Precursor invasion planen (moderata spoilers för Pacific Rim)

14

Mot mitten av Stilla havet, blir det uppenbart att de enheter som skickar Kaiju

are sentient, and are deliberately mounting an invasion of Earth. Additionally, the Kaiju are clones.

Till sist attackerar Kaiju en stad,

going after Newt. This Kaiju is pregnant.

Varför skulle en intelligent art skicka den speciella Kaiju till strid? Är de som förbrukar? Ansåg de att tillräcklig skada hade orsakats att det skulle finnas relativt liten fara?

Was she supposed to give birth soon after arriving? They obviously knew she was pregnant, given the cloning, so it couldn't have been a mistake.

Precursorer , Kaiju-mästarna, avslöjar aldrig officiellt sig eller deras plan för världsdominans. Att skicka en gravid Kaiju genom sprickan är en seger för precursorerna, för om en art inte är tillräckligt stark för att stoppa Kaiju, då Kaiju föder och förstör målplaneten så mycket snabbare.

Vad vi vet

The only information we have regarding the thinking processes of the Precursors comes from two scientists who, using the mind-linking software commonly called The Drift, used to pilot the Jaegers, link their minds to a dying Kaiju and discover the intent of the Precursors in the minds of the Kaiju.

  • Med detta sagt kan orsaken att vi skickar en gravid Kaiju till strid inte definitivt fastställas. Vi är tvungna att studera prekursornas beteende och deras proxier, Kaiju genom deras handlingar.

  • Kaiju började sitt angrepp på jorden fem år tidigare och de minskade tiden mellan attacker, långsamt och stadigt. Genom att använda en matematisk modell skapad av Hermann Gottlieb var det bestämt att varelserna uppträdde med en matematisk precisionsindikerande intelligens bakom deras ankomst.

  • Men det var inte förrän forskaren Newton Geiszler utförde en drift med Kaiju-sinnena som visade sant intellekt som skickar Kaiju genom den dimensionella rivningen mellan jorden och föregångarens dimension.

Geizler determined the Kaiju which attacked the Earth were all genetic clones of previous Kaiju, exact cellular copies. This genetic capacity indicated a high level of technological sophistication on the part of the Precursors. It was implied the Kaiju may be little more to the Precursors than biological weapons used to clear planets of infestations. (Any lifeforms which lives on a planet the Precursors want to own are considered vermin.)

Graviditet

If we take the information that the Kaiju CAN be pregnant, it could means the species (or technology, depending on your perspective) is possibly parthenogenetic and/or self-fertilizing. If that is the case, becoming pregnant may simply be part of the natural cycle of the Kaiju, assuming they weren't being killed by the Jaegers. Note the Kaiju that was pregnant wasn't immediately killed upon arrival. It might be that ALL Kaiju were capable of this process but had not survived long enough to activate the ability. From the perspective of an invader, having a bioweapon capable of breeding itself means a successful unit which gets to breed is more liable to clear the planet sooner and more effectively.

The alternative consideration that the pregnant Kaiju was just an opportunity to send two for the price of one. If the first Kaiju could settle down and establish itself, then a pregnancy would allow it to continue to wreck further havoc using a fast growing offspring.
