Final report of the vessel Prometheus. The ship and her entire crew are gone. If you’re receiving this transmission, make no attempt to come to its point of origin. There is only death here now, and I’m leaving it behind. It is New Year’s Day, the year of our Lord, 2094. My name is Elisabeth Shaw, last survivor of the Prometheus. And I am still searching.

David, why are you wearing a suit, man?
– Charlie Holloway
I beg your pardon?
– David

They’re making you guys pretty close, huh?

Leaving to go where?

Whatever that probe is picking up, it’s a lifeform.
