Could Anyone Still Be Alive INSIDE The Aurora? (Subnautica Lore Theory)

Where’s that .56 of a person in a lifepod? Lol, just kidding. Nice theory btw

No one survived on the ship because it got nuked

Reminds me off the people who were on the upper floors during 9/11

Not to mention the fact that even if someone did survive long enough they'd die to the explosion of the drive core

When you get on the Aurora for the first time after it exploded the pda says "research shows their are parts of human tissues scattered around" something similar along those lines.

but yet its conceivable that at the time of the player's departure someone could still be alive in the back of the ship,while blocked it appears mostly undamaged

bro you gonna get popular af

My guess is that the guys who got radiation suits managed to survive until the explosion so maybe the pda malfunctioned and couldn't verify the leftovers inside the Aurora...

Anyone gonna mention the fact that he said 1.56 per life pod😂😂

I think possibly most of damage in Aurora was caused by explosion that opened access for you

Barely anyone noticed this but why he said about people in the life pods he there was 1.57 basically one and a half of someone where was the other half

Every story in Subnautica is literally "and then everybody died. The End."

Since khaara is present in the water, the Aurora was compromised the instant it made contact with the surface. There is a slight chance that the khaara is also airborne, which would have rendered the ship compromised in the event of a single minute hull breach

i wish in the third subnautica game if we could go back to the aurora

bro has lag on the lowest setting

There was also people from the auroa that made it to sector 0

I mean even if anyone lived long enough to see it they were all on a timer anyway. I imagine that the drive core exploding as we witness from outside would’ve killed anyone left alive in there.

Aurora crashed at crazy speeds and 150 people for a 1km long ship makes it hard for people to even see each other when running through the ship

Headcannon: Lifepod 4 Guy wasn’t killed by Reapers. He made it onto the ship, to be killed by the explosion instead.

“Yay, We survived the plague!”
BOOM

And that was the end of their existence

I like this. Nice lore theory and survival story for the people!

The funny thing is the pawnsuts still survived after the explosion there might have been a chance to tank the explosion and never touch the water and bacteria.

You forgot something important. Anyone who was lucky enough to survive past the Radiation poisoning (they had a suit) and the Cave Crawlers (fended them off successfully, if multiple persons had knives and they kept in groups to slash up the critters before they could slash them) and the Kharaa bacterium (delayed reaction to symptoms because of minuscule differences in their immunity systems, which can only hold it off for a little longer) would all have been killed anyways when the front of the Aurora exploded because of the ship’s Nuclear Reactor becoming unstable due to the leak in the Drive Core. Ryley himself can be killed if he wanders into the Radiation zone by the ship, right before the explosion. How much worse it would be for anyone trapped inside the ship. I imagine they would be instantly vaporized.

Thing is you forgot about the BIG explosion that allows you to go into the Aurora that is what caused the inside to look like that not the crash the things being everywhere will still be the same

Aurora explosion "walks into the room" forget about me.

Uh there are some things that make it unlikely for the crew and passengers to have survived, first is the explosion seen in the intro wether or not it's from the gun doesn't really matter i think most died through that and the impact possibly would have killed even more and with the surface explosion i can see it being impossible for there being any survivors on the aurora post surface explosion.. so changes are they never even got hit by the crabs, the radiation or the karaa

even if they survived the bacteria the aroura would have exploded killing them all in an instant and if it didn't kill them the newly flooded water ways would drown them

And then if there body weren’t eaten by the cave crawlers they were blown to bits along with any and all cave crawlers nearby when the drive core exploded so they we’re screwed even if they weren’t sick and had the radiation suits to protect from the radiation it wouldn’t of matter sense aurora go boom so in conclusion they we’re all screwed ether way

we can see the were the pods are shot idk why that came to my mind

What if some people didnt survive because abandon ship was playing on the speakers and they liked the music

We NEED theory how beleaders get into aurora

Not after the Drive core detonated, that’s for sure.

Pretty interesting theory. Most likely true too. I really liked the video.

There’s a reason subnautica is not known for its lore

So I don’t think subnautica is that scary like what I mean is what people say you know anyway when I watch these story’s on subnautica I get terrified of the game so yeah thanks for making this so my scardyness can go up

By my probably flawed calculations, the Aurora is approx. 1280m long, a third as wide and 400m tall, -100m for the bridge. As the ship is an ellipsoid it has about 107.2 million m3 in volume spread across what looks like six decks. Let’s say that the accessible area for a crew member is a quarter and the rest is for the phasegate and other cargo, leaving 26.8 million m3 for crew.
With only a crew of 148, this means that this is a skeleton crew or the ship is so advanced there doesn’t need to be that many people onboard. Since the ship only has quarters for 150 as per the ship’s PDA entry, the latter is likely the case.
On a ship this large and only 157 people onboard, each person has more than 181,000 m3 to themselves. To say that they were tripping over each other is egregious. They might not even have seen another person until reaching the life-pods.
I have to say, it is rather strange that a ship this big only has 148 crew. Modern naval ships nowhere near the size of the Aurora have up to 400 crew. And it’s not like this is a simple cargo ship, this is a top of the line capital ship, supposedly on a self-contained, three year mission.
At least looking at it this way, Ryley’s title of Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief means he is the person in charge of Non-essential systems maintenance and not a redundant crew member since Alterra Cleary hates redundancy.
Speaking of redundancy, with only 50 life-pods onboard and 2 people per pod, only 100 people could safely escape the Aurora in case of an, this much is obvious. However, as you pointed out in the video, there are going to be pods that leave at non-capacity, and pods that could experience a malfunction, massive gun or not. That means that even a minimum of 75 pods isn’t enough since at the time of the game, there were 9 extra passengers onboard. Really a ship this large needs at least 25% more life-pods than max capacity spread out over the ship so that they are more accessible and less likely to experience a collective catastrophe. But, you have to admire the ship’s ventilation systems.
From where I’m sitting, this game was rigged from the start.

I think you might hit 100k subs one day and get a silver play button which less than 0.05 per cent of people have

I think it’s very likely most of this is true especially since it says the cave crawlers have human tissues in their digestive track so there had to have been some survivors

Well if they were i hear radiation does fine to the body

157 passengers
100 life pod berths
Looks like the White Star Line went back in business at some point.

I always wondered this but never had the motivation thanks breathtaker

"anyone can survive Aurora!"
also the reapers: wrong ship to be on, buddy.
aurora: [BLEEP]ING EXPLODES
Aci (aka the cursed reaper human): ok here I am with my reaper buddies
me who has a missile: Target detected. Name= Aci. Species= Reaper Human. Sending poisonous-gas-filled missile to target location...
the missile: makes reaper humans extinct
me: reapers were already cursed enough but a reaper human? thats just way too cursed
Breathtaker: ok, what the actual [BLEEP] is going in here?

You are extremely underrated

Very cool video + new sub

What about any dead bodies? Why are there no remains?

"Hmmm....interesting looks like some people might of survi-"
SHIP F**KING EXPLODES
"Never mind"

Wait but weren't there 157 People in total on board?
