Sorry, but BENEATH and ESCAPE are 100% canon, unlike the 1974's TV series (which is a different continuity). So we must take in account the fact that they "retconned" some concepts. Nothing too dramatical, buddy.
Brent's speculation in the aftermath has NOTHING to do with the original rescue mission. He was just guessing on what had TRULY happened.
Taylor's ship disappeared, so the rescue mission followed its trajectory.
The guys in ESCAPE were just talking with approximative terms, being not too detailed. They talked about "DISINTEGRATION" only after Brent had been launched many months before. At the time Brent was launched, they had sensed that there was a warp out there and they were in for an exploration. So the "Disintegration" concept was a kind of official cover-up, or just one of the many theories floating among them.
Well, have you read my work? Do you like it?
e.g. in your first reply you said that the mentioned "disintegration" proved there was "some new kind of space-time warp out there. That's why they launched Brent's ship as rescue in the very first place."
Which I thought was interesting, that maybe I'd missed something there, and that the rescue mission did have some sensible basis.
However in your post above you're saying that "the "Disintegration" concept was a kind of official cover-up". Which is it? Because if Taylor's ship didn't disintegrate, we can only assume that it disappeared off at near the speed of light, as expected per Taylor's comments, and into the future as expected. There would be no plausible reason for a rescue mission...
I don't know what you meant by sorry they're 100% canon comment. Never claimed otherwise. All the films are canon, even if they don't link up due to the contradictory historys given. But that's where the fun of speculating alternative timelines comes from in the first place.
Hello Midi,
I'm Italian, not English. Frankly, I misinterpreted the term "idle". That's pure language barrier! Sorry.
Well, if memory serves me well... was it the President of the USA or Otto Hasslein to talk about "disintegration"? That's why I was talking about "cover-up". I don't remember it very well, because many and many years passed by since I wrote my timelines or watched ESCAPE.
I will check it out.
Maybe Taylor thought they were travelling at the speed of light in the "normal space", but that was a "deception" of the surroundings, since they had fallen into a Time Warp and weren't too distant from planet Earth/The Planet of the Apes...?
Since in ESCAPE they talked about the two ships "disintegrating" into Earth's orbit (and we can interpret it as being the space near Earth, thus not so literally), we could theorize that they launched Brent's ship because Taylor's ship (ICARUS) "slipped" into the Time Warp when it was located very close to Earth, and they (ANSA) weren't expecting this at all.
Yeah, it's fun to speculate about it. Said that, I mean the POTA timeline as a "rewrittable" one and not like a set of two timelines created by Cornelius & Zira
I'm telling you that because the term "alternate" is generally used to design parallel universes.
