That's the explanation. It's not happening."
	Return to Drop Pod 	
"VOICE: We understand this arrangement is undesirable to you.
ROBIN: You're not real. Go away.
VOICE: To go, we require a suitable body for transfer.
ROBIN: Why do you keep saying "we"? How many of you are there?
VOICE: One of us and all of us. We do not think of ourselves as individual, distinct.
ROBIN: Why don't you start by telling me who you are?
VOICE: You may append your seed code to my species designation. Please call me AL-AN.
ROBIN: My whole life, I've been dying to meet a sapient, spacefaring alien up close, and you're telling me your name is ALAN?
AL-AN: Is it insufficient?
ROBIN: No, it's fine. It's perfect. Where are you from, Alan?
AL-AN: Your kind calls us "Architects".
ROBIN: The precursor race!? But what are you doing here?
AL-AN: That... is a long story.
Perhaps you will prefer to focus on the contruction of a new storage medium to which I may transfer?
ROBIN: Yes, fine. Absolutely. How do we get you out of here?
AL-AN: I have added the information to your databank. You will need to find the necessary components.
ROBIN: Any idea where I can find them?
AL-AN: It is unclear. I have been disconnected from my network for so long, I cannot locate the coordinates.
ROBIN: (frustated reaction)"

"AL-AN: In the future, I hope you will avoid contact with the woman in the exosuit.
I am among the last of a dying civilization. If you were to compromise your wellbeing, a species could go extinct.
ROBIN: What makes you think she's hostile anyway? A little grumpy, maybe, but who wouldn't be, stranded out here alone?
AL-AN: She did not respond to my distress call. And she is well-armed.
ROBIN: Maybe she's afraid of us.
AL-AN: I have no desire to find out."

"AL-AN: You do not trust Alterra.
ROBIN: No. Neither do you.
AL-AN: But your sister was Alterran.
ROBIN: My sister was my sister. She worked for Alterra.
AL-AN: My people do not perceive a difference. We are what we work for. 
ROBIN: Well, Sam wasn't.
 I should've guessed Alterra would find a way to clip Sam's wings, like I knew they'd do to mine. I tried to warn her. And she was stubborn... just like me.
Ever since I was a kid I always wanted to be so different from her-- scrappler. Faster. Way less play-by-the-rules.
AL-AN: Was Sam working in the best interest of Alterra?
ROBIN: Yes, but they definitely didn't think so.
AL-AN: We believe that individuals may operate in the best interest of the collective, or against the best interest of the collective. There is no inbetween, to us.
ROBIN: So you always saw eye-to-eye on absolutely everything with your network?
AL-AN: No.
ROBIN: I sense there's more to this story.
AL-AN: And more to your sister's story as well.
ROBIN: That's fine. Change the subject. We'll come back to it later."

ROBIN: I'm not with Alterra."
	Enter Marguerit's Base 	
"MARGUERIT: I told you to stay off my land.
ROBIN: You trained that thing?
MARGUERIT: Next time, I'll let him tear you to ribbons, Alterra.
ROBIN: I'm not with Alterra. I'm Robin Ayou. I'm looking for information about my sister, Sam. I think you might have crossed paths?
MARGUERIT: Bullcrap. I suggest you take the time you need to come to your senses, and then get off my seabase.
If you're not Alterra, why don't disable that damn tracking satellite tower, instead of hacking into my seabase? Maybe once Alterra's off my back, I'll remember something about your sister.
There's some junk on that table that might help. I couldn't get it to work."

ROBIN: Sam's not the only one in the family who knows-- knew-- what to do with vague directions and old wire.
MARGUERIT: She was an original, that sister of yours. First time I met her I was sure she was Alterra through and through-- not a crease in her uniform... sending those damn bird bots to spy everywhere.
Then, she surprised me-- maybe a little too much.
ROBIN: Meaning...?
MARGUERIT: If you really wanna know, there's a PDA on the bench that can point you in the right direction.
You need anything else... dont bother me. (laughs) But you can help yourself to the greenhouse. Least I can do to repay you for getting those spying pest off my back."

	Explore Lilypad Islands 	"AL-AN: I believe if you search this area you can find a component to help build my body." Or if this is the first component: "AL-AN: You came within range of data that might help with the construction of a new storage medium. You must continue to investigate."
	Explore Deep Lilypads Cave	"AL-AN: I strongly sense my people's technology nearby. A body component is near."
	Find the component 	
"AL-AN: This skeleton is very dense... able to handle heavy forces, a good frame for my new form.
ROBIN: Are you ok, Al-An?
AL-AN: It is not often that I gazed upon the form of a fallen Architect.
ROBIN: Is this place another sort of sanctuary? It's peaceful, beautiful even.
AL-AN: As the bacterium spread, the continuation of life became... uncertain. This is a place to reflect.
ROBIN: I think I understand."
===Arctic Spires Cache===
	Actions 	Dialogue
	Al-An hint 	"AL-AN: I can visualise a location where we may find an important component for my body. The image is hazy but I am sure it is correct. A stark surface landscape. Dangerously cold. Curved spires stretch to the sky."
	Come across a bridge in the Glacial Bay 	
"AL-AN: There is something of significance beyond this bridge. It was important to Alterra but more important to me.
ROBIN: Will it help us build you a body?
AL-AN: I believe so, yes."
	Cross the bridge and enter the Arctic Spires 	
"AL-AN: I am sensing interesting patterns to the North-East. It would be worth investigating. But be careful.
ROBIN: Of what?
AL-AN: I recall ravenous creatures, tunnelling beneath the ice." Or if this is the first component: "AL-AN: You came within range of data that might help with the construction of a new storage medium. You must continue to investigate."

	Find the component 	
"ROBIN: Ah... that is a rough way to go.
AL-AN: Yes, I would not enjoy being crushed while mining ion cube components.
ROBIN: The cold preserved the body well, but this isn't a big sample. Will it be enough?
AL-AN: Our tissues are pluripotent, derived from the DNA of various species, capable of changing form as necessary.
ROBIN: Ah, like stem cells. So what's to prevent you from... I don't know... ending up with hooves where your eyelashes should go?
AL-AN: That does not happen. At least, not since the fourth iteration."
	Scan two body components 	
"AL-AN: You have found two of three components required to for the construction of my corporeal form. This is as close as I have come to autonomy in a long time.
ROBIN: You have such a way with words.
AL-AN: Is that sarcasm?
ROBIN: It was. You're learning.
AL-AN: Hopefully I will not have time to complete my study.
ROBIN: (laughs)
I was wondering, if you can transfer bodies, why was it important to find a cure when you were infected? Couldn't you just make a new body?
AL-AN: As you can see in the components you have scanned thus far, the forms we require combine biological and mechanical parts.
The tissues you have scanned were developed from the DNA of 27 seperate alien species.
ROBIN: Twenty-seven! That seems greedy. And wouldn't that mean that anything that infects a body you've manufactured can potentially learn how to infect all those othe species?
AL-AN: Yes. That is why a cure was imperative."
===Crystal Castle Cache===
	Actions 	Dialogue
	Al-An hint 	
"AL-AN: The network is indicating more of my peoples' technology, but the images I am receiving are fragmented... repeating. I am struggling to locate them precisely.
ROBIN: Fragmented images... why would that happen?
AL-AN: I can only theorize that the locations are deep, and shielded by a refractive material. Perhaps amongst large crystal formations."
	Explore the Crystal Caves	"AL-AN: The crystals in this environment are confusing my sensors-- and yet I feel certain there is something important below-- a facility, or a body component. Perhaps both. I cannot tell." Or if this is the first o
component: "AL-AN: You came within range of data that might help with the construction of a new storage medium. You must continue to investigate."
	Enter the Crystal Castle 	"AL-AN: There is definitely something of value nearby. It could help you build my body."
	Find the component 	
"AL-AN: You will be able to construct bionic organs with the scanned material-- both primary and secondary. Our designs provide for redundancies.
ROBIN: Given your current location, I think they could still be improved.
AL-AN: Your feedback as been noted."
	Scan all body components 	
"AL-AN: You have scanned all the components we need to make a storage-- er-- body.
ROBIN: Are you excited?
AL-AN: Using the chemical compounds available in your body, I am able to approximate what you might call cautious optimism."

 	Next task: Find the Fabrication Facility	
"AL-AN: We have gathered the necessary components to begin constructing my body.
ROBIN: Great. What's next? Let's get you out of my head!
AL-AN: First you must find the Fabrication Facility. It is concealed at some depths.
ROBIN: Fabrication facility. So you planned on needing to make more bodies?
AL-AN: It is a standard medical facility.
ROBIN: A medical facility where you just replace your whole body when it wears out? Sounds a little beyond standard to me.
AL-AN: Ours was a research mission of the highest importance.
ROBIN: So what were you? A scientist, like me?
AL-AN: I am a scientist now.
ROBIN: So what happened? Your team found the vaccine and then--
AL-AN: Please, Robin. You have the components. Find the facility, and construct the body.
ROBIN: Okay. But don't think I don't notice you changing the topic."
 	Enter the Fabricator Caverns 	"AL-AN: I sense the presence of a substancial facility in the area. Unable to identify."
 	Enter the Fabricator Base 	
"AL-AN: Once you have used the Fabricator to build each component, we can assemble them.
ROBIN: And then we can transfer you out of my head?

==Finding Artifacts==
	Actions 	Dialogue
	Finding an Artifact 	
"AL-AN: What you found is more than just an artifact. It will help me follow the traces my people left on this planet.
ROBIN: I'm glad I could help.
AL-AN: I know you would still prefer me to have a corporeal form of my own.
ROBIN: Well, yes.
AL-AN: If you continue searching, I may regain some of my connection to the network, piece by piece."
	Finding a Second Artifact 	"AL-AN: It is both reassuring and unsettling to rediscover this site after being in storage for so long. My connection to the network grows stronger, however slightly. I hope you will continue to search for more of these."
	Finding a Third Artifact 	"AL-AN: Another site found. Perhaps its data will tell me something useful."
	Finding a Fourth Artifact 	"AL-AN: The artifact you found contains traces of information suggesting what has become of my people."
	Finding a Fifth Artifact 	"AL-AN: This artifact could provide useful information. Processing."
	Finding a Sixth Artifact 	"AL-AN: With this artifact, I am again able to trace the imprint of my people. They survived for a time but then their presence becomes faint."
	Finding a Seventh Artifact	"AL-AN: This site is one of some significance. Its data will assist us on our quest."
	Finding an Eighth Artifact	"AL-AN: Another site found, but I cannot yet tell whether the others survived. Still, it holds valuable information. I hope you will find more."
	Finding All Artifacts 	"AL-AN: With this, I believe you have uncovered all the artifacts of note. Thank you for your help. I will have to consider what this means."

 	Scanning an Artifact	
"AL-AN: How do your people communicate if you are not networked?
ROBIN: What do you mean? We just talk to each other.
AL-AN: Do you not find that primitive? My people are able to gain understanding through the network. It takes much of the uncertainty out of communicating.
ROBIN: But that's the beauty of communication-- it builds trust. People choose to let you know them.
AL-AN: We exist as data. We all are aware of each other's thoughts and needs. Scientific endeavors are accomplished much more smoothly this way.
ROBIN: There's more to life than research, Al-An!
I can't lie. Work would go faster if I could read my colleagues' minds. But thoughts are private and people have their own inner lives. People change, and need space to think.
AL-AN: Space helps you think? I find that being separated from my network is very quiet.
ROBIN: What do you mean by "quiet?"
AL-AN: Imagine a thousand strings, each playing its own range of notes, none louder than the others. Each one builds harmony—a continuous thrum in the background of existence. I am now a lone string in search of familiar harmonies.
ROBIN: I'll help you find them.
AL-AN: I think I felt a hint of them when we came across that artifact. If we find more, I might be able to get a stronger sense."

My people exist as an intertwined network, across space. It enables us to understand what each component needs and feels. It takes the uncertainty out of communication. I find myself missing that feeling. I felt the presence of some of the network when we found this artifact. Hopefully, if we find more I can get a better sense of it.	 	
==Al-An Aside Dialogue==
	Actions 	Dialogue
	Sleep while Al-An is in your head 	
"AL-AN: What happens as you are sleeping? I was being pulled from illogical world to illogical world with you at the center of them all.
ROBIN: I was dreaming. The brain processes in mysterious ways when we sleep.
AL-AN: Does it serve a purpose? It was such disorienting and fragmented thought. Random images and sensations.
ROBIN: No one is completely sure what it does. There are theories. But every human dreams. Many other mammals, too.
AL-AN: Is it enjoyable?
ROBIN: It can be. We can experience impossible joy and also impossible terror in dreams. Sometimes I can fly. Sometimes I call out to Sam, and can't reach her. Sometimes, I am in my underwear, defending my doctoral thesis. It's a mixed bag.
AL-AN: (draft) Your biofeedback indicates that flying is the most enjoyable dream. I therefore hope you have more of those. Mainly for my own safety."
	Play a track on a Jukebox while Al-An is in your head 	
"AL-AN: What is the purpose of this device?
ROBIN: It plays music so that I have something to listen to.
AL-AN: What is music? I can detect certain patterns within it. Is it mathematical? An instrument of science? Does it help with your research?
ROBIN: It does! Just not in the way you're probably thinking. Music and math are strongly related. Rhythm is math. Harmonies can be math. But music as a whole is more than that. We experience it on an emotional level.
AL-AN: I sense it has an impact on your pulse and breathing. It makes you move differently. Humans are controlled by music?
ROBIN: We make music, and we are moved by it. Not everything is about control, Alan."
	Hatch a Trivalve and pick it up while Al-An is in your head	
"AL-AN: We also keep various creatures as pets.
ROBIN: Really? How does a species that uses the genes and bodies of other creatures view pets?
AL-AN: They are curiosities that bring some sense of presence and energy. They are also test subjects to be evaluated for potential genetic enhancements.
ROBIN: That's not a pet Al-an...that's a data point. Like you said, it's literally a test subject.
AL-AN: You do not think they can be both?
ROBIN: There's a distinction. Pets are something that you care for simply for the pleasure of doing so.
AL-AN: Would humans consider me to be your pet?
ROBIN: No, I said "pleasure," Alan. This is more like a job.
AL-AN: Where I come from, you might be a pet.
ROBIN: I find that thouroughly disturbing."
