You haven't missed anything. Scene Three - which shows David moving through the ship alone - is one best, and most consequential of the movie - which is precisely why I've left it untouched, and I see no reason to lay it out with images. If you care to read the scene, the full (re)Bound script is posted here, it begins with line 23 and ends at line 40. Or better yet, track down a copy of the movie (00:09:30 - 00:11:53), the scene is not just brilliant, it provides the key to David's deportment, if not his motivation: "The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts."
Meanwhile the changes I made to Scene Four are relatively minor, changed some interactions that rubbed me wrong, but made one meaningful change. I shifted film's liturgical calendar backward from Christmastide to Eastertide; death and resurrection rather than virgin birth.

00:11:54,800 -- 00:11:58,000
Automatic Voice: ++Attention! Destination threshold. ++
[As Prometheus reaches their destination, David finds Vickers awake from hypersleep, looking wet and doing push ups. She is obviously healthy, in fighting trim.]
42
00:12:59,800 -- 00:13:02,300
Vickers: Robe.
43
00:13:12,000 -- 00:13:14,000
How long?
44
00:13:14,001 -- 00:13:17,700
David: 2 years, 4 months, 18 days, 36 hours, 15 minutes...
45
00:13:17,701 -- 00:13:20,600
Vickers: NO - How long have the others been up?
David: You are the only one "up", ma'am.
46
00:13:20,601 -- 00:13:25,000
Vickers: Is there a problem?
David: No ma'am, everyone's fine.
47
00:13:26,100 -- 00:13:28,700
Vickers: Well, then wake them up.
[as the ship's crew are all awakening from hypersleep, we see David comforting Shaw as she's throws up]
48
00:13:39,300 -- 00:13:42,400
David: Try to relax Dr. Shaw.
49
00:13:42,401 -- 00:13:45,200
My name is David.
50
00:13:45,201 -- 00:13:47,900
Your mind and body are in the state of shock,
51
00:13:47,901 -- 00:13:52,400
as a result of stasis. All that is perfectly normal.
52
00:13:52,401 -- 00:13:56,700
Halloway: Ellie, you did it, we're here.
53
00:14:01,900 -- 00:14:06,400
Automatic Voice: ++Drink plenty of water, drink plenty of fluids. ++
54
00:14:06,401 -- 00:14:09,000
Automatic Voice: ++Hydration aids muscle mass. ++
[Meredith Vickers, her hair lacquered and dressed in a crisp grey business suit, enters the Mess]
[She finds Captain Janek smoking a cigar and laying out yellow marshmallow Peeps]
55
00:14:22,400 -- 00:14:25,400
Vickers: What the hell are those?
56
00:14:26,600 -- 00:14:31,000
Janek: Peeps. It's Easter. Can't travel far enough away to escape that.
57
00:14:31,001 -- 00:14:34,000
Vickers: Mission briefing is about to start captain.
58
00:14:34,001 -- 00:14:36,200
You might want to make your way down.
59
00:14:36,201 -- 00:14:38,600
Janek: The crew hasn't had breakfast yet. Some of us need to eat.
[The crew are eating and making small talk, Millburn sits opposite Fifield]
60
00:14:38,601 -- 00:14:44,300
Millburn: Is this seat taken? I'm Millburn, biology, nice to meet you.
61
00:14:49,000 -- 00:14:53,700
Fifield: No offence, but, I've been asleep two years.
62
00:14:53,701 -- 00:14:56,600
I'm generally not good company ‘till have my second cup of coffee.
63
00:14:56,601 -- 00:15:00,900
Seriously. Stop fucking looking at me.
64
00:15:02,700 -- 00:15:04,700
Millburn: OK.
