David x Meredith

David x Meredith is the het ship between David 8 and Meredith Vickers from the Alien fandom.

Canon
Vickers was the daughter of Peter Weyland, the founder of Weyland Corporation. Weyland funded the creation of an android, which he named David. However, Weyland chose to give most of his attention to David instead of Vickers. This led to their relationship being strained. Eventually, archeologist Elizabeth Shaw contacted Weyland about a star map she had found which led to the moon LV-223. Weyland then funded the creation of the scientific vessel Prometheus, forcing Vickers to step in as CEO. David would then be placed on the vessel. Weyland then offered Vickers a position as the mission's director, a role which she reluctantly accepted. Weyland would then spend his remaining days in hypersleep aboard the Prometheus, with the crew, excluding his bodyguards, his doctor, David and Vickers, being none the wiser.

When the vessel neared its destination, Vickers was awoken from hypersleep. She then asked David about the status of the vessel's crew. When the vessel landed on LV-223, a team which included David left the vessel to explore a large artificial structure, while Vickers stayed behind in the vessel monitoring the expedition. When a windstorm began to approach the vessel, she threatened to lock down the vessel if the team did not return within the next fifteen minutes. In the end, most of the team, including David, managed to make it back to the vessel before the windstorm arrived. Vickers watched as several members of the team, including David, examined the remains of an Engineer's head that they had retrieved from within the structure. Following this, Weyland contacted David threw his visor-helmet, and Vickers queried him on what Weyland had said.

The next day, after the windstorm had died down, the team returned to the structure in hopes of reuniting with Fifield and Millburn, the two members of the team who had been left behind during the windstorm. However, after discovering Millburn's corpse, David cut off communication with Vickers. One of the team members, Charles Holloway, accidentally ingested some of the black liquid from the structure, and was rushed by the rest of the team back to the ship as the liquid caused an infection. Vickers was initially reluctant to let him back in, but eventually did so. He then begged to be killed and Vickers then burned him to death with a flamethrower.
