American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

At the same time, a man appeared outside Vickers's cabin door.

He is the male lead in the movie, and also the villain in a certain sense, the android David.

The spaceship reached its designated destination; he was there to awaken Vickers.

It was clear, however, that Vickers woke up first.

As he walked into Vickers' cabin to check on her, he saw Vickers talking to herself in front of the wardrobe.

Because the trading system is not visible to outsiders, he could only see and hear Vickers speaking.

"Do you think there could be anyone else in my cabin?" Vickers sneered, reflecting her consistent attitude towards David—utter disgust!

"I'm sorry, ma'am... I was just concerned about you!" David quickly apologized. He also thought that Vickers was probably hallucinating and talking to himself. Although he was already an android with his own emotions, the dimensional trading device was obviously beyond his understanding and imagination.

“I don’t need you… Now leave and do what you’re supposed to do, wake up the crew!” Vickers commanded.

“As you wish!” Although he found Vickers’ attitude a bit strange, David still obeyed and left.

After David left, Vickers promptly closed the hatch to prevent the situation from happening again.

"Sorry to have you laugh at me, but don't worry about it too much, it's just a robot!" After closing the door, Vickers continued to greet Josie, "By the way, I still don't know your name."

“Josie, Josie Kahn, from the United States in 1956. Of course, my world is very different from yours!” Josie briefly introduced her world.

"...Wow, Captain America? You're in the Marvel universe?" After Josie finished introducing him, Weeks couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Clearly, just like my world and the robot world, Vickers' world also has Marvel comics.

Having learned from past mistakes, Josie wasn't too surprised. What surprised him, however, was that a strong woman like Vickers would actually read comics.

“I never expected Ms. Vickers to like reading comics?” Josie said, feigning surprise.

“Haha, I don’t actually read comics, but I worked for a while when the Weyland Group acquired Marvel Studios, so I know about it!” Vickers explained, while in his heart he had already made up his mind that after the call with Josie ended, he would find all the Marvel comics and movies and watch them.

Upon hearing what Vickers said, Josie instantly understood.

In Prometheus, or rather, in the Alien world, the Weyland Corporation can be said to be present throughout the entire storyline from beginning to end.

Before Project Prometheus, the Weyland Corporation was already the world's largest conglomerate, so acquiring a major cultural industry IP like Marvel was a perfectly normal operation.

"That's enough small talk, Ms. Vickers. You may not know this, but you, and your Prometheus Project—no, not just the project, but the entire human civilization—are facing a tremendous crisis!" After a brief chat with Vickers, Josie's expression turned serious as she got down to business.

“Crisis? What crisis?” Vickers asked, puzzled.

"It's a long story. It all started with an extremely advanced civilization, which we can call the Engineers. And this Engineer civilization is the Prometheus you're looking for..." Josie then began to explain without any reservations.

Chapter 292 Here, I'm in charge!

"In other words, the birth of life on Earth was indeed the work of this so-called Engineer civilization. Weyland's idea was correct, but he was wrong about one thing: that the Engineer civilization created life on Earth as just a side experiment, and in reality, they didn't care about humanity at all?" After Josie finished recounting everything about the Engineer civilization, Vickers revealed a strange smile.

In fact, she disagreed with the Prometheus expedition from the very beginning. It was just a desperate choice by the dying Weyland, who hoped to get a way to prolong his life from the Engineers, whom he called "Prometheus".

The Wieland Group paid an unimaginable price for this.

After all, such an expedition spanning tens of light-years was a very challenging first for their world's Earth, and the entire project cost one trillion dollars.

Ultimately, it was only by giving up nearly half of its assets to its competitor, the Yuya Group, that the Wieland Group managed to raise the funds needed for the entire plan.

I wonder how the old man would feel knowing that all that time, effort, and enormous sums of money he spent would only amount to his own wishful thinking.

Anyway, she was filled with schadenfreude.

Although Weyland was Vickers' father, Vickers never felt fatherly love from him; she was just an illegitimate child.

If it weren't for the enormous legacy of the Weyland Group, she wouldn't bother with this old geezer, much less follow him to this godforsaken place dozens of light-years away!

"You don't seem worried at all?" Josie asked curiously, looking at the smile on Vickers' face.

“Since you’ve told me all this, it means you must have a way to solve my current predicament, right?” Vickers said with a smile.

What Josie told her included that the planet they were going to, LV-223, was not an engineer's place, but a terrifying biological testing ground.

When he first heard this information, Vickers did start to worry about the safety of the trip.

Biological weapons—Vickers knew all too well how terrifying that was, let alone a biological weapon created by a civilization far beyond Earth's reach.

But she quickly realized that since Josie had said so, there must be a way to help her. Isn't this interdimensional trading device for that purpose?

Let's share what we have!

No wonder she's a powerful woman who can lead a giant corporation; talking to someone like her is so easy.

So Josie didn't hesitate either.

Vickers displayed all sorts of goods directly on the trading board for his viewing.

After seeing the descriptions of the various goods in the trade section, Vickers was completely dumbfounded.

Is it really 1956 where you are? Not 6591?

Super Soldier Potions and Vibranium are one thing, but what's with the Star Destroyer? Do you think I've never seen Star Wars?

Of course, what she saw was not a real Star Destroyer, but a Cheerleader-class assault landing ship. The real starships had not yet been built in the Star Wars universe, and our protagonist Anakin was still just a Jedi Padawan undergoing rigorous training in the Jedi Sanctuary.

"Are these things real?" Vickers asked incredulously.

“I have no reason to lie to you, do I?” Josie shrugged.

“Then how can I get these things? I’m sure you’re not taking dollars!” Vickers said, taking a deep breath.

“Haha, clever. But you don’t need to worry too much. I’m always very generous. I can give you a batch of goods on credit. As for repayment, it’s actually very simple. Aren’t those things on planet LV-223 the best form of payment?” Josie then shared her thoughts.

"...You mean you want to use my world as a testing ground for researching those biological weapons?" Vickers' expression changed drastically after Josie finished speaking.

"It's a fair deal, isn't it? Even if you don't research those things, as long as Earth knows about them, it will still research them. So why don't you do it yourself? In the process, you can gain far more wealth and status than the Weyland Group possesses. If you're willing, with my help, ruling the entire Earth and establishing a brand new interstellar human civilization is not a problem at all!" Josie said dismissively.

Yes, his goal was the Xenomorph, this strange creature.

While the Engineers' technology is also advanced, Josie doesn't think it's much better than the technology in the Star Wars universe.

However, the potential for research into aliens is enormous.

However, this kind of creature is extremely uncontrollable, and Josie does not want to put it into her own world for research—but isn't the Prometheus world an excellent ready-made testing ground?

He provides the resources and technology, and Vickers provides the labor; it's a very fair deal.

Josie's words left Vickers with a mixture of emotions. Turning the whole world into a biological testing ground—she couldn't even imagine the consequences if those terrifying creatures were allowed to proliferate.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. With the technology I’ve provided that far surpasses your world’s, and even the support of magic, you can completely minimize the danger. Of course, if you really don’t want to, that’s fine too. Consider this Super Soldier Potion as a token of my friendship. If you think there’s anything else of value, then contact me.” After saying that, Josie traded a Super Soldier Potion and prepared to end the communication.

“No, I agree!” Vickers understood that this was just Josie playing hard to get, but she also understood that with the things on LV-223 that had not yet been logged into, she really didn’t have the right to negotiate with Josie on other matters.

With her already strong ambitions, she quickly figured out the key to it.

Since it's not me who's going to die, what's there to be afraid of?

“A wise choice! So, what’s next…” Seeing that Vickers had agreed, Josie smiled with satisfaction.

................................................

“Madam, the mission briefing is about to begin. Are you feeling unwell?” The android David stood outside Vickers’s hatch and asked Vickers in the room through a call device.

He had been ordered to leave by Vickers and shouldn't have bothered them again.

The problem is that more than an hour has passed, and he has already helped all the hibernating members wake up and arranged for them to eat and do everything else.

Next, Vickers should chair the pre-landing mission briefing meeting.

However, Vickers has never shown up.

This is very inconsistent with this woman's lifestyle.

David would naturally have some concerns.

Of course, what he was really worried about was not Vickers' safety, but the progress of the investigation, since he only obeyed the orders of Weyland, who was still in hibernation.

As for the others... they see him as a tool, but doesn't he also use them as tools?

Vickers was no exception.

"Just a moment, it'll be right there!" After a short wait, Vickers' response came from inside the cabin, which reassured David slightly.

If there's no response, he might just force his way in—of course, by "force his way in," I mean cracking the security system of the electronic door, not actually breaking down the door by force. Although he's an android, he doesn't yet have the ability to break through a metal door that's several tens of centimeters thick.

A few minutes later, the door was opened.

Dressed impeccably and with a ruddy complexion, Vickers emerged from the room.

"Madam, are you really alright?" David asked, somewhat worried.

“Of course, I feel better than ever before!” Vickers gave David a rare smile, which startled David.

After all, in David's memory, Vickers had never smiled at him.

“However, things might not be so good for you next!” Just as David was in a daze, Vickers’s delicate hand had already touched David’s cheek without him even realizing it.

"Madam?" Even as an android, David was very uncomfortable with Vickers' sudden intimate gesture. He tried to break free, but found that he couldn't.

How is that possible? He's an artificial human; his strength is far beyond what humans can compare to.

Meanwhile, Vickers's strength increased, and his face began to contort.

The next second, David's head detached directly from his body.

"How did you do that? Why did you do that?" Although his head had been twisted off and he had lost control of his body, his mind could still communicate normally, and he asked Vickers with a puzzled expression.
