![]() ![]() It’s a fun short, but probably only interesting to the most die-hard Alien fans. (Sidebar: what is it with Weyland-Yutani employees always leaning face-first into those eggs? Someone needs to call Human Resources and update their training manual.) The poor astronaut peers into the open egg and the screen cuts to black, but we hear the tell-tale sounds of a facehugger attack. In the analysis, we discover that the egg is composed of a “carbon-based protein matrix” and that (surprise, surprise) there appears to be something moving inside of it. The only voice we hear in the 10-minute short is the computer analysis system that the astronaut uses to scan the egg. ![]() It’s a well-realized recreation of the lab, what with all the alien skeletons, the gooey remnants, and of course the pulsating, living alien egg. When we last saw David (Michael Fassbender), he had snuck onto the colonization ship Covenant, tricking Daniels (Katherine Waterston) into believing he was nice guy android Walter, and bringing with him two facehugger embryos and setting sail for Origae-6.Īs the astronaut explores the lab, we see David’s sketches of his experiments to engineer a superior creature. It’s unclear how long after Covenant this short is supposed to take place. ![]() In Covenant, we learned that David mixed the Engineers’ black goo pathogen with Elizabeth Shaw’s (Noomi Rapace) organs to create the first Xenomorph. The short, which was made in partnership with YouTube Space LA, is titled David’s Lab – Last Signs of Life, and follows a nameless Weyland-Yutani astronaut as he explores the evil android’s abandoned laboratory on the Engineers’ homeworld. 20th Century Fox has released a new short film to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the Alien: Covenant DVD release. ![]()
