An unused aside dialogue between AL-AN and Robin. A conversation about gems and names.
Transcript below the cut
Robin: “Looks like this was an Alterra mining site. Gemstones everywhere.”
AL-AN: “Why do humans designate only some minerals as gems?”
R: “Because they're not just functional, we also find them beautiful—decorative.”
A: “Is that why Ruby is a human name according to the database in your PDA?”
R: “I think so.”
A: “Astatine is technically the rarest known element. Do humans name their children Astatine? I did not see it listed.”
R: “…No, I’ve never met a human named Astatine.”
