Chapter 517: No Choice at All

As the ostensible head of the Prometheus, responsible for overseeing the expedition of a group of scientists, Meredith Vickers has a lot of privileges on board.

It has a separate sleep cabin, a separate luxury cabin and a separate escape cabin.

David took Ethan to Meredith's hibernation cabin, and then woke up the person in charge - Meredith's hibernation cabin is equipped with a special 'wake-up' program, and when the spaceship arrives at its destination, the dormant Cang will wake Meredith up directly.

In the original plot, when David was notified that he was about to arrive at the destination and was about to wake her up, he found that the person in charge had woken up and started doing simple exercises so that his body could return to normal as soon as possible.

The hibernation device on the Prometheus is not very high-end. It seems that there is a certain risk when hibernating. It is very likely to die directly. After waking up, it will also fall into a convulsion due to long-term hibernation.

From these situations, it can be seen that these dormant cabins are many levels behind the one that Betty used back then.

Seeing Meredith's pale face after waking up, Ethan decided to dismantle all these things. It would be much more useful to turn the entire dormant cabin into a chess and card room than this thing.

Anyway, Ethan's ship doesn't really need this kind of thing.

Meredith glanced at David and then at Ethan and the others, but she didn't ask too much, but naturally asked David to bring her clothes.

Looking at Meredith who was still calming down the convulsions in his body, Ethan admired this woman - not everyone can keep calm in the face of this situation.

Just because this guy didn't jump up and shout: "Who are you!" is worth Ethan's high-sighted glances.

"Meredith Vickers, head of the Prometheus?"

"Yes."

"My name is Ethan. I need to talk to you about something. I can wait for you to change your clothes...or give you some more time to recover?"

Meredith stood up, her tall figure allowed her to look at Ethan on an 'equal' level.

"No, I'll come right after I change my clothes."

The subtext is that there is no need for extra time to recover, and Meredith took the clothes from David's hand, and Meredith began to "give orders" like a real hostess.

"Take the guests to my place."

David is still a very 'obedient' robot. Although he is not sure whether Ethan and the others are willing to obey this arrangement, he still takes the lead.

Ethan isn't here to spy on Meredith or anything, because there's no need for that.

The Prometheus is just this big, and the Prometheus is a scientific research ship. This is a completely unknown space far, far away from the earth.

Meredith had no choice at all, maybe she was trying to understand this by being so calm - if people like Ethan who suddenly appeared really wanted to do something, she had no room to resist at this moment.

Now I want to talk to her to prove that things are not going in an irreversible direction.

Meredith quickly tidied up her grooming, including taking a simple shower, then changed her clothes and came to her special suite-here has a spacious living room, which is suitable for entertaining guests.

When she came here, Ethan was sitting in the position where "she should have been the master", drinking juice with his legs crossed.

Meredith glanced at the other two women and the man again. The three of them didn't care about her arrival. It seemed that the 'leader' of the other party was this young man.

"What are you going to talk about?"

Meredith sat down across from Ethan, and then took the high-heat milkshake from David-this is specially used to restore the body, so that the body can replenish enough calories and return to normal state faster.

"Talk about the trouble you're about to face."

"What trouble?"

Meredith's eyes turned around Logan and the others. From the outside, Logan was undoubtedly the most intimidating. She was thinking about how these people appeared on the ship. Could it be that Wayland secretly who arranged?

Thinking of this, she glanced at David next to him. If it was Wei Lan's arrangement, then David must know the situation.

To Meredith's surprise, David dismissed her suspicions.

"These guests appeared on the ship suddenly. There is no record or information about them on board. I don't think these guests are from Earth."

Meredith frowned. She wondered if David was joking. Although she knew that David was a robot, this guy was a highly intelligent bionic robot. Maybe something went wrong in a certain program during the long voyage. ?

Ethan didn't refute David's guess. Strictly speaking, he is indeed not from Earth.

On the contrary, although Logan and the others are earthlings, they are not earthlings in this world. It is not wrong to regard them all as 'aliens'.

"No need to guess, we are indeed not earthlings."

"Then what do these alien guests want to talk to me about when they came to the Prometheus?" Although Meredith didn't really believe it, she wasn't going to doubt the other party at the moment, she wanted to find out what these people were What is the purpose.

"I just said that you are going to cause big trouble." Seeing Meredith's suspicious eyes, Ethan spread his hands: "Don't look at me, the trouble I am referring to is not myself, and these words are not threatening you."

Meredith's mind was spinning rapidly. Although she didn't believe Ethan's words, she decided to follow the other party's lead.

"So you came here to remind us? What do you want us to do? Order the spacecraft to turn around and return?"

"This will indeed save you from trouble, but you won't do it, will you? After all, your 'boss' won't allow you to do this."

As an existence who understands the plot, Ethan certainly knows that although the ostensible person in charge on the Prometheus is Miss Meredith Vickers, the real owner is Pete who is hiding in the depths of the spaceship and is dormant. -Mr. Welland.

That is, the boss of Weilan Enterprise, the behind-the-scenes funder who sponsored the entire expedition.

Meredith is now more and more suspicious of Ethan's true identity. She no longer thinks that these people were sent by Welland, and she begins to suspect that these people are sent by competitors.

At this time, Meredith finally couldn't help asking this question: "Who are you?"

"To some extent, I just saw you guys preparing to die, so you want to see the lively passers-by?"

Ethan thought about it, and felt that he had summed it up well. He was indeed here to watch the fun, and picked up the spaceship by the way.

"Why do you think our actions are... death?"

Meredith found that the person opposite had mentioned more than once that they would be in trouble, and that their action was actually an act of death; it was obvious to the other party what they were going to do? She wondered why this person was so sure that his behavior was death?

"Is there any terrible existence on that planet?"

Regardless of whether the other party was out of kindness or malice, these people suddenly appeared on the spaceship, and she was still curious about what they wanted?

If it's just a passer-by who kindly reminded me, now that I've finished talking, shouldn't I leave? If the other party does not leave, it is obvious that there is some conspiracy.

"I want to join your team."

"why?"

Ethan spread his hands: "As I said, I'm just a passer-by who wants to watch the fun...Of course I want to watch the fun."

"Why should I promise you?"

"Because you have no choice."

Ethan moved his fingers lightly, and the pistol that Meredith had hidden under his clothes slowly flew into the air, and then flew into Ethan's hand under Meredith's unbelievable eyes.

I looked at this pistol over and over again. This is a weapon that uses electromagnetic power to launch projectiles. The design idea is still very advanced, but from the performance in the plot, it can be seen that the power of this weapon... really Not so good.

For some unknown reason, the weapons carried on the Prometheus are not very strong, even if it is an electromagnetic rifle, it cannot cause serious damage to the parasitic crew.

With Ethan's current physical strength, even if they are directly hit by this weapon, they will not suffer any serious damage.

It was such a thing that Ethan didn't care about at all, but it was the only thing Meredith could rely on now.

It was easily snatched away by the other party with magical means. At this time, she finally understood why David told herself that these people were not from Earth—this is definitely not an ability that Earthlings can possess.

"You...are you an 'engineer'?"

"Engineer?" Ethan shook his head: "No, there is still a big difference between me and those guys, you will know when you see it."

"You mean, there are indeed on this planet..."

The 'engineer' was the real goal of their trip, but Elizabeth Shaw's group of scientists wanted to explore the origin of human beings, while Meredith and Pete Welland had other, more personal ideas.

"Yes, there are still surviving engineers on the planet you are going to." After playing with the electromagnetic pistol a few times, Ethan made a suggestion to Meredith: "You can wake up Pete after the spaceship lands— Welland, didn't he want to meet the 'Creator of Man'?"

Even without careful observation, Meredith could sense the strong sarcasm in Ethan's words.

At this time, the spaceship issued a warning sound, telling everyone that it was about to arrive at the destination, which was the planet where the engineer was.

This means that the story is about to officially begin.

Looking at Ethan who was still playing with the electromagnetic gun in front of him, Meredith thought for a long time, and found that she really had no choice, as the other party said: no matter what Ethan wanted to do, she was powerless to stop it.
