff, David threw the toddler down into the field below, still humming as its small mutilated body splattered at the bottom.
Starkly brutal, but I have to admit, I can see David doing just that!!
You bring up some interesting ideas!! :)
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
Great story! And yes there were baby engineers
