Voices of Space Jokeys

I guess this theme was discussed earlier, but i think it is needed to be discussed deeper so that we can find out something new using what we know about Prometheus....

In that transmission in Alien, I think it's more of an automated signal then an actual SJ voice. Only cause at that time of filming, I don't think they had any intention of giving us a sample of the SJ's voice.

I don't know why they did away with that and replaced it with what's in the film now - it's a hell of a lot more creepy.

Also, odd how Mother translated the signal as more of a "Stay away" then an SOS. . . Makes me wonder how SJ's could be the bad guys in Prometheus. Why be evil etc, then just put a stay away signal on 1 of their ships. Unless a human survivor did it as a last stand kinda thing.

MindBender, i mean that we need to discuss it deeper using new facts of Prometheus we didn`t have earlier....Come on, we can use even the facts that Engineers can be Annunaki, we have discussed lots of themes, why not?

Interesting, Lyle. But I have to question whether a human survivor could conceivably interact with an alien spaceship adequately enough to send out a distress beacon. But it'll be interesting to see. We know how deceptive Ash was. Perhaps Mother is not as forthcoming about that message, either.

@Jones - It would make sense I suppose that in Prometheus, we'll see the last survivor activating the signal heard in Alien, it'd be a good tie in scene I think. A human could well manage to decipher how to use some system on a "SJ" ship, given enough time.

Well, let me use District 9 as an example. Those alien weapons could not be used without alien biometrics. It seems to me an advanced race could conceivably have a biomechanical interface with its own technology that humans could not interact with. But then look at us mere humans--we have biometrics ourselves. My laptop has a biometric reader so that I can log in to Windows using a finger swipe. Now, if we see a human mutate into something that includes SJ DNA, then sure, send out that distress beacon. : )

jones, that is really a nice thought. And i also think that such an advanced race as SJs must have an ability to get mental access to the whole ship and feel and controll it like their own body. And i think they could do that with the help of the chair. The biomech suit gives them a kind of new senses of matirial similiar to the ship...Also the chair could give them access to xenos mind and controll it...but it is still and idea...

that horn sound during the trailer may be part of the Message to stay away and don`t land or the dinner bell for the aliens

LIke I said before, We have ZERO evidence that it is a warning or an S.O.S. !!! Also, we do not even know for a fact that was not a message transmitted soley for others in the Space Jockey Race!!! The Jockey could have been letting his species know something went wrong with the intended delivery of XENO's to EARTH intended for terraforming that planet as punishment for the crew of Prometheus stealing some of the vials!!! We Just Do Not Know! Bonus: In the collectors extended edition of ALIEN there is an extended shoot of the message being deciphered by Dallas and Lambert and it is clearly a VOICE... an ALIEN VOICE... which fits with my theory that the derelict never sent out an SOS or a warning either, it was a message, a status update of an accident or of a deliberate derailing of or attack on his ship in space...intended for his home world!!!

@Lyle the stay away thing could have been from a survivor and the SJs indeed may not me the enemy,because i read somewhere on here that there may be somthing far worse tht we havent seen yet than the SJ's which was related to one of RS's quotes.
