During preparations for the Prometheus expedition, Peter Weyland addresses a synthetic android who would become part of the mission. Weyland asks the android his name; the android selects "David" after looking upon Michelangelo's statue of the same name.
In 2104, the crew of the colony ship Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with some two-thousand colonists and a thousand embryos on-board, monitored by an upgraded android resembling the earlier David, named Walter. While en route, a neutrino shockwave severely damages the ship, killing its captain and waking the crew from stasis. As the crew repair the damage, a radio transmission is intercepted from a nearby planet. Against the objection of Daniels, the ship's terraforming expert and acting executive officer, acting captain Oram decides to investigate, as the transmission is human in origin, but the planet is supposedly lifeless.
Arriving at the source of the transmission, an expedition team descend to the surface, while Covenant remains in orbit. Karine sets up an ecological survey station, while the others track the signal's source. They discover it originates from an Engineer ship, piloted by Elizabeth Shaw following the disastrous Prometheus mission. Two security team members, Ledward and Hallett, are inadvertently infected with an alien spore. Karine attempts to assist them, but Faris locks them inside the landing vehicle's med-bay as a quarantine precaution. A neomorph—a forerunner to the xenomorph— bursts from Ledward's back, killing him, then mauls Karine to death. Another neomorph bursts from Hallett's throat, killing him. Faris dies when she attempts to kill one of the neomorphs, accidentally destroying the lander in the process.
