Walter is next to the Cryo-Stasis tubes and is picking up something with a skeptical look. We know there was a death during hypersleep on the Covenant.
Is Walter holding the evidence that someone sabotaged a Cryo-Stasis tube that resulted in Branson's death?

Yes, there's definitively a "Sherlock Holmes" vibe to this.
Eine Theorie die nicht auf Etwas solidem basiert ist für gewöhnlich nur Geschwätz.

He definitely wanted it on the end of something not his finger.

Something to do with the spore entering one's ear? I know that's a reach.

Looks like he's in the engine room...maybe...wait for it...an engine-ear?

Rick, I believe the same thing. What Walter is holding may be related to Branson's death.
Here is the image enhanced to view the Cryo-Stasis tubes more clearly.

That's actually pretty good Nycro, an "engine-ear?"

That's the word on the street Seanjohn.

Awesome Walter image! The fact that one of your creators killed another one can be a fairly disappointing experience.

Thank you Ati. Actually it might be refreshing to Walter to have the humans on the same page as him.

Pointed out the Dud Cryo-Chamber from a shot released a long time back now, well one of the first released images.
Notice where the Cables to the Cryo-Chambers go... The maybe Faulty One has something missing... compare where the Arrow is pointing to, then look at the area of the others.
Maybe Walter has found a component that has compromised a Cryo-Pod
