#o…kay so this is also interesting because i don’t recall this being in the movie at all
#so—knowing that v-jer ‘patterns’ (saves information) by sending out a beam of energy to an object and scanning it in that way
#but in so doing inherently and ALWAYS destroying that object
#though such as in the case of ilia—the data gathered can be ‘reformed’ and v-jer can replicate the thing it’s scanned
#but only as a mechanical object—the passage above implies that it
#1. understood it’s mission was to gather data 2. understood data to be most effectively gathered in this way 3. arrived at a planet and
#‘pattered it completely’ which I take to mean it a) destroyed the *entire planet* or b) destroyed everything on its surface but left a
#dead geological foundation intact
#and by so doing—eliminating the atmosphere and the molecules there—killed the ‘carbon based units’ (life forms) on it through depravity of
#life requirements
#although it did not specifically intend to eliminate the carbon units bc it did not *bother* to scan them (also a significant demonstration
#of priorities)
#and then 4. went on to do this at countless other worlds
#THAT I think makes v-jer something very different
#i don’t want to imply at all that it understood it was doing this as anything negative and obviously has no concept of the morality
#or implication of this supreme interference w a planet
#but holy SHIT the idea that the probe earth sent out to say hello to other places? the probe we sent out with music and greetings and whale
#song… became this /planet destroying force/ that left NOTHING in its wake ? that’s a lot to handle
#and if this movie wasn’t horrible and the idea wasn’t stupidly excecuted maybe they’d have leaned into that.
#because that is also part of earth’s legacy now.
#the trail of smoldering worlds it left in its wake.
