Talk:Destroyed Lifepods/@comment-38055130-20190105024823

Well here's a theory on the fate of the lifepods...

Lifepod 2: All occupanats but Yu drowned.

Lifepod 3: Seaglide overloaded in attempt to daisy chain two batteries, leaving behind fragment and killing all occupants

Lifepod 4: Managed to scan and decoy a Reaper (PDA Voice Log specifies this as a Reaper, not anything else), however, either the decoy didn't last long enough and the Reaper ate the person, or the person died due to radiation as they swam towards the Aurora.

Lifepod 5: You!

Lifepod 6: Fuel line exploded, all dead.

Lifepod 7: Fabricator failed, died of starvation due to lack of food.

Lifepod 12: Well, here's a weird one. There is damage on it, suggesting something had a go at it, but there are no large enough predators to do so. My guess: A warper sensed the increased infection levels in Danby, came over from the Mountains border of the Bulb Zone, and killed him. In fact, one "alien" message reads ''"RADIO: ▀▖┗▛Subject 11783 destroyed. Mode ▄▖▜▚┣: patrol. New targets unaccounted for: 1." ''Subject 11783 is most likely Danby. There are no other plausible Warper deaths, which is most likely why there is no other message like this. The unaccounted target is you, obviously. (BTW, just to prove that the radio can really pick up warper transmissions and that they aren't something else - the PDA suggests that the Precursors had telepathic abilities to communicate and download data via electromagentic fields, which they most likely implemented into the Warpers they made. And what is radio? Electromagentic signals.)

Lifepod 13: Died upon impact, damage due to metal peeling away at "critical external temperatures".

Lifepod 17: Confusing as hell. There are no predators that can successfully damage a Seamoth (thus a lifepod). Maybe it was a Sand Shark, but another (less plausible) explanation is... maybe a Levathian class snuck over from a bordering biome? Maybe?

Lifepod 19: Abandoned by Keen, who met Yu on floating island. Both were intercepted by a Reaper on the way to the Aurora, Yu died. Keen, stuck in some unknown location between the Aurora and the island, somehow dies.
