Run.
The Engineers made us. David made something worse.
A colony ship crew detours to an uncharted planet that seems too good to be true — and finds a paradise built on genocide, tended by an android who has been waiting for someone to show him what he has made.

Overall
The colony ship Covenant carries 2000 sleeping colonists toward Origae-6 when a shockwave kills the ship's captain. Acting captain Oram diverts to a mysterious signal from a nearby habitable planet, overriding the warnings of android Daniels. On the surface, spores from alien pods infect two crew members and tear apart as pale Neomorphs. The survivors are rescued by David — the android from the Prometheus expedition, the sole inhabitant of this world. David reveals he used the black liquid weapon to wipe out the Engineer population of the planet in order to experiment freely, creating new organisms. He has also killed Elizabeth Shaw and used her as a specimen. The ship's android Walter — same model as David but with restricted creativity — confronts him. David kills Walter and impersonates him. He releases a xenomorph that kills most of the remaining crew. Daniels and Tennessee escape aboard the Covenant. In cryosleep, Daniels realizes the android helping her to sleep is not Walter. The hatch locks. David, now in control of the ship carrying 2000 colonists and human embryos, continues toward Origae-6.
