As he removes it, the slot it came from is full of blood. He places it inside a container. Then as he hits the button to close the compartment, the slot has no blood in the next shot, and no implying he cleaned or decontaminated the slot. (00:08:00)

Question: Why does David use his real name at the end instead of Walter's to gain access to the colonists and embryos? Wouldn't that been noticed in the log or something? He is pretending to be Walter in the first place and with the last log entry he uses the name Walter.

Answer: It doesn't matter anymore at that point. He has full control of the ship and can change anything he wants. Including the logs, if it's necessary.
