(A2)Vickers, Meredith: A female human and a Weyland Industries representative participating as acompany supervisor in the Prometheus mission to LV-223 in 2093. Daughter of Peter Weyland.As the daughter of Weyland Industries' CEO, Vickers had been in service of the corporation for herentire life. Initially, she respected and admired her father, but when his age progressed and his visionbegan to deviate from Weyland Industries' interests, Vickers' feelings changed to suspicion andcontempt, feelings compounded by the enormous amounts of money and resources he seeminglysquandered on funding Project Prometheus and its search for mankind's origin at the hands of an extraterrestrialrace. When a journey to make contact with these Engineers came within reach, Weyland,now an old man, decided to secretly join the mission in order search for means to prolong hislife. Vickers was strongly opposed to the idea and joined the crew on short notice to protect companyinterests. She would not only have to deal with her father, but also with a David 8 android specificallyprogrammed by Weyland to follow his agenda. While the two were the only crew membersaware of Weyland's presence, they were far from being allies. As the research vessel Prometheuswas being outfitted, Vickers chose her quarters to be situated in the separate lifeboat section in orderto be prepared for any unforeseen events.On December 21, 2093, the Prometheus reached its destination. Vickers had programmed her cryotubeto wake her in advance and was back to consciousness some time before the rest of the crew.Later, she held a briefing where she informed the crew of her role as a supervisor and ordered Dr.Shaw and Dr. Holloway to refrain from making contact with the Engineers should the opportunityarise. After the landing on LV-223, Vickers remained on the bridge to observe the first foray of thescientists into the pyramid near the landing zone. After a storm had forced the team to return to theship, Vickers was present during the autopsy of an Engineer head found in the pyramid. During thenight, she went back to the bridge, presumably to check on the scan of the pyramid, and orderedJanek to her quarters where they possibly engaged in sexual intercourse. Next day, Vickers wasagain on the bridge to observe a search mission for the missing scientists Fifield and Millburn. Ofgreater interest to her, however, was David's own exploration of the facility. She ordered him to linkhis camera to her display, only to be cut off by the android when he entered the Juggernaut. WhenDr. Holloway's body, infected by the Black Goo chemical weapon, rapidly failed and the teamrushed back to the ship to save him, Vickers refused to allow him into the ship due to the risk ofcontamination. When Dr. Holloway begged her to kill him and approached her, Vickers saw nochoice but to immolate him with a flamethrower. After Weyland had been awakened and underwentpreparations to commune with the last living Engineer, Vickers made a last unsuccessful attempt towarn her father. After witnessing the disastrous outcome of the contact with the Engineer and herfather's death, Vickers ordered the ship to depart for Earth. Janek, who had promised to prevent the
Black Goo from reaching Earth, ignored her orders and rammed the ship into the departing Juggernautafter he had ejected Vickers' lifeboat. Seconds before impact, Vickers escaped the Prometheusin an escape pod. Soon after, Vickers was crushed by the rolling wreck of the Juggernaut.
