The main reason the Sea Emperor couldn’t communicate with the Architects is most likely because their brains were mechanical

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

Bart was also only seeing visions and probably not hearing anything, Bart had cerebral implants, what a coincidence. How poetic it is that it's the artificial and altered minds that caused these two groups to be unable to save themselves from a natural biological disease.

[@kiberrose1229]

​​@@ThatBugBehindYou considering that Bart didn't know anything about the disease, he could have also misinterpreted those messages as malfunctions of his implants combined with hallucinations from the illness. They didn't know anything about possible symptoms, and combined with practical isolation this led to him not being ably to properly read the signs

[@titanhail0495]

I always thought of the seemingly throw away line of "The visions are getting worse" from Bart as just delirium taking hold of him from the infection and never as the Sea Emperor talking to him, but now that I've heard it...that makes perfect sense. The revelation has my jaw on the floor.

[@The_Real_Coral_Grimes]

[@Triad3Force]

Something else to consider here. Bart was extremely intelligent and thoughtful young man, surely he would have been willing and able to help the sea emperor like Riley does. However, in his last message it seems like Bart wasn't able to understand the telepathic messages from the sea emperor. They were vexing to him as just "visions." However, the logs say that Bart had neural implants and his education was at least partly a digital upload to his brain. What if those implants were somehow interfering with the sea emperor's telepathy and that's why he wasn't able to interpret the visions?

I think the reason the architects couldn’t hear the Sea Emperor’s telpathy is because they’re not organic. They are data given sentience and bodies.

[@Omniscient_AI]

They also talk to each other through a network, so they probably just kept talking, but yes, also because they aren't fully organic and are just sentience from data in a mainly organic shell (for Al-An at least, I don't know about the others)

[@TaskForce-ql3bx]

It is explained why the architects couldn’t hear the sea emperor. In her line “For what they tried to take, I give to you freely” showing she likely simply didn’t tell them because of the enslavement she endured from the architects

[@FlareFluff]

14:19 ITs explained in sub zero that the architects are already a communal organism, AL-AN specifies about "Imagine a thousand strings, each playing its own range of notes, none louder than the others. Each one builds harmony-a continuous thrum in the background of existence. I am now a lone string in search of familiar harmonies". . i think this wither drowned out the sea empress's telepathy or made them incompatible.

[@sonicover]

My theory is that the Sea Emperor felt resentmet towards the architecs. In some of the dialoges it has with the player it mentions: "I will give you freely what the others tried in vain to take" and "To you, I give the secret willingly", revealing that even with the world ending, it saw the architects as "unworthy" beings, or at least not deserving to know how the enzymes worked. Why? Let's remember that the Sea Emperor is pretty inteligent, to the point of being phylosophical and undersating how it's chamber worked, being aware that it conected to the outside sea through pipes and that the big thing in the middle was a portal. It even knew the specifics on how to make the enzymes to fully imitate the perfect breeding conditions for it's eggs. It had both intelligence, counciousness and a sense of morality. It's possible that it tried to communicate with the architects through it's psychic powers, but the architets weren't able to get the message. Chances are the Sea Emperor TRIED to communicate with the through other ways but the architets treated it like a regular animal that just happened to be useful, and far from trying to get it's help they simply use it like a resource and nothing else. Having no regard for it's life, it's eggs, or any other life. The Sea Emperor probably took notice and decided to not cooperate with them, and instead trying to find it's own way to solve the problem while being confined. That's probably how it realized it could send peepers with small portions of the enzyme. Then we came to the planet and we could actually understood it, and the game unfolded from there

Yeah that’s what I was thinking after playing below zero. Since they are made out of both biological and mechanical parts and there minds can be uploaded and put into storage I just thought that it was a more mechanical mind that the sea emperor couldn’t speak with telepathically.

When Kharaa first was accidently leaked into the world of 4546B, you'd think the existing population of sea emperors alive then would have produced enough enzyme 42 to have curbed the bacteria's devastation. Especially when you consider it only took 5 juveniles under two years to eliminate Kharaa from the entire planet (except what was found in the frozen leviathan in Below Zero.) Also, I'm wondering if in future games we learn that Kharaa isn't just a naturally discovered bacteria, but that it was an intentional biological weapon created by a rogue faction of the Architects or by one of their interstellar rivals. It could even have been designed as a type of panspermia since it rewrites DNA. Maybe it was created to seed planets and rewrite existing life to mirror the form of its originators as a way to propagate their species. Only it didn't always do that as intended or it mutated to instead act as a deadly pathogen. Since the PDA hints that the Cuddlefish may not be indigenous to the planet, maybe it's a surviving member of that other sentient, well meaning species who accidently unleashed Kharaa on the galaxy while attempting to colonize it.

The Architects had a sort of mostly cybernetically augmented physical form that they effectively downloaded into. They couldn't understand the telepathic communications because they were effectively a collective digital consciousness for the most part, and their biological neurology wasn't sufficient for the Sea Emperor to make contact. It should also be worth noting that the Architects didn't "die" as they were a sort of hive mind of cybernetically augmented beings with most of their mind uplaoded to a sort of neural engramatic storage. Though it is unknown if the storage in these areas survived, but a note hints that they were effectively uploaded to whatever network they were using. The telepathy aspect is also hinted by other organisms in Subnautica, such as the Mesmer, which directly controls your actions through a series of lights it releases. It's likely that this emerged several times on the planet but it's just we only see two examples of organisms that can influence neuronal firing in another. The Sea Emperor's are ridiculously long lived, and given their ability to communicate (which might be the furthest form of an underwater method of communication like what we see in Cetaceans taking the next step by directly influencing the brain, though you probably couldn't do this across an entire planet if it depended on mirror neurons lol) were probably as intelligent as human's, if not moreso, but did not need technology due to their size (perhaps instead cultivating the ecosystem by gaining understanding how it works over a very long life).

I still like to hold onto the hope a few groups of Sea Emperors with the Enzyme 42 producing mutation did manage to survive the outbreak. They probably had to be more spread than before, but perhaps there might still have been enough microscopic lifeforms to feed a few small groups.

I don’t know if it’s just for being part of the sequel or not, I assume it is since you use Alan’s design for the Precursors, but just in case it’s implied the reason the Sea Emperor wasn’t heard by any of the Precursors is because they work like a hive mind with every thought and voice echoing in their head, one extra voice would be unnoticeable especially with a population as big as theirs.

I love subnautica and to me, you’re the best youtuber for that game. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@Guywithaname199]

(Don't read if you don't want spoilers) And also Al-an from below zero leaded that Sea emperor -project.

[@Rmry_Gryffin]

The Sea emperor probably just didn't want to let the Architects know how to hatch them to protect them

[@TimmWebbYT]

Sea Emperors look like the Sea Dragons big cousins, I mean “Sea Emperor” “Sea Dragon” even the names are similar, with both of them having 7 outer tentacles and one larger middle tentacle. I’ll stop there since if I didn’t I would go forever and also I don’t think it should be to hard to see any similarities with a good look at both of them. Only other thing that I want to say, is that I find it absolutely amazing that Peepers saved the entire planet of 4546B😂

3:48 just realized that the thing underneath the jaw looks like the sea emperor leviathan is surprised with her mouth open

[@GeneralHayateTCG]

I’ve heard theories that the protrusion or antlers might be the thing that gives sea emperors the ability to use telepathy once fully grown

[@thatboyDJ1]

13:23 simple, they all need to be peaceful to survive, they need to work together

[@MrLabo]

I never thought a video about the Sea Emperor will make me sad

[@TheOnlyBrightlord]

The architects probably werent able to hear the emperors call because they are half machines and do not have brains in a way needed for the telepathy as we see the architect body in subnautica below zero

[@Chedder_Almighty]

The sea emperors could indeed give off a low telepathic signal, that could be how they live in such deep waters such as the void, especially the juveniles, that could stop leviathans like the ghost leviathans from attacking them.

[@ALEX_editzzzzzzzz]

Idk why but everything I see the sea emperor it gives me the chills

[@iAletho]

Maybe its the Telepathy :P

[@ALEX_editzzzzzzzz]

@@iAletho maybe

[@KyTheGamer676]

You can find the same juveniles in below zero in certain locations, showing the swam across the void
