AL-AN Teleport From Behind

Closer look at AL-AN preparing to activate the teleporter in the Phase Gate Facility

Body transfer scene from the old story.

Most of the animations are the same, but AL-AN does display some unique color changes and animations that aren’t seen in the final story.

He also lacks the voice filter once he has his own vessel.

Yes! I assume for shock absorption considering how dense Architect vessels are. Perhaps utilized when they do their blink ability?

Here is the same animation from a different angle

Here’s a very adorable animation that AL-AN has in the early-access original story!

I do prefer the final story, but this is so cute. I think they should’ve kept this animation in the final release. It gives him more personality.

I once again would like to acknowledge the humorous nature of AL-AN floating whenever he blinks since it isn’t intended to be closely looked at

I bet it felt really nice to stretch after not having a body for 1000 years

I love when AL-AN mixes two different colors together with the biolights

An unused aside dialogue between AL-AN and Robin. A conversation about gems and names.

Transcript below the cut

Robin: “Looks like this was an Alterra mining site. Gemstones everywhere.”

AL-AN: “Why do humans designate only some minerals as gems?”

R: “Because they're not just functional, we also find them beautiful—decorative.”

A: “Is that why Ruby is a human name according to the database in your PDA?”

R: “I think so.”

A: “Astatine is technically the rarest known element. Do humans name their children Astatine? I did not see it listed.”

R: “…No, I’ve never met a human named Astatine.”

So glowy…
