aloy is then contacted by sylens (lance reddick), a secretive figure interested in uncovering what happened to the "old ones". aloy eventually learns that dr. sobeck was sent to an orbital launch base to complete zero dawn and sylens reveals that the base is located under the citadel, the centre of eclipse power. aloy heads for the base and inside, she finds out that zero dawn was a vast underground system of databases, factories, and cloning facilities controlled by a single artificial intelligence, gaia (lesley ewen). once all life had been extinguished, gaia developed a countermeasure to deactivate all of the faro robots and then build its own robots to restore the earth's biosphere. once the planet was habitable again, gaia reseeded life on earth based on stored dna and taught the first human clones not to repeat their predecessors' past mistakes. however, apollo, the system designed to teach the new humans, was sabotaged by faro in a fit of nihilism, and the cradle-born humans were therefore reduced to a tribal, subsistence society. hades (john gonzalez) was one of gaia's subsystems designed to enact controlled extinction if the outcome of zero dawn was not favourable for human existence. reaching dr. sobeck's office, aloy downloads a registry to give her access to the door from which she was born. however, she is captured by helis and sentenced to death at the citadel, but escapes with the help of sylens. aloy helps the nora tribe fight off the eclipse and ends up at the door beneath the nora mountain.
