BTW, David's words at the end before he launches the pathogen and presumably destroys the Engineer home world are:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Which is taken from the poem, Ozymandias, something that should be familiar to any Breaking Bad fan. The line fits perfectly. Here's the entire poem.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
