'As the first of its kind, there were always 'issues' with David.

That is what my team and I have been working overtime to try to resolve.

We believe we have done so, but we are not yet a hundred percent sure.'

--- Loess Steinmetz on not wanting to rush the Walter project.

'For thousands of years it had been said, sometimes seriously and sometimes in jest, that one could not play God.

Working on the Walter project and it’s predecessor, David, was as near as one could come to disputing that proposition.

There had been many failures - so many failures - along the way.'

Can this mean that Walter is not 100% safe? That he can choose to reign in hell? Is it possible that Walter actually killed David and stole his personality and knowledge?

I am looking forward to reading this book.

Thanks again Ati.

Who knows... i mean do FOX RS and ADF even know?

I am really disappointed in again how they are messing with the Lore of Prometheus... So David had many improvements as far as future models, yet the Prometheus Mission stuck with the Flawed Original David?

It makes a mess of what kind of upgrades really happened over the next 7 models, i really think FOX/ADF have dropped the Ball with this.

My theory was always that Each Proto-type that had advances to its construction and any other components would have Weyland Transfer the Memories and Experiences of the prior Personnel Proto-type into the CPU etc of the more Advanced Model.

I really do have Grave Concerns for the Direction of the Franchise now.... its as if Prometheus was just a mistake to FOX and all the History and information being laid down is being Redacted.

Welcome. - The same feeling here. Those lines are used to make 'the ambiguity of facts' stronger.

Covenant of the two androids?

I'm not brave enough to state anything now. I think they are building something.
