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, I'm 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." |

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 situation, but so are all the alternatives." |

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." |
|
|
Day 21, Message 4 | "Aurora, its Sunbeam. We've made orbit, and scans have found a landing site on the planet that's only rated hazardous. It's our best shot. We've sent you the coordinates. We'll be there in two days time. Cross your fingers the weather holds, and don't leave us waiting. Sunbeam out." |

Trivia
- Old dialogue from the PDA indicated that originally, instead of the player needing to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, the player needed to forcefully change the atmospheric composition of the planet in order to disperse an energy field in the stratosphere. It is implied that this energy field is the reason the Aurora crashed, likely causing the referenced electromagnetic pulse mentioned in the scan conducted on the Aurora.
- Several lines of old dialogue reference the fact that the Aurora was originally intended to be a mining and habitation vessel, tasked with ensuring the habitability of a planet prior to the colony ships arriving. As mentioned in a line of dialogue offering a mission briefing, the player is intended to disperse the aforementioned energy field in time, so that the colony ships heading to Planet 4546B don't suffer the same fate as the Aurora.
- 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 cut mechanics of 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.
- 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.
