It is often debated among fans whether Vickers is a human or merely another android like David, albeit a more advanced model. Evidence for being human: Vickers sleeps in a cryo-chamber in the beginning of the film, something which is not necessary for an android as they do not require sleep. Vickers is later seen doing push-ups to presumably work off the disorientation from hypersleep. When Janek informs some of the crew members at the Engineer ship of a storm incoming, Vickers can be briefly seen in the background, exhaling cigarette smoke, showing that she is a smoker. It is implied in one scene that Vickers engages in intercourse with Janek, although this is never referenced again. Originally, footage was filmed of Vickers telling Janek, "You were a terrible lay, by the way," before she heads to the escape pod when Janek elects to crash the Prometheus, but it was removed from the final cut. Vickers constantly expresses emotions such as anger and shock and also expresses fatigue during the more physical scenes; David shows no emotions or fatigue. Vickers expresses jealousy when Peter Weyland states David is the closest thing he'll have to a son. Vickers calls Weyland her father. Vickers and Weyland constantly argued over the ownership of Weyland Corp as stated in the film. When Holloway ask David why he wears a space suit, David says that it is to blend in with humans, implying that it is not necessary for androids. If this is the case, Vickers would not have bothered to put on a space suit when fleeing the Prometheus. Damon Lindelof, the co-writer of Prometheus, has said that Vickers is not an android. Evidence for being an android: Janek jokingly brings up the possibility that Vickers is an android and the scene ends with the two of them heading off for implied sex which is something that is never referenced again (as stated above). Both Vickers and David refer to Weyland as their father, despite David being an android. The MedPod seen in the film is only capable of performing surgeries on males, which is very odd considering its use is for Vickers. However, it is likely the MedPod is actually for Weyland. When Weyland passes away, she expresses no emotion to the news. However, this could be a result of her deep hatred for him. Despite the fact that Vickers slept in a cryo-chamber, it is worth noting though that in Alien, Ash slept in a cryo-chamber as well to hide the fact that he was an android; the same could also be applied for Vickers if she is an android. Regarding the possibility of Vickers being an android, some fans have theorized that Vickers might not be aware of the fact that she is an android and has spent her whole life believing she is a human. If Meredith Vickers is indeed an android this would make her the second female android seen on-screen in the franchise with the first being Annalee Call from Alien Resurrection.
