Why Engineers Used a Flute ? How Juggernauts Work? Mother Juggernaut's Fate - Alien Covenant
Фильм және анимация
Why the Engineer use a flute to start the Juggernaut?
How juggernauts work?
What Happened to the mother Juggernaut?
Remember, this is just a theory and when I first read it it seemed a little bit hard to believe but when I looked at the evidence from Prometheus and Alien Covenant it actually made sense.
First of all, the most obvious explanation is that the ship's navigation system requires a flute sound to ensure that the pilot is in fact a living and intelligent being and not to a robot. But because David was programmed with an ability to create, he is able to pass as a humanoid.
Besides this simple explanation, there is much more to what the Juggernaut actually is and how it works.
From outside, it is a large, asymmetrical, wishbone-shaped craft, with thickened central sections between two horns, which bend upwards.
The ship resembles an ancient symbol called the Ouroboros. It represents cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself.
Jugernaut had numerous tunnels that go off to many places. The Juggernaut measured 170 in length and 116 meters wide with 61meters between two prongs
The Juggernaut had three large openings near ground level between two horns, leading into the interior of the Juggernaut.
When David opens the door to the big head room he uses some sort of substance that is organic (evidenced by him pulling his fingers apart and seeing those tiny little bits). This substance could be packed with information interacting with the hieroglyphs on the panel which then opens the door. W hen David's playing around with the controls he presses on those little egg-like buttons and they produce sound as if they were reacting to the touch.
When the crew meets the Engineer If you pay attention to the suit you’ll notice that it's integrated with his body because of the way it merges with his neck. In fact, Engineers are able to create life they are highly skilled in manipulating bio materials, so thier suits are also bio-engineers. For instance, it is integrated with the engineer's body. So their suits are also bio engineered and may act as living parts of their bodies
That brings up a theory that the ship or at least a part of it is organic and a result of bio engineered
Probably many people originally assumed that the Jugernauts is a nonbio technology because of the way we build our space ships, cars and other mechanisms. But since Engineers are so advanced in biological engineering, they integrate living organisms in to their spacecrafts.
That’s why the Jugernaut is a mix of a biological and mecanical components so we can pretty much say that the ship is alive.
I know it may sound a bit ridiculous, but hold on because it actually answers many question from prometheus and what happened to Juggernaut and the mother ship in Alien Covenant
That would explain why the interior of the Juggernaut resemble more a living organism than a space-going vessel, with skeletal walls, circular gangways and steep passages. When the Engineer prepares to lanch the ship, it seems like the seat envelops him, and he becomes a part of in.
When the crew enters the Jugernaut, the texure of walls starts to change as if the ship detected an unknown organism and responded by changing the environment. The crew also notices that something inside the ship generates an atmosphere so it’s possible that the Juggernaut has a mechanism to produce oxygen for Engineers or on organic of the ship needs oxygen itself.
The engineer plays a flute to activate a part of the navigation system, the sound must be of the right frequency to communicate with the Juggernaut’s bio part and thus activate the ship. This can be a producers’s refence to the string theory that suggests everything is made of vibrations so by playing a certain frequency the Engineers are able to get access to interstellar travel.
I also noticed in the scene where the ship Prometheus crashes the Juggernaut, you can hear some weird low frequency sounds and it may be just the music but id doesn’t fit to the rythm so if this theory is correct these sound can be produced by the Juggernaut itself as a response to being destroyed.
Now let’s talk about how the Jugernaut and the mother ship crashed. Yes actually know from the movie that the mother ship was also taken down. when Daniels and Lope leave the Paraise planet, For a few seconds we can actually see the crashed mother juggernauts in the background at the base of the mountain.
So how did the ships crashed. We know now that they have biological or living components and so when David released such a big amount of the black goo in the atmosphere, some of the pathogen might have

The flute is a key. Not all keys are physical. Music has keys. Everything has a resonant frequency, Tesla understood this well. Thus the flute was a key triggering the resonant frequency of the ship. Look into cymatics, it's very interesting and even more so with the theological things tied into Prometheus. The book of Job says.." Where were you when the world was created and all the angels SANG together with joy?" A tone! It's pretty cool if you think of it.
Going with the theory that the Engineer ships are biomech and that, as seen in Promethus, the goo doesn't seem to actually affect the Juggernaut when it's spilled down the sides of the containers, I wonder if we've got the purpose of the goo or pathogen all wrong. What if the black pathogen is actually a form of fuel for the Engineer ships that keeps the biomech of the ships alive and able to make adaptions and repairs as needed? What if the pathogen/goo was toxic to other non-plant based biologies in the fact that it terraforms and/or destroys their DNA because it's too strong to perform it's original function on weaker biologies than the ships, thus transforming the other lifeforms that come into contact with it into primal horrors according to their individual biology? I don't really think this is actually something they'd consider revealing but it is definitely an interesting thought and possible plot twist.

But was mentioned that engineers know how to handle the goo, they might have tech to prevent the goo from infiltrating the juggernaut.
The inside of the helmet that the space jockey is about to have equipped looks organic and not highly technological. There is no visible visor nor wires or lights. The pilot may be able to link his central nervous system to the ship in order to be more efficient when piloting the vessel since it would in theory be an extension of the pilot himself. This may be why the flute needs to be used so that the juggernaut knows that it is accepting a link with an organic being and not an AI or robot. Until David was able to bypass it by playing the flute.
It sucks that you do a better job of telling this story than Ridley Scott.

The point is basically this: majority only hate, left disappointed with RS's work. Like the Star Wars sequels, nobody can appreciate the themes that are presented before us. The negativity only confirms the Engineers reasons for resetting humanity. We have to work together as a collective consciousness to flourish. Not fight hate with hate. Save what we love. Alien: Awakening will have the rest of the Engineers seen leaving the plaNet from the Prometheus prologue to see one of their homeworlds in destruction, will put Walter back together to lead them to David & his created army. Engineers will be forced to unite with humanity to overcome the larger threat - Deacon, seen in the ending of Prometheus.

Ridley Scott can tell a good story, it's when executive, studios and other producers get in the way and change things.
This might also explain why David is obsessed with mastering the flute in covenant. We already know he desires to be more human, and if the ship crashed as a possible result of not being able to use the flute well enough to operate or land the ship he would definitely want to improve that flaw and so he eventually learns how to “create” his own music.
The idea of a bio ship was actually introduced by Geiger himself. He pitched the idea to Scott and he loved it. It is pretty common in sci-fi to find living ships. The most famos one being Maya from Farscape.

Thank you for helping to show how incredible these movies really were
I think it is indeed quite plausible that the Juggernauts are living organisms. Most likely not like an animal , not with own intelligence or even a consciousness, such a ship would certainly not require a pilot, but maybe more comparable to a tree or a plant. Given their seemingly organic structure, the Juggernauts really look like they are actually grown, not assembeled of individual parts. As the engineers seem to be true masters of biotechnology and are even capable of turning their own skin into space suits it is just logical for them to "engineer" an organism which is made for traveling through space and naturally able to withstand its harshness instead of laboriously constructing an artifical vessel like we do.
This is a very small thing, but I had always envisioned the Engineer ship flying "prongs" forward, but the movies seem to show them flying "prongs" rearward. I'm just wondering how many other people were and are disoriented by seeing the ship as it appears to be flying backwards. It's like looking at pictures of a car you thought was so cool for a long time and then finding out what you thought were brake lights were headlights.

Exactly. And they always show the (now) back part, we have no idea how the supposed front looks like. This is unspoken of. Everywhere else the back of a ship is rarely shown, so I suspect the prongs side WAS always the front side, but they changed that for the movie, I don't know why, maybe to make it even more weird ...
great Alien video kroft! loved every moment of it
The engineers ship does not resemble the Ouroboros. The snake (or dragon in some depictions) actually has to swallow his tail (hence the symbol of infinity) and the ends of the ship don't connect at all. I think this comparison is a stretch.

maybe blowing the flute was just a shortcut of starting the ship by using a 3 dimensional map of an authorized engineer's lungs when playing a particular note (and series of notes)?

This is a fascinating theory. I love it. It totally ties into Giger's designs and how the derelict and space jockey were more bone like in Alien.

Kroft, you're SUPERB!!! Thank you!!! So many wonderful theories, thesis, speculations. You're the Engineer of our imagination :)
The biomechanical universe imagined by Giger is all-encompassing....why wouldn't the the derelict and juggernauts be alive? I always assumed this from first seeing Alien in 1978 - why is it being debated? The space jockey technology would be far beyond the engineers copy and paste versions though - inside the derelict, space and time would be suspended, inner chambers stretching forever within a fifth dimension transcending our concepts of linear spacial boundaries (like a tardis....) Enjoyed and agree with your theory. Keep up the good work but go back to your original slower speech style....forget these fan-boys and their pet-peeves!
So this is why David taught Walter to play flute
Very good point! I never thought about the ship and their suits being bioengineered. The flute explanation is excellent.
I love your theories man
Math and music are very interconnected. Those who are very intelligent in regards to math are also usually quite good at learning music.
Fascinating analysis! Even if your presumption about the ship being alive is wrong it's a wonderful interpretation. Ridley would be proud.
I fully enjoyed it..thank you 😍😍😍😍
I can't wait for the next movie. R.Scott has alot of explaining to do there are alot questions we all have and I hope he answers them.
Your analysis seems spot on to me!
So the Juggernauts are like the Wraith ships in Stargåte: Atlantis?
Bro, you just blew my mind, I never thought about that in all these years that the juggernauts were of organic properties. Makes perfect sense with everything about the ship and the suits were embedded into their bodies, that shit blew my mind!
how can David play a flute if he does not breathe? he's clearly not a human, so technicaly he does not need lungs...
Great! Keep it up!
I thought I was done after the movie was over but your videos are awesome thank you
It's very simple. The flute and its pattern produce certain frequencies and harmonics. All it is is a safety measure. The ship will activate when this specific sound pattern is played. Without that flute, pattern and engineer that ship would not start. Think of it like a very secure and sophisticated immobiliser for the ship. As for the ship being partly alive? Dont see it. And the room that changed wasnt on the ship. It was in the labs away from the ship. The mural began to tarnish because the environment had been changed in the room for the first time in over 2000 years. The materials in the mural would have oxidised. Either that or the mural itself was some sort of environmental monitor. But it had nothing to do with what you have suggested.

Pretty good theory man. I concur.
That's a lot of theorization. The juggernaught - uroboros thing made me smile. Giger actually picked this design because he used organic material, in this case... a rib. So it's just because a rib was used to design it that it looks so, nothing to do with uroboros :).

Love how you say the science behind juggernauts. Lol. Made me smile
Very interesting theory.
The original Giger's design for what has become the "Alien" was called "biomechanoid" and all the 1979 Alien extraterrestrial designs looked really bio-mechanoidly too, so it would make sense the Engineer's technology is a marriage of those two elements. Nice video, thx!

My idea for a third alien/prometheus movie is as follows: The engineers are the main characters in the movie and comes to the planet that was in the Prometheus movie. There they find Weyland inside the crashed spaceship. They have a blue elixir which they empty all over him and bring him to life. In the next part they arrive at the planet from alien covenant and find the other robot(Walter) who is david's twin.The engineers use the blue elixir and repairs him. Once awaken the engineers and Weyland get to know all the horrible things that David has done, and weyland says "we have to stop David" . They set course for origae. When they arrive,they scans all the planet,and finds the planet is full of hostile organisms except on a high mountain where they discover that there are humans inside a cave. Inside the cave they meet a herd of children, who tell that when they had lived on the planet for over ten years, they began to be attacked by Xenomorphs and all the adults died or were turned into these creatures. There were also great giants developed by someone the children calls David. The engineers get ready to wipe out all the Xenomorphs that David has created, but the great giants manage to escape with one of the engineers' spaceships. The engineers and Weyland hunts the spaceship and manage to force the spaceship down on the planet lv426.Where it start sending a distress signal. The engineers return to Origae to find David, but discover that he has escaped. In the last part we see David arriving and meeting an unknown alien species on a tropical like planet.And that makes the cliffhanger that ends the third movie.

The nightmarish fusion of life and machinery was an obsession of H. R. Giger's. And it was he, who designed the Juggernaut. And the Space Jockey. That alone suffices for me to support your theory.
David send a "message" to Elizabeth, when playing at the flute :)
In engineering there's something called topology optimisation which shapes materials based on the forces they need to withstand, and often results in organic shapes. Biology does this too. Eg your bones reshape as you grow in part directed by forces you experience. Maybe the ship is like a tree in that relatively small mass is actually 'living' and the rest is 'dead' structural material. Honestly it's a bunch of tradeoffs, bulk material vs nanostructured, growth vs machining, repairability vs strength etc etc
Biotechnology...makes sense actually...never thought of that. I just thought that the sound activation was an artsy-fartsy security feature.
Hi Kroft...love your videos very helpful entertaining an informative....i have question tho....what us that music you use in the background for your videos cause here i can hear it again in this video an just wanted to know what the music is what track is it
The biotek style of the ship as well as the Engineer's suit as well as the Alien in all its form's was inspired by and created by the Swiss artist H.R. Gieger and his art is full representations of biology mixed with technology. This could be the main reason why we see this in the films. It adds to the mysterious dark space horror aesthetic.
David doesn't need to create anything to blow the flute. He already knows how to use it because he is made to resemble human in all ways, playing basketball, playing piano etc. He learned everything in a split of a second, that's why he can read all the writings/manual on the Spaceship wall and operate the spaceship after seeing in hologram video how SpaceJock operated them. Well, just like we are using remote control to operate machines, flute might be the way to operate the Spaceship. Walter obviously was made just to serve human, that's why he doesn't know how to play flute, playing flute is not a creation, is a learning steps, that's how David taught him. But making new song, new instrument or create new breed is creation, only David manage to do that and he hopes Walter can join him too to be the partner of creation.
I think you have to consider when the original movie came out and also another book around the same time period called Contact by Carl Seagan. In the sci-fi Contact story there is brief comments on new tech from advanced civilization. One of these was a vat that you prepare in a certain way and it self organizes an organic framework in the case sort of like bone marrow for support. While DNA was know two years before the term genetic engineering was new as this time. Before that there was a “food from oil” concept. You put genetic instructions in a vat of oil and pull out proteins etc. Pulling out formed structures is the next step to the imagination. Today we tend to thing of this work as requiring a scaffolding instead but that is now and not then. If the ship is not properly alive it was at least this vat grown version of genetic engineering line of future imagining that was popular at the time.
Interesting theory
interesting. this could explain how the creatures they first encounter in prometheus came to be.
Good theory....
Sound vibration is what causes Energy to take manifest into physical form. In the beginning was the word, an the word was God.
Very interesting and exciting. If so, maybe Derelict sent the signal to Nostromo by itself, not by the last survivors on it. It tried to warn everyone who were close to LV-426.
the first aliens movie ship i thought was organici,e was alive at one time!
Musical performances are probably far more varied than alphanumeric passwords, and you don't reveal the password via fingerprints when you play a flute.
Nice theory indeed @kroft. I only just now watched Prometheus and Covenant, very interesting movies for a sci-fi nerd like myself. Concerning both the mothership and the Jagernauth crashing it could could be because of the black goo being released in the atmosphere and coming into contact with the ships as you hypothesized, however in Prometheus we see the black ‘cannisters’ being activated inside spilling the black goo inside the Jagernauth when the human crew gains access to the room where the cannisters were being stored. So at that moment the ship should have already been contaminated by the black goo, rendering the ship useless. Leading me to the idea that either the containment room where the cannisters were stored had a special resistance against the black goo OR both ships (mothership and Jagernauth) back on paradise planet have some kind of (symbiotic) connection with either the planet, its inhabitants or some kind of control center that was affected when David unleashed hell on the planet. One way or the other I think the theory that the ship is ‘alive’ makes sense, purely by looking at its composition as described by dr. Shaw.

Yup, the obvious scenario.
Great points! Isn't it the biggest shame to now know that it's Michael Fassbender and NOT these guys who created the xeno?
Really love how the ships are alive even though they're not sentient like the reapers from Mass effect they are literally the perfect combination between synthetic and organic material.
Fascinating and compelling theory. (I'd heard it elsewhere last week, I believe.) One thing that I'm still curious about is the discrepancy between the size of the Engineers (roughly 9') and the Space Jockey (at least double this). While your theory posits answers to questions many have asked re: the Juggernaut, including why the Space Jockey seems to have been fossilized over two millennia, when it's only been a decade, it doesn't explain this undeniable discrepancy. However, it might just be a mistake on Scott's part; that he didn't properly reconcile the end of the story ('Alien') with the beginning ('Prometheus'). AKA 'laziness'.
I still think that the Juggernaut is not the same as the Derelict. I prefer to think that Juggernaut is not alive and is a built in metal replica of the Space Jockey's Derelict, which has a different shape and is in fact a prolongation of the Space Jockey himself. And yes, I do consider Space Jockeys being a completely different and not humanoid species.
This is actually very interesting and kinda makes sense

Yeah
COOL G RAPP layout man , what is that musical score sound in background
Makes perfect sense they would use a flute.
