The hidden truth - Horizon Zero Dawn.

Inside the old FARO Corporation building, I found several clues suggesting that this place was once the base of operations for a giant technology team. In one of the living rooms, I found a life-size model of a Deathbringer, which led me to believe that this corporation had also created these dangerous weapons.

The first floor was easy to access, but from the second floor onwards I had to climb through the elevator shafts, which, as you can imagine, weren't working.

I reached an area where there was no other way to continue except by making a dangerous external climb. Little by little, I jumped and hung onto the piles protruding from the structure until I reached the top.

At the top of the tower, the view was incredible, with a 360-degree range of vision. But I hadn't climbed up there to enjoy the view; my goal was to find some trace of information about the activities of the FARO foundation.

In the office of the director of that place, I found a database that I scanned with the FARO and was able to access information, which was partially corrupted but still readable in parts.

When I accessed the information, holograms appeared before me showing the private meetings between Elisabeth and Dr. de Faro. Many things were explained in those meetings.

First, there was talk of how weapons had been revealed and threatened not only the extinction of the human race, but the elimination of all life on Earth. This was because the machines used fuel created from biomass extracted from their surroundings.

There was also talk of creating an autonomous system accompanied by several subroutines, which would be responsible for controlling the entire environment on the planet, from flora and fauna to the sea and climate. This project was called Zero Dawn.

Finally, they mentioned the possibility of creating a parallel project to gestate new human beings from cultivated genetic material. This worried Aloy greatly, as her fear of not having a biological mother became more and more likely.

After watching the meetings, Sylens appeared before Aloy and criticized her for being more concerned about her mother than about the fact that she had finally revealed the truth that had been hidden for so long. Aloy called him insensitive and asked him what the next step would be.

The next place to visit will be an old military site known as Cementetric, which was also part of Faro Automated Solutions. According to Sylens, this is where the Chariot series robots were developed, and there is a good chance of finding additional information about the origin of the corrupted robots and the most effective way to combat them.

The place was more devastated than the previous ruins, and there was evidence of fighting everywhere. I guess getting in won't be so easy, but I know I'll make it.
