The beacon was eventually deactivated by Henry Marlow, the captain of Anesidora. Ironically, the warning beacon led both the Nostromo and Anesidora crews to the ship, instead of warning them off. However, the fact it was in an alien language meant this meaning typically went undiscovered by the human crews who heard it. This transmission was powerful enough to be detected some distance from LV-426, and was in fact a cautionary message designed to warn potential explorers away from the ship's dangerous cargo. One of the derelict's more notable features aboard the vessel was a device that transmitted a powerful acoustical beacon. The device transmitting the beacon aboard the derelict. " Well, it looks a warning." ― Ripley and Ash, discussing the beacon's signal (from Alien) However, later studies found the ship contained numerous very large internal compartments and numerous cargo bays. During their exploration, the Nostromo crew surveyed only one small part of the vessel, including the cockpit, as well as a cavernous cargo hold beneath. Indeed, Kane additionally suggested that the ship may have been a biological construct, "grown" rather than built by the race that created it. The interior of the derelict resembles more a living organism than a spacegoing vessel, with walls and vaulted ceilings seemingly made of bone, and many organic shapes and structures in its passageways. The exact nature of the openings is unclear, although Kane theorized that they were airlocks, possibly left open following some kind of emergency evacuation from the ship. On one side, near ground level, the ship has three large openings it is through one of these openings that Nostromo crew members Arthur Dallas, Joan Lambert and Thomas Kane entered the ship as part of their investigation. The prongs appear to bend upwards, although this could be due to the positioning of the wreck on the moon's surface. The craft is 116.6 meters wide and 61.0 meters wide between the starboard and port prongs, according to official historical records. The port prong measures 161.6 meters in length and the starboard prong 174.3 meters. The derelict is a large, asymmetrical, wishbone-shaped craft, with a thickened central section between two prong-like structures.
