Odd Horse

Body transfer scene from the old story.

Most of the animations are the same, but AL-AN does display some unique color changes and animations that aren’t seen in the final story.

He also lacks the voice filter once he has his own vessel.

The many colors of AL-AN :)

I forget just how large AL-AN is sometimes compared to Robin

A conversation between AL-AN and Robin in the old story about sensory perception

Me when the phase gate is opening

Yes! I assume for shock absorption considering how dense Architect vessels are. Perhaps utilized when they do their blink ability?

Here is the same animation from a different angle

Here’s a very adorable animation that AL-AN has in the early-access original story!

I do prefer the final story, but this is so cute. I think they should’ve kept this animation in the final release. It gives him more personality.

A conversation Robin and AL-AN have about the sea emperor leviathan within the old story.

I don’t particularly like the old story, but I do think this is something that should have been kept from it. It broadens the perspective on why they were so insistent on keeping the SEL. They didn’t just do it to be cruel; I think it was seen as an unfortunate and necessary measure. Keep one member of a species confined to study to potentially save many more. I think too often we apply human ethical standards to Architects who clearly have a different understanding and outlook.

What's wrong with you... why are you blue?
