As a result, Al-An gets downloaded into Robin's head/cerebral cortex.įollowing the transfer, Robin will have to find and scan parts of Al-An's Storage Medium throughout the story, including an Architect skeleton, Architect tissues and Architect organs, which can be found at the various Architect Caches laying around Sector Zero. Al-An misunderstands and thinks Robin's equipment is part of her body and accepts her help. When Robin Ayou enters his Data Hub, she offers to download Al-An into her PDA. He sent a distress signal to the Alterra employees as well, but as soon as Alterra found him, he hid himself, claiming that Alterra's motivations didn't align with his. At some point in time, he sent a distress signal to Marguerit Maida, but she didn't answer the distress call. This might be explained by the fact that Al-An was the project leader of the Kharaa's research team, giving him access to a better storage technology. His physical body was likely disposed of afterwards, although for an unexplained reason, Al-An's mind remained intact, capable of thought and speech, unlike the other Architects encountered in The Crater.
Al-An, like the rest of his species, had his consciousness uploaded to a Data Hub.
