— Emma Russell (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) |
The Orca, sometimes stylized ORCA, is a fictional device created by Dr. Emma Russell which appeared in the 2019 Legendary Godzilla film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
Name
The Orca is named after Sam Quint's ship the Orca from the 1975 film, Jaws.[1] It is itself named after the marine creatures of the same name, also commonly called killer whales, who use vocalizations of varying frequencies to echolocate. While the Orca's name is commonly referred to using regular casing, including by the film's director Michael Dougherty,[2] the novelization Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization spells it fully capitalized, as ORCA.
History

Capabilities
Alpha Frequency
The Orca's primary function was to emit a signal that all of the known Titans would respond to, allowing the user to pacify or manipulate them as they saw fit. When connected to a larger speaker system, such as those in Boston's Fenway Park, the signal could be broadcast on a global scale. The signals could be selected and adjusted via a touch-screen control panel in the center of the device. The baseline alpha frequency was composed of the vocalizations from both Godzilla and a human.

To be added.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization
The role of the Orca in the novel is mostly the same as its role in the film proper. During the flight from Antarctica to Isla Del Mara, Mark Russell tells Sam Coleman of his and Emma's earliest attempts to use the prototype to herd a pod of five whales, which resulted in disaster when they were inadvertently driven to beach themselves, killing three of them.
