This weekend saw the release of several new Star Trek into Darkness pictures, including a movie poster. The URL for the poster was hidden as an Easter egg in the most recent movie trailer, while the new photo comes from the Star Trek into Darkness app. The poster features Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, [...] More...
Well, considering we've seen all of 2 photon torpedo designs...this and the other one, I agree. This is the more intricate of the two.
On a more serious note, I think it's a safe bet to say that that is probably not your garden variety torpedo judging by the fact that its loading is being supervised by a weapon specialist scientist, the Captain, the Chief Engineer (him you'd expect), the Chief Medical Officer with a PADD (perhaps suggesting some biohazard component that he needs to monitor, or that he's just hanging out with Kirk and has a PADD), and an armed guard. That suggests that it's something special, perhaps like a Genesis Device precursor (to terraform a new homeworld for the Vulcans?) or some other WMD or device.
And Harrison is somehow in danger of acquiring this device, for whatever end. Good for him, bad for Earth?
Maybe the Captain (I suddenly wanted to call him Chris, instead of by his character name lol) was doing an inspection or something, I dunno, and maybe the doctor is there because he was with Kirk at the time discussing something. I'm just guessing, I guess we won't know until we see the film. But from what I can see it does look pretty haha, .
Or there's a Klingon envoy in it..... OR..it's a coffin...the number 2 use of all Trek photon Torpedoes (Number 3 is test patient for practice operations )
