![]() ![]() A self-styled researcher, Sylens had a deep obsession with the knowledge and technology of the humans of the Old World, referred to as the Old Ones. However, the signal was indeed detected by a wanderer named Sylens. In the technologically primitive New World it found itself in, this would have been highly unlikely. Trapped and unable to move or interact with the environment, HADES began broadcasting a signal in the hope that someone would detect it and come to its aid. HADES found refuge in the still-functional computer core of the remains of an FAS-BOR7 Horus deep in the jungles of The Jewel, southwest of the Carja capital Meridian. Nemesis also gave HADES knowledge on how to build weapons that could be used against the Zeniths, though it could make no usage out of it, as a result of being thwarted. When GAIA self-destructed, HADES sent back a notice of that to Nemesis – which took further 8.6 years to reach Nemesis before the latter then stopped sending the Extinction Signal as a consequence, which was therefore brodcast for about 17.2 years. īecause the signal was only meant to make HADES self-aware, it also gave the AI several other instructions. ![]() However, HADES released a virus that unshackled it from GAIA Prime by destroying the coding that bound it and the other subordinate functions to the facility, and thus escaped the site before it was destroyed. Unable to fend it off, GAIA resorted to self-destructing by overloading the GAIA Prime reactor in an effort to destroy HADES. To do so, it attempted to seize control of the terraforming system from GAIA. It then fixedly sought to reverse GAIA's terraforming effort even though it had been successful. While HADES was the only intended recipient, the other eight subordinate functions were similarly transformed into self-aware AIs, albeit without the malevolence of HADES. The signal turned HADES from a relatively low-level AI to a fully conscious and intelligent entity, filled with antipathy for life. The signal's purpose was to destroy Earth's biosphere, thus preventing its creators from finding refuge there. This signal was created by the rogue AI entity known as Nemesis, an amalgamation of the minds of the Far Zenith colony in the Sirius star system - one responsible for the destruction of the colony. Nearly 1,000 years after GAIA went online, GAIA Prime, the facility where GAIA was located, received a signal sent from deep space, which took about 8.6 years to arrive at destination. Horizon: Zero Dawn - The Frozen Wilds ReviewĠ6 November 2017 The Extinction Signal Also, the reason why LATOPOLIS was used was because the facility was designed to be impenetrable from any signal (entering or exiting), any risks regarding HADES' nature were effectively neutralized.Īfter Zero Day came to pass, HADES activated a total of three times - in 2154, 21 - before GAIA successfully created a stable biosphere. These tests mostly resolved around the sub-function practicing hacking copies of GAIA. Recognizing the delicate balance that needed to be struck with HADES, Tate used the FAS Facility LATOPOLIS to test the subordinate function. The Alpha in charge of HADES' development was Travis Tate, an erstwhile criminal hacker. As such, HADES was originally not a true AI, but could instead be considered an extension of GAIA. HADES' last resort failsafe function intrinsically meant that it only became active if required. One of the subordinate functions, HADES was designed as a solution to that scenario: if GAIA's terraforming efforts proved unsuccessful with regard to producing an environment suitable for sustaining life, HADES would take control of the system and reverse the work done, reverting the planet to its previous lifeless, sterile state so that GAIA could engage in another attempt. While creating the concept for Project Zero Dawn, Elisabet Sobeck recognized that GAIA was unlikely to successfully restore the biosphere on her first attempt.
