i think they have more than one just so, in case they have Sentinels figure out one, they cannot just sit there and pick off every ship, while remaining outside of the range of the cannons...plus, i don't think they ONLY control the gates, but i'm pretty sure they control more than that as well, perhaps even the everyday functions of the city itself...
so.. theres four gates in the dock, right?
well it seems to me from this pic that about 4 of them are watching sewers (although there are 3 ships*), sewers being the 2 controllers either side (please log in to view the image)
from above, i see contour lines(?), for the bottom controller
and from the side: (please log in to view the image)
anyone?
and here is the woman locking down gate 3 for the neb to pass through (please log in to view the image)
*if there are 3 ships returning at virtually the same time (on the pic they are in roughly the same place) wouldnt we see them flying through the dock and landing when the neb does. unless the ships wait for each other to land...
or even an apu coming from other gate(s) (as it appears the neb is further back than the others)
Great Shots Burlyman!
So the Neb is in the lower righthand corner of the overhead shot.
The ship in the upper righthand corner matches the profile of the Mjolnir.
And it looks as though it is already parked. Looks like the dock floortiles bellow it.
So this operator is most likely overseeing the refueling, repairs, ect...
The arangments of the graphics in the contol room are not representative of the physical dock.
One person can have in front of them a view of the Outside of Gate 03.
While another can be looking at Landing pad 12.
Still others can be looking at long distance sewer moniters or elevator posistions.
I hadn't realized that before. Cool.
They probably DO control much of Zion. It’s the Zion Mainframe computer, the place Smith wanted to gain access to in M1.
