A new viral for Ridley Scott's “Prometheus” has been unleashed online, part of the series that also brought us the creepy droid David-8 and Peter Weyland's TED talk. Check it out above.

This one features Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace of “The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo”), a scientist obsessed with finding humanity's origins no matter the cost.

It's just one of the many transmissions she's been sending Weyland Industries for weeks, in which she begs Peter Weyland to help her reach an unknown destination that might hold the answer to her question.

For those who don't wish to have more details from the film revealed, this new viral is a safe bet, because it does nothing more but set up a bit more background for Dr. Shaw.

Those who don't mind a little spoiling every now and then will also find below a new video released from the film, which shows the landing of Prometheus on an unknown planet.

“Prometheus” drops in theaters on June 8.
