ejects from life pod to live lands on ice instantly dies Roll credits.

Water: i ruin all hair styles, i make the body shiver from the sudden pressure change and can make you drown in me Rielly's hair gell: no, i dont think that works like that

Imagine AL-AN being the entity who trapped the Emperor in the first place. I can only imagine the smalltalk they've would have together.

I wonder if marguerite heard or saw the Aurora flying overhead over and seeing it get hit by the qep?

Actually, I'm pretty sure the lifepod databank says it's equipped with jet boosters, slowing it's descent and allowing it to safely land on hard surfaces.

Life pod: lands on ice Ice Worm: what a lovely meal, crunchy outside, soft in the inside.

Would Al-An have downloaded himself into an infected body though? The whole reason he put himself in storage was his old body was fatally infected and storing himself was the only path to long term survival. Maybe given the choice of quick death by power failure or slightly less quick death by Kharaa he’d pick the latter, but then his primary focus would probably be recharging the energy cells keeping the sanctuary running and going back into storage. If the Sea Emperor contacted Riley with Al-An in his brain they would probably be able to talk directly using Riley’s consciousness as a bridge but then there’s the question of whether the Sea Emperor would even contact you considering she refused to help the precursors.

This small change could effect so much that it's insane, theories like this are always interesting to talk about

imagine having a cuddlefish and a trivale at the same time

Fun little thing too, with no aurora in the crater, the hole from the surface to the lava zone would still be open, making things simpler

This does lead to all sorts of interesting possiblities Butterfly effect style: The distance from the gun may have given Captain Hollister more time to maneuver the ship so he and officers Keen and Yu might've lasted muich longer. They could've rescued Ozzy from the cafeteria. Jochi Khasar might not've become a pancake, Berkley might've been saved by Albert the drone and Danby could've lived long enough to regret cheating his way through medical school.

The biggest plot hole in Below Zero (one of many) is that Maida and Al-An are squeezed into the same relatively small part of Sector Zero for over a decade before Alterra, Ryley or Robin arrive, yet the two seem blissfully unaware of each other’s presence.

This is probably the best aurora theory I’ve ever seen great job

Just imagine how different the story would be, the protagonist of Subnautica would might've met Robin Ayou

The creators should definitely ask you to join them for the further Subnautica development, Bacon! Loved this video... especially the editing, slicker than Riley´s hair :D

"what if the aurora crashed in sector 0?" *death*

Im a scaredy cat player and I say that, 2 games in one price like this would be like insanely cool

Always love how you try to communicate with your community as much as you can through comments, much respect for that! And the video was also a masterpiece as usual! ^w^

This should be made into a fan made game by the community where the stuff you talk about in this video actually happens.

When I saw the title I was like wait a minute then wouldn’t robin land in the original area

Ever since Margaret was shown in below zero I wondered how she survived the khraa so it feels good that it’s been acknowledged for once

Frankly, I think Riley would just have to settle in as Marg's annoying neighbor. +Al-An: Would he voluntarily put himself in an infected body, or risk building a new one only to get infected immediately by the person helping him? Probably not. So Al-An is out, for assistance. +Marg: I doubt she knew which way she was drifting on the reaper, or how far she traveled, so she wouldn't be able to even give any useful information to get to the crater. Further, she didn't know what was down deeper, because their habitat at 500m is where she was separated from the other two. They never got to the deeper facilities. +Emperor: I don't imagine she spent all of her time telepathically scanning the world, or she might have contacted any of the Degasi members, to get them to come to her. This seemingly did not happen. I bet she only scanned out and found Riley, because of the double shakes of the Aurora crash and explosion, telling her something was different. On the other hand, more of the lifepod survivors may have actually survived. Given how many taken out by crater-specific predators. I doubt warpers were everywhere, because I doubt the facility could manage to make enough of them to patrol a whole planet, and they don't appear in all biomes, even though Kharaa-infected animals do. And at least three survivors were probably specifically killed by reapers.

I don’t know if marguerite would leave, I mean, she seems somewhat comfortable on 4546b, but would she want to go back to a place probably mostly run by alterra, when on 4546b she could generally stay away from alterra(or so it seems)

This is one of my favorite theories I’ve ever seen! It brings up so many new story possibilities! Congratulations!

Honestly it's worth making a video about how Maida survived for almost a decade without a cure... big plot hole there

A cinimatic shot of the sun beams getting randomly shot by a beam of green energy out of no where would be so cool

I think that the kharaa bacterium was either not present or it got neutralized quickly in below Zero. I said this because as you said Maida was in the planet before riley and never got infected. Also, as we can see in the main game, the way the sea emperor was delivering her enzime was through peepers, however, those are normal peepers, in below zero we can see artic peepers (which is not the same) indicating that those peepers were a mutation to survive the cold, we never see a normal peeper in BZ, so i could assume that they cannot reach sector zero (probably they get killed in the void by the ghost leviathan) so there is no way for the enzime to reach sector zero before riley, so if the kharaa was present in sector zero, it would have killed pretty much all life in it. But what got me the most attention was the story of Sam and the frozen leviathan. She manage to create an antidote (that we can see works in neutralizing the bacteria) but once robin gets the recipe you can see it does not include the enzime on it, just some plants from the area, which makes me believe that the kharaa can be cured without the enzime, and the plants cannot be with the enzime because of what i mentioned about the peepers.

Do you remember when Subnautica first had it's ending added, and it then crashed on a different planet

I like these little speculation theories keep up the good work man!

As far as I know this could've been the best situation for the auroras crew, A lot of sector zero is Above water level, Compared to the crater or void, So that means more survivors would be alive. Plus margareit is in sector zero, So that's Khasars Goal completed. There's still the QEP to deal with, and that's in the crater. And I think that's where AL-AN comes in.

I think the sea emperor could telepathically speak to humans since this world is similar to ours. The precursors couldn't hear her because they weren't biologically compatible to pick up her messages, she hints a few times that the two couldnt communicate properly. As far as distance, no she probably wouldn't have been able to reach you from that far away however, seeing as how you have to get closer to her near the original crash zone to start picking up her messages.

I was actually thinking what would happen, and this video has most of my thoughts. Thanks!

I can only imagine that Riley would join Adam at the end to taxdodge after he hears the PDA when he first picks up a Diamond.

This would make a fun Subnautica game.

As a subnautica player myself, I must say, this is quite Pog

Bro you are one of the best subnautica youtubers by far, I have been watching you since (almost) day one and I watched almost every single one of your videos. You deserve the best :)

The question is whether the Sea emperor wouldve wanted to help Ryley when hes accompanied by... "One of them", and not only one of them but the boss mang himself, the precursor who could be argued holds the very last say when it comes to if they should imprison the Sea emperor or not.

This is actually a really interesting theory! Nice video :)

Love the vids keep up the amazing work

This is a very pog video, also love how you reply to comments even after a long time.

Riley would want to avoid the debt so he would hop on the ship with Alad after they cure the kahraa. Then the other precursors(if alive) would probably ask him how he did it when they couldn't

"This video contains spoilers and some insane hair gel" Ryley Robinson: *pulls out massive 34-liter vat of hair gel* "it's not that much hair gel man" *starts inhaling hair gel*

Love your videos! You earned a sub!

Didn't even know you uploaded. Thanks for not giving me a notification KZfaq! Glad to see and upload though

I would like to re visit the crater on a later Subnautica game. It would be cool to see how everything is, the aurora, the islands, heck maybe even My bases lol

Well probably there would be atleast one more survivor from aurora because one other life pod(dont remember its number) had working floaters but he got eaten by reaper but in sector 0 unless he get dropped in area with chelicerate I think he would be able to survive as well

In this version it may not just be marg alive but the other survivors could be alive as it’s less dangerous in sector 0 only thing to worry about I think would be most breaking down to the bottom sea floor of all the areas or just regular survival issues

Great video dude 🙏

Tye Sunbeam would still be destroyed as the gu n has a planet-wide range so when it tries to land it gets shot

But why would the sea emperor give the hatching enzymes to Al-an, she doesn’t like the precursors so if she new al-an was inside Riley then they wouldn’t be able to get the ingredients

ryley would find marguerite and go take apart the ship for parts lol. also a lot of the fish would die from the explosion as the map is way smaller. would be a super cool sight to see the aurora crashed on some glaciers tho

I‘m imagining AL-AN looking through the data on the escape rocket, seeing Rylies debt and being like “you might want to go with me instead”

I still want them to make a game set in the same universe with Al-an and Marg joining forces against someone.... and make it Warriors style XD (man someone needs to make that)

The sheer velocity of the pod would make the water as hard as concrete making no difference if it landed on land

If you haven't done already please do a theory on why the crater has such a diverse ecosystem considering its so close together

Sunbeam gets an SOS and after a few days detects a massive Debris field indicating the Auroras crash. That's what prompts Sunbeam to go on a rescue mission. The Sunbeam will descend on the planet and get shot regardless of if the player is there or not. So no matter where Riley is, Sunbeam is going to have a delightful chat with the Quarantine Cannon.

Imagine how the raliotionship would look like between Ryely and Alan🤔😕.

I haven't played either game for a few months, how did Marguerite survive the kharaa? Also keep up the good work bacon!

Great video, well done😊

I love the videos 10 out of 10 always make me happy I have got a suggestion, what would happen if the frozen leviathan was free like ecosystem wise?

Imagine if there was a virus called Kharaa in real life. Then I have to get a lot of souls and good video :) Edit: What if it actually happened on the other planet and maybe there might a Sea emperor or many deep creatures :) I didn't watched or played subnautica below zero but I dont have time

I think the simple explanation for Marguerit not getting infected is cause she used her prawn suit everytime she stepped outside her base.

Nice Theory my good sir

thank you for the review

The ice worm will go extinct with the radiation

What still bothers me is that the precursors were smart enough to create a giant laser-rifle and a teleportation system but never set up some kind of satellite dish to send out warning signals into space so ships wouldn't come near the planet.

The amount of hair gel in this vid is so great that it made me stood up

Seriously, BEST Subnautica theory ever (imp)!

If it crashed in Sector 0, there would be a 21% chance that another Aurora crew member survives. Source: My Computer

I suppose the main limiting factor would be whether or not you could find the tech to get deep enough to get to Allan. I don't see Marguerit willingly just giving you what she may have out of the goodness of her heart. In the first game the tech you used to advance yourself was not just from the Aurora but from the Degasi crash as well which outside of Marguerit's trash it wouldn't be present in sector Zero. This should also be prior to the research facilities we find in Below Zero unless I'm mistaking the time line. The thing I don't like about Subnautica is the tech advancement would make more sense it you had to find different elements that the PDA would then use to research tech that would be optimal for the environment. For instance you might need to find aerogel before you get the air bladder. Feed more into the system for research and you would eventually unlock the thermal reactor and so on. It would make it far more fun to base build if I needed to build particular parts and farms to research new tech to get deeper.

another very underrated channel

This theory was so cool!

Just got the noto and i got really excited

I like the intro you made for Riley being ejected from the aroura

You have over 100k subs but still reply to most comments, respect :D

Now that i think about it, what changed in the crater when below zero was happening. The vehicles and bases left behind, the aurora, and maybe changes to the environment from enzyme 42. Maybe alterra revisited the crater to check out the QEP, aurora, and the alien bases.

now THIS is a good concept

I love your content bacon!!!

That a great idea love it 👍

Unknown Worlds should maybe make a DLC where Riley and Robin meet each other and it could be good material for a 2 player co op Subnautica

Coffee would be a essential material! Great video

Oh man oh man I need Wacky Squad Hijinks with Ryley, Marg, and Al-An. It'd be so GOOD. But yeah, with ready access to Precursor tech, it'd be no problem reaching the PCF, and I'm sure Ryley could convince the Emperor to help each other! The big question would be what comes next - I could see Marguerit getting some closure from Bart's last PDA, then maybe she and Ryley both going with Al-An? Alterra would eventually arrive, looking for the Aurora, so the BZ plot could still take place, just with Marg and Al-An's absences...

This should be the actual plot for Subnautica 3

I know you may never see this but I love your videos keep up the good work

if the aurora landed on ice, it could've disturbed the lifeforms in it as well as revealing other locations. presumably a precursor portal to the crator would be added there probably free the frozen leviathan as well...

What happened if Sam landed in 4546B and Robin went to look for her.

It’s actually not hair gel it’s the salt in the ocean water, cool little detail from the developers. (I don’t know if it was even intentional lmao I’m just guessing )

This is actually really well thought out, nice job :)

Seeing as how without the unstable enzyme 42 people appear to sucumb to Kharaa really quick (just listen to the doctor) I believe that Riley may live for about an hour tops.

man the two games combined would make an epic fan film :)

Maybe you'd first encounter Marguerit in the aurora? And maybe you could collect the Degasi PDAs from the crater and give them to Marguerit.

The party but it's looks I mean the fact that you talk about that with Marguerite maita meeting him that is just hilarious😂😂😂

In any case at least Ryley wouldn't have to pay 1 trillion credits (he will go to al-an planet)

I really like the idea of if Sunbeam was still landing, you wouldn't be able to see the QEP aiming to shoot, so the sunbeam's crash would be a lot more of a shock, basically coming out of nowhere.

unless pods hit land/ice (and maybe despite that), more pods would surely survive since BZ fauna isnt as dangerous as reapers, or it at least seems like that, and there is hardly chance for pods to sink as deep as in original, I would also guess there are also no warpers who seem to be responsible for elimination of some people from original, but they might went offline after cure was released and just none be around at that time, anyway, with possibly more surviving people, there is chance they would be able to build cyclops or other transportation vehicle, track gun which took them of sky and try cross void to reach it, I would guess it would be possible if Marguarret managed it with natural flow on piece of meat without being eaten, also it is possible that some people would express some level of ressistance to bacteria as her or.. technicaly protagonist from original game, and if at least one person made it to area of original game, it would play almost same as it did there

The Last Bacon is echt mijn favoriete kanaal!

3:23 or perfect lovers loved the vid btw

I feel like Riley would have survived regardless, but possibly others could have lived as well, who knows if the crew would live on the planet, and maybe even start a Transgov.

Kahra is fatal in two weeks: My in game PDA showing day 185 when I finally cure myself. Weeks sure are long on 4546B.

If the aurora crashed in sector 0? I would have a FEAST
