Alien Covenant Scorpion-Tail Mothership Battle Mystery Solved

I saw the movie two hours ago and I noticed the ship in the background area!

Because you knew where to look for it. :)

Our new task is to find Elizabeth behind a tree. :D

Nathan Adler - No, I don't. I saw that line in a written form, please forgive me if that source was not reliable.

I can confirm Dust Up is indeed a Fight, its more commonly used in the UK, and when we use the term it usually means some minor fight or disagreement so its used to describe two people have a disagreement that turns to a bit of violence before being split up.

Thanks Again for this Research ATI ;)

Very interesting find... it does now seem to indicate that after David starts the Bombardment the Mother-naught if you would realized and tried to intervine in some manner that ended up with both Ships Crashing.

That capture looks a bit odd like its just glued there, but i cant wait to the Blu-ray so we get Full HD Detail.

This certainly answers a Long Standing Question, as far as wondering where did the Scorpion-ship get to... we can now Rule out the Ships leaves Paradise to Warn others.

We can now Speculate that the beings (if any) on the Mother-naught/Scorpionaught would maybe not be infected by the Bombardment and so maybe the Crash left them injured and incapacitated... this would indeed provide David with Hosts for his Experiments and also Fresher Engineer Bodies for his Studies.

So this SOLVES TWO Mysteries ;)

Wayne Haag revealed the secret, I just copied here the comment in question. :)

The Storms could hide the surface from detection but indeed surely a ship heading near this System would detect a World thats potentially habitable. We can assume the Covenant once they detected where the Signal came from had indeed surveyed the World and confirmed from long range sensors it indeed looked more suitable than Origae-6

Good Point about Shaw plotting a course, i thought it was because she did not trust David at this point as he was in TWO Halves, and once he was back together they then activated the Navigation System and David could then automatically direct the ship there..

Thats what i assumed, as i would assume David had to keep his Cards close to his chest, as if Shaw knew she could get to Paradise without David being put back together, then she would have no need for him.. So David must have had her believe that he is needed in ONE Piece in order to operate he Ship, and i assume in the 6 Months or so before she decided to reattach his head.. David may have told Shaw where roughly Paradise is... and so Shaw was Plotting where to go.  As i would assume the Navigation System would have there homeworld in it.

So indeed BlackGooDrinker what you offer is a alternative way to look at it, as in a Fail-Safe where they wont leave directions to get to their home-world so easy.

As far as Engineer Weapons.. this would be interesting we can surely assume a Ancient Race at some point created various Weapons.

Fire and Stone Comics have a Engineer Energy Weapon Gun

Spaights Alien Engineers

"As they stare inside, baffled, the wall across the corridor -
directly behind them - silently unravels. The Sleeper is
revealed, a towering gargoyle in his flight suit.
He steps forth. Obscure devices clutched in his fists.
Too late they perceive him. They spin. Raise their guns.
Vanity and foolishness. This is the wrath of an angry god.

It seems time slows down.

The air roars in their ears. Their guns snap and bark
impotently. And then the Sleeper strikes.
The missiles he hurls at them are almost invisible. Neither
solid projectiles nor directed energy; more like knots tied
in the fabric of space itself.
The first missile crushes Ray like an invisible fist. The
second splashes Glasse against the wall like an insect."

Seems to imply the Engineer had like Gauntlets on that allowed them to use like Jedi-Sith Force kind of attacks.

Or alternatively it could be interpreted as having like Balls that he throws at them.

So indeed it would be interesting to see Engineer Weapons explored but i think on Film, Sadly we wont be seeing the Engineers again... not for a long time anyway.

Damn cool, great spot !
