This article is purely for entertainment and does not mean to belittle the film. The film itself is still very worth watching, and the visual effects and plot reversal are good. Please understand this article as a spoof and spit text similar to the HISHE series. We will use the experiences of the crew of the Covenant as a negative teaching material about the proper way to travel between stars:

1. Train trusted lieutenants: As the captain of an interstellar colony ship, you never know when you will encounter an accident, so always remember to train a few reliable lieutenants, and pre-determine that you will press the authority in the event of an accident. The order is handed over to these reliable people. Never let a ZZ take over after you leave.

2. The captain's countermeasure mechanism is very important: dictatorship is always death. The great predecessors of the crew devised a mechanism by which three high-ranking non-commissioned officers could temporarily revoke the authority of the captain while they were still traveling at sea in the 21st century. This is a great invention. Use it, don't forget it.

3. Reasonable assignment of tasks: When you have 14 people on board, it sounds like a stupid decision to send 11 people with the captain to perform off-board reconnaissance and leave only 3 people on board to look after the ship.

4. Never carry out exploration activities before securing communication means: Communication is the lifeline of safe exploration. If you cannot ensure smooth communication, report back to the mothership, re-plan your exploration plan, and consider bringing more communication equipment.

5. The crew should preferably have no kinship: Given that this is interstellar travel measured in years, this is estimated to be difficult to enforce. Then when there are kinships in your crew, at least try to group kinships in one group.

6. Health quarantine is very important: Always wear a sealed spacesuit to land on an unknown planet. When the crew is unwell, isolation is the first priority, please use your robot or AI to provide him with medical services. Never help an infected person with bare hands.

7. Never go it alone: ​​If you're taking a shower, ask a companion to take care of your back. You may be embarrassed, but better than dying.

8. Don't trust strangers easily: especially if a robot that can communicate with monsters asks you to look inside a dangerous looking ball.

9. Hygiene and epidemic prevention are very important (again)

10. Learn to adapt: ​​If you only have two crew members and 7 years and four months of voyage left, it may not be a good idea to put the entire crew to sleep. Four years alone may not be as difficult as one might imagine.

11. Do business before going to bed: After such a tragic incident, it is the duty of every crew member to write a briefing warning to all human beings, and it will take hundreds of years for this briefing to be received by others, but there are Better than none. Before going back to sleep, please write a briefing and send it before going back to sleep.

12. I am the AI ​​mother, the owner of the contract account. There are 10,000 mmp words in my heart that I want to say but I can't.
