Cut/Unused Dialogue

Intro

	Trigger	Dialogue
	Starting The Game	"In the late 22nd century, humanity is begging to colonize space. Before colony ships arrive, habitation vessels are appointed terraforming missions. The Aurora was one such vessel. During its decent, the Aurora was stuck by a mysterious energy pulse resulting in catastrophic hull failure. A single lifepod jettisoned prior to impact. You were in that lifepod." File:Old Intro.ogg

Radio Messages

	Day and Message Number	Dialogue
	Day 9, Message 1	"This is Avery Quinn of trading ship Sunbeam. Aurora, do you read? Over. Still nothing. These Alterra ships. They run out of engine grease, they send an SOS; you offer to help, they don't pick up. Aurora, we're out on the far side of the system, it's going to take more than a week to reach your position, do you still need our assistance? Over. I'll try them again tomorrow. See what the long-range scanner picks up in the meantime. Damn charter's going to have us wasting our profit margin running errands for Alterra." File:SunbeamRadio1.ogg
	Day 13, Message 2	"Aurora, this is Sunbeam again. We just picked up a massive debris field at your location. I didn't know how bad... How many of you... I didn't know. We are now en route to your location. We're going to bring you home. Sunbeam out. What else can I say? We're a six seater, and we aren't even slightly equipped to handle this? Our pilot last attempted a planet landing in the academy simulator? Oh, it's a bad option alright, but so are all the others." File:SunbeamRadio2.ogg
	Day 19, Message 3	"Sunbeam, broadcasing to all survivors of the Aurora. We've covered more than half the distance, so hold on in there. We're scanning the planet for dry land as we speak. You couldn't have picked a less convenient parking spot, but we'll be in touch as soon as we have a landing site for you. Sunbeam out." File:SunbeamRadio3.ogg
	Day 21, Message 4	"Aurora, we're approaching the planet now, and we have a landing site for you that's... well, it's better than the alternatives. We've sent you the coordinates. It'll take us a couple of days to align our orbit, we should be able to establish direct contact with you during that time, then we're coming in to get you. Cross your fingers the weather holds, and don't leave us waiting. Sunbeam out." File:SunbeamRadio4.ogg

Final Dialogue

	Conditions	Dialogue
	Player is present at Quarantine Enforcement Platform	"PDA: Attention - Patching in a local broadcast from the Sunbeam. I don't beleive it, there's someone down there! Aurora survivor, we have your PDA signature! I don't know how you walked away from that wreck, let alone survived since then, but we'll be happy to bring you onboard and hightail back to federation space. Stand back, we're approaching the landing site now. Breaking atmosphere in 5... 4... 3... What is that? No, the RED spike. From the planet?! *Static* File:SunbeamDestruction1.ogg
	Player disables the Quarantine Enforcement Platform before Sunbeam arrives	"Aurora survivors, this is trading ship Sunbeam. We've tracked your distress signal, but your ship's left a giant debris field up in orbit, we can't attempt a landing. We're gonna have to head home. We'll send our data to Alterra as soon as we can. Hold on in there. Sunbeam, out." File:Sunbeamcancel.ogg

Trivia

• Due to the fact the AI at the beginning used to say "In the late 22nd century...", Subnautica is believed to take place between 2160-2199.
• Old Seamoth Dialogue indicates that the Seamoth may have been planned to be able to flood, as well as be repaired and drained, similar to the Cyclops.
• There are different voices speaking in certain dialogue, the voices change depending on where the player is. ex: The Standard female voice is there most of the game, but in a Seabase, Seamoth, Prawn Suit, and Cyclops the voices change. This may be due to the fact the player fabricates computer chips for all of these things, so it is possible computer chips contain AI's.
  • However, this may not be true, due to the fact that many other items are used with computer chips but they do not have their own AI.
• During early development, the Cyclops went through a voice change, going from a more text-to-speech style to a more human-like feel.
• Obraxis Prime is an Easter Egg, referring to one of the Subnautica developers, Scott "Obraxis" MacDonald.
• "You've been down too long in the midnight sea.", was a reference to the song Holy Diver by the US heavy metal band DIO. This text was removed from the game.
