Al-An

Al-An is a member of the Precursor Race who will be present as a character in Subnautica: Below Zero.

When Kharaa broke out Al-An's mind was likely stored whilst the body was destroyed. Al-An appears to be unique in that their mind has remained conscious unlike other stored minds which are in a dormant state.

Al-An appears to be capable of broadcasting messages, as shown when they deny Robin access to the Mountain Cave Base. It is later revealed that Al-An broadcasts these warnings from within Sanctuary Zero.

Story
It seems that Robin Goodall will have to find and scan parts of Al-An's body throughout the story, including a head, arms, legs, and power source. The end goal of this will be to fabricate them a new body at the Fabricator Base. The reason for doing so is currently unknown, however, upon the completion of their new body, Al-An will act as an NPC.

Trivia

 * The name "Al-An" or "Alan" is likely a play on the word "alien".
 * It was previously stated by story writer Tom Jubert that Precursors would not be seen. Ironically, it would be Jubert who later unwittingly revealed the existence of Al-An on the developers’ public Trello board.
