Subnautica (Planet 4546b)

Lifepod: Now floating in the Safe Shallows Biome, The Lifepod has two opening hatches: one on the ceiling, which can be reached from the inside by climbing a ladder, and another in the floor submerged. exiting through the top hatch gets the user the clear view of the Aurora, crashed just a few kilometers away from the lifepod. It has a Fabricator, which will be visited often until the user builds a Seabase, a small amount of storage with a few pieces of survival equipment and rations, a wall-mounted Medical Kit Fabricator generating First Aid Kits every 10 minutes and a wall-mounted radio receiving and broadcasting emergency messages and distress calls, which is broken at first and must be repaired by the Repair Tool. The Habitat Builder can not build anything in, or on the Lifepod.

Planet 4546B: itself is an ocean planet and is said to be smaller than Earth with a breathable oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. It also harbors two moons, one being very close to the planet, causing frequent solar eclipses. There are three known major ecosystems on the planet: the Crater, Sector Zero, and the Dead Zone, the latter of which covers the majority of the planet. The planet is almost completely covered in water, except for a few islands, and features a variety of submerged, ecologically distinct biomes.

Safe Shallows: with a depth range of 0 to 80 meters, is the first biome encountered by the player, the Lifepod floating on the water above it. it contains sprawling coral reefs and small, short cave systems, being one of the safest biomes in the planet. the caves are home to hostile Crashfish which charge swimming towards the player, exploding on contact. other passive fish include Peepers, Boomerangs, and bladderfish.

The Aurora: located on the far eastern edge of the map, with its bow facing north and its stern facing south. It is visible from the surface nearly anywhere on the map. The ship is approximately 1,280 meters long nose to thrusters, standing around 500 meters tall

Opening PDA first time: "You have suffered minor head trauma. This is considered an optimal outcome. This PDA has now rebooted in emergency mode with one directive: to keep you alive on an alien world. Please refer to the databank for detailed survival advice. Good luck."

User Lifepod (Lifepod 5) systems repaired "Lifepod secondary systems online. Running full environment diagnostic and outputting results to databank."

Exiting the Lifepod through either hatch (top hatch preferably with clear view of the Aurora): "The Aurora suffered orbital hull failure. Cause: unknown. Zero human life signs detected."

Extra Dialogue: Spend 1 hour (Three days) in-game: "Congratulations, survivor: you have exceeded your weekly exercise quotient by 500%. Data indicates that swimming was your favorite activity. Be sure to vary your routine for uniform muscle development."

Subnautica Aurora crash The Aurora attempts to perform a slingshot maneuver in the atmosphere of Planet 4546B with 157 people aboard to begin the construction of a new phase gate in the Ariadne Arm.[6] Secretly, the Aurora is also tasked with locating the crew of the Degasi,[7] although the crew did not expect to find anything.[8] The Quarantine Enforcement Platform detects the Aurora and fires at it, resulting in it crashing on 4546B, and the crew is forced to evacuate. 29 to 44 people manage to eject in Lifepods 1-25, but only ten manage to make it to the surface. It is possible that other life pods made it to the surface, however outside the Crater, but probably succumbed to the Ghost Leviathans that reside in the void. Only one Lifepod carried a dead passenger. Each Lifepod landed in different Biomes. One, in particular, is Lifepod 5, housing the Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief, Ryley Robinson. He is knocked unconscious for three hours by a loose panel during its descent. All the other surviving crew members perished during this period of unconsciousness. (Everything after this may be completed in another order while playing the game.)

The Aurora's drive core explodes. Sunbeam arrival After (arguably) one week, the Sunbeam picks up a distress call and comes to rescue Ryley. The Sunbeam sends the coordinates for the Mountain Island, where they will land. The Sunbeam is destroyed by the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, which Ryley explores, discovering Alien Tablets, the Control Room, and the approximate location of the Disease Research Facility. After exploring the Mountain Island, Ryley finds the Alien Arch within, and activates it, taking him to the Floating Island, where he also discovers the Degasi Seabases. Disease Research Facility Ryley goes to the Disease Research Facility, and discovers the nature of Kharaa and realizes that he is infected. Include "Storyline [2]"

After the incubation period for Kharaa is finished (two weeks, at this time), the coordinates for the Alien Thermal Plant are received. Lava Zone Ryley reaches the Alien Thermal Plant and attains the Blue Tablet, along with the Ion Battery and Ion Power Cell blueprints. Sea Emperor Leviathan Ryley reaches the Primary Containment Facility and encounters the now 2600-year-old Sea Emperor Leviathan. The Sea Emperor Leviathan telepathically communicates with Ryley and explains that its eggs must be hatched in order to eradicate Kharaa. Ryley hatches the eggs after gathering various flora from different biomes using the Arches, and the Sea Emperor Leviathan Babies release the stable form of Enzyme 42, otherwise known as Baby Leviathan Enzymes. Ryley interacts with the Enzymes and is thus cured. After playing with their parent, the Babies leave the aquarium through the Arch behind the Incubator. Their parent stays behind as it is far too large to travel through the Arch, eventually, it dies here, though Ryley never sees this. Ryley goes through the Aquarium Arch which is connected to an Arch on a suspended platform close to the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, he enters, and, now cured, is able to disable the weapon, allowing him to escape. Neptune Escape Rocket Ryley returns to the now-destroyed Aurora and obtains the Neptune Escape Rocket blueprint, where he eventually constructs it. After entering the rocket, he activates it, blasting off from Planet 4546B. While orbiting the planet, the Sea Emperor Leviathan communicates with Ryley one last time, just before he leaves the system, heading back to Earth. He is then met with a notice that in order to land, he has to pay a 1,000,000,000,000 credits fee that he has accumulated by using the planet's resources. After Ryley returns, Alterra Corporation learns of the value the planet holds.

Personality Ryley does not typically speak and appears to be taciturn; however, he displays kindness when playing with the Cuddlefish, able to play tricks with it and show it affection, as well as saying goodbye to it when the Neptune Escape Rocket is built. Ryley has also shown the ability to remain calm under pressure and in dangerous situations, evident by his lack of emotional response to all but a few sources in the game.

Pre-Crash Nothing is known about Ryley's life before the crash of the Aurora; however, he was a member of the Alterra Corporation, as Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief, and was on board the Aurora prior to the crash.

Post-Crash Ryley is seen in a hurry, boarding and launching Lifepod 5 during Aurora's descent. After being knocked out by a loose panel, Ryley then proceeds to wake up hours later, (at which point the occupants of the other lifepods are already dead,) and put out a fire inside the lifepod using a Fire Extinguisher. Afterward, he activates his PDA, and the user is able to take full control of him. Upon exiting the lifepod, Ryley unknowingly becomes infected with the Kharaa bacterium.

Escape After curing his Kharaa infection, receiving blueprints for and subsequently building an escape rocket from Alterra, and shutting down the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, Ryley finally manages to escape the planet. At this point it can be assumed that Ryley is the crash's sole survivor.

Upon returning to Alterra, he is informed that he will not be allowed to land until he settles his outstanding debt of 1 trillion credits. Accrued as, by Alterra law, all materials he used during his survival and escape were property of Alterra, and he is liable to pay the full market price when returning.

Ryley's status after the events of Subnautica and during the events of Subnautica: Below Zero remain unknown.

Codename: Standard 2-Berth Emergency Lifepod 5. Story During the intro sequence the player, Ryley Robinson, climbs inside the Lifepod to escape the impending crash of the Aurora following the automated evacuation warning, apparently being the only one to reach Lifepod 5. After launching, he witnesses an explosion from the ship through the top hatch window, causing a shockwave to strike the Lifepod. A panel flies off the opposite wall (along with the Fire Extinguisher), exposing wires and knocked about in freefall until slamming into the player's face, knocking him out. The player wakes up three hours later to warning alarms and quickly notices that the Lifepod is on fire, and puts it out with the Fire Extinguisher, fortunately now laying nearby on the floor. The Lifepod then becomes the player's starting location.

Interior The Lifepod has two opening hatches: one on the ceiling, which can be reached from the inside by climbing a ladder, and another in the floor and submerged. The internals of the vessel suffered damage during the crash and are smoldering from the fire damage. The Lifepod Secondary Systems and the radio can be repaired using the Repair Tool, turning on the secondary lights in the pod and enabling messages to be received respectively.

The Lifepod houses a Fabricator, which will be visited often until the player builds a Seabase, fitted with another fabricator, a small amount of storage with a few pieces of survival equipment and rations, a Fire Extinguisher which is used to put out the fire in the beginning of the game, a wall-mounted Medical Kit Fabricator generating First Aid Kits every 10 minutes and a wall-mounted radio receiving and broadcasting emergency messages and distress calls. The Habitat Builder can not build anything in, or on, the lifepod: a separate seabase needs to be constructed for expansion.

Include "Lifepod 5 [2]"

Energy Usage Energy is provided to the Lifepod by three Solar Power Cells on the bulkhead, with a capacity of 25 Energy each (the combined capacity of one Solar Panel). These Power Cells cannot be removed. The Fabricator will drain energy from the Power Cells when used (except in Creative Mode), and they will recharge themselves over time. There is no obvious solar panel on the lifepod's hull, although it is most likely to be the large black square underneath the pod's stenciling. The three Power Cells add up to 75 Energy, 25 less than a battery.

Location Lifepod 5 spawns in a random location in the Safe Shallows biome less than a kilometer from the center of the map (coordinates 0,0,0). The lifepod can spawn quite close to the radiation zone, and in some rare cases, a large creature can nudge it into the radiation area.

Kharaa was brought to 4546B by the Architects in an attempt to find a vaccine, as they had established outposts within The Crater. It is stated in Architect data that the Kharaa bacterium has killed over 143 billion individuals over the course of time since its discovery, but the data is likely to be around 1000 years old. It is possible this is not the true death count as the PDA entry only lists these as "Confirmed Deaths" which could imply further dead beyond what was known. Their core worlds were quarantined off, and research facilities such as the one on 4546B were created to find a cure. After a Sea Dragon Leviathan damaged the Disease Research Facility in an attempt to retrieve its offspring, the previously contained Kharaa bacterium was released onto the planet. This decimated the planet's ecosystems, as much of the life on the planet died due to the bacterium's immuno-repressive behavior and genetic corruption. This prompted the Architects to initiate their emergency quarantine: activating the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. The Quarantine Enforcement Platform shoots down all approaching or departing spacecraft to prevent Kharaa being spread to other planets.

The PDA estimates that Kharaa incubates in two weeks and quickly kills its host after it reaches a substantial infection level. It accomplishes this by shutting down the immune system (already making the infected host susceptible to other diseases) and causing genetic mutation to the host's DNA, which causes alterations to the body structure, eventually leading to a total shutdown of the organism due to its inability to keep functioning properly. According to Architect data, the bacterium is capable of entering the body through the skin, and causes an increase in aggression in its host.

Warpers were created to keep the levels of Kharaa to a minimum. They will attempt to kill infected fauna to control the spread of the bacterium. This seems to be ineffective as Kharaa still ravages the planet.

The Alterra Corporation also known as Alterra Corp. , Alterra TransGov[1] or simply Alterra is a Trans-Gov that funded the Aurora's mission to construct a phasegate in the Ariadne Arm and owns 9% of phasegates within the galaxy.[2] It also appears to be the manufacturer of many machines and tools in-game, as its logo is on many of them.

Despite being legally recognized as a Trans-Gov, Alterra considers itself a corporation. Its corporate structure is made up of an elected board of directors that appoints the overall CEO, appoints the CEOs of major subsidiaries, and makes major economic decisions. Alterra Corporation is made up of millions of smaller companies that are partially or fully owned by Alterra. The corporation makes money off these companies and in return provides expensive services such as starship production. More successful companies' CEOs have a shot at the board of directors. Employees for Alterra are entitled to a one-time share in the Alterra Corporation to afford payments of the Alterra dividend. An exception to these rules are contractors, who are paid by Alterra but are not strictly employees.

Alterra is heavily involved in the arms trade and made substantial amounts of money supplying weaponry to all warring factions during the period known as the Expansion. Their threats to cut off these supplies are said to have been a turning point in the conflict. Today, they are the top supplier to the Trans-System Federation. Alterra does not maintain a standing military, though they do have a police force. Civilian ownership of weapons within Alterra space is strictly controlled, with only the police able to bear arms.

Alterra is rather strict with policies related to resources, even keeping employees "on the clock" after catastrophic accidents. All resources gathered by such employees are company property and Alterra expects to be reimbursed for their full market value after the fact: in the case of Ryley Robinson, this led to a trillion-credit bill.

Trans-Gov Profile: Alterra Corp. "One of largest suppliers of spacefaring technologies and consumer electronics in the federation

The official supplier of the TSF Consistently ranked amongst the Galaxy's best employers Began life as a defense manufacturer in the mid-22nd century National Motto: 'Get what you deserve' Although most trans-govs can trace their roots back to earth, Alterra - literally meaning 'by earth' - is the only one brazen enough to take its name.

During the Expansion, Alterra supplied arms to all sides, acquiring and housing a vast colonist workforce, and making the transition from manufacturer to coprorate state. Alterra's threat to cease trade was one of the turning points in the conflict, bringing about the end of hostilities and the signing of the Charter.

Today Alterra has a ban on all weapons within its borders, although loopholes exist for law enforcement officers and manufacturers / exporters. The corporation has learnt that violence is most profitable when conducted between customers rather than employees.

Free enterprise within Alterra space is encouraged, but competition is tight, and all goods exported offworld must be Alterra branded. Profitable businesses are bought out by the state, owners ascending to the Alterra Board of Directors. Well-known Alterra technologies such as the Cyclops submersible originated with such private enterprises.

Despite superficial similarities to national governments, the corporation's lawyers have always maintained that it has no legal obligation to its 'employees', but voluntarily elects to take on the roles usually served by a democratically elected government. This claim has not yet been tested in Federation courts."

Source: Pick up Abandoned PDA in the Aurora

The Aurora was a brand-new Alterra Long-Range Capital Ship (and possibly the first of its class) sent to the Ariadne Arm by the Alterra Corporation to build a phasegate. Its auxiliary mission, unknown to most of the crew, was an agreement made with the Mongolian Independent States to search for and possibly rescue the survivors of the Degasi crew. It was thought that the ship's advanced scanning suite, superior to any ship that had previously made a search effort, would have better luck in finding the crew, or finally confirm whatever fate had befallen them.

During a gravity slingshot maneuver around Planet 4546B, the Quarantine Enforcement Platform struck the Aurora with an energy pulse on the starboard (right) side, resulting in catastrophic hull failure and leading to it crash landing on the surface of the planet. All the starboard Lifepods were damaged, if not outright destroyed by the energy pulse; most of the port side Lifepods that did launch (pods 1 to 25), after landing, were either compromised or otherwise perished to the hostile ecosystem. The only exception is Lifepod 5, which contained Ryley Robinson. Moments after Lifepod 5 launched, Ryley heard the enforcement platform fire and witnessed a second energy pulse strike the already crippled ship.

Upon crashing, the Aurora plowed into the terrain, unearthing it and leaving small sand hills around the ship. The crash and subsequent explosion resulted in huge quantities of Metal Salvage and Supply Crates being dispersed within the vicinity of the ship, providing useful materials such as Food & Water, batteries, and Titanium. Nine Reaper Leviathans patrol the crash site.

By the time the player awakens and begins his exploration of the area, all of the other Lifepods have been destroyed and their occupants have vanished. The Aurora's Drive Core explodes a few days later, blowing a massive hole in the bow of the ship and consequently inundating the crash site with Radiation. Include "The Aurora [2]"

Entering without a Radiation Suit is impossible until the Drive Room is repaired; furthermore, multiple tools are needed to thoroughly explore the ship's many sections. The Aurora's interior is inaccessible until post-detonation.

The Aurora is located on the far eastern edge of the map, with its bow facing north and its stern facing south. It is visible from the surface nearly anywhere on the map, making it a useful landmark, especially if the player lacks a compass. The ship is approximately 1,280 meters long from nose to thrusters. Including parts normally hidden by the terrain, it stands to be about 500 meters tall.

Of all crew members on board the Aurora, the only survivor was Ryley Robinson, who later managed to escape the planet. Alterra later admitted the ship's loss and informed about the rescue of its "survivors", but censored any details about how the ship had crashed and why.

Crew Manifest The Crew of the Aurora is made up 157 in total:

23 Members in the Command Team 85 Members in the Engineering Team 40 Members in the Support Crew 9 Passengers Notable Crew Captain: Hollister[2] Second Officer: Keen[3] Medical Officer: Danby[4] Chief Technology Officer: Yu[5][6] Engineer: Berkeley[5] Technitian: Hinkle[7] Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief: Ryley Robinson[2] Prawn Bay Crew: Huggins[8], Wilson[8][9] Elheim[9] Ozzy (Cafeteria Owner)[10] Contractor: Jo[11] Important Passengers: Passenger 07 'Emissary Jochi Khasar' Machinery: Engineering Drone Engineering Drone "Albert"[12] Camera Drones Fabrication Drones[13] Loaded Vehicles: Seamoth PRAWN Suit Mk.III Cyclops Seaglide Forklifts

Primary Mission Alterra Launches the Aurora PHASEGATE ANNOUNCED FOR THE ARIADNE ARM: ALTERRA LAUNCHES THE AURORA

The furthest reaches of inhabited space are due to expand, as Alterra Corp launches a newly-constructed capital ship, carrying a phasegate bound for the Ariadne Arm.

The Aurora will travel from spacedock on the edge of Alterra space, making hundreds of consecutive phasegate jumps through nine different trans-gov authorities, and arrive on the far side of the Ariadne Arm in three months' time. From there the command crew will pilot the ship beyond the final phasegate, arriving in the next solar system approximately 18 months later.

There the elite team of engineers will begin a 6 month construction project on the new phasegate, a multi-trillion credit investment. In the absence of existing infrastructure in the region, the vessel is equipped with advanced thermal and nuclear power facilities.

Alterra Corp. currently operates 9% of all phasegates in the galaxy. If the Aurora's mission is successful Alterra will have outmaneuvered a cabal of Mongolian corporations, operating a range of outposts and mines in the region.

Source: Pick up Abandoned PDA in the Aurora. Auxiliary Mission Aurora Auxiliary Mission Orders

• Mission: Search & Rescue
• Target: Crew of the Mongolian vessel 'Degasi'
• Last known position: Vicinity of planet 4546B, Ariadne Arm
• Contact: Mongolian Emissary Jochi Khasar, Aurora Passenger Quarters

Mission brief: A Mongolian vessel, the 'Degasi', disappeared almost a decade ago, carrying with it a high ranking Mongolian chief. Corporate insurance has purchased passage aboard the Aurora for Emissary Khasar, and your orders are to make every reasonable effort to locate and retrieve the Degasi crewmembers, without compromising the primary mission. Confirming the fate of the crew will aid Alterra's diplomatic efforts with the Mongolian councils.

Mission Details:

• Aurora is due to perform a slingshot maneuver around 4546B

Exploration The PDA updates the player on the condition of the Aurora's drive core degradation throughout the course of several in-game days, up until its eventual explosion.

The explosion is focused towards the front section of the ship. The player can be killed by the explosion if it is in the crash zone biome when the event occurs. Only after the explosion is the player able to venture inside the Aurora, but if they are not equipped with a radiation suit they will suffer damage over time. All three parts of the suit must be equipped to completely negate the radiation damage. Upon entering the Aurora, the player is forewarned by the PDA that nearby creatures contain traces of human tissue in their digestive tracts, indicating that some or all of the bodies have been devoured by Bleeders and Cave Crawlers. Also, fire and falling debris can injure the player, and the ship periodically shakes, causing disorientation. Reaper Leviathans that spawn around the Aurora, Cave Crawlers that swarm the ship's entry, and Bleeders in the flooded areas all present additional threats.

For avoiding the Reapers, there is usually one patrolling between the basin west of the Aurora, and the deep chasm beneath its bow. A Seamoth can safely sneak past by approaching from the Safe Shallows nearest to the Aurora and hugging the ship's side, until reaching a gap large enough for the Seamoth to squeeze through. It is recommended to disembark in shallow water so that the ramp beneath you will protect you from a Reaper attack, though the Reaper doesn't normally swim that close to the entrance.

The following equipment is recommended and/or required for exploring the Aurora:

Radiation Suit is required to approach the Aurora after the drive core explodes without taking damage from radiation. Stasis Rifle, recommended for self-defense against Cave Crawlers, Bleeders, and possibly Reaper Leviathans. Repair Tool is required for repairing the Drive Room and mending broken doors
