Hello, I have thought of the following ideas, any comments and feedback is welcome.
In my mind in the case of Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West a possible storyline for the next game could be that I think that it would be possible given Alloy origins as a clone and the technology used to create her came from the half abandoned Lightkeeper Program that also stored copies DNA of the high level Zero Dawn personal and the ability exists as seen by Alloy for clones during the events of the game to be created, that either after the events of Alloy's birth and the other former Subordinate Functions of ZD like Eleuthera would lacking governance would act on its default orders and create new humans though with the possibility that only the DNA of the other leaders of ZD exist would clone them at other Cradle facilities with if there there 10 Cradles and Alloy was born at the 9th with the other clones being born at the remaining Cradles across the world with some if not all gaining a possibility flawed though advanced education with limited access to knowledge of the old world as well as living among the tribes of the world with there experiences possibly making them either an ally or enermy of Alloy with levels of authority over different aspects of the system second only to her own and that when Ted Faro learnt of what would become of himself would create a clone failsafe that would become active during either the events of HFW believing the actions that would affect himself to be a tragedy requiring the clone or during the event that lead to Alloys birth with the clone being activated to "protect and save" the new world from a potential second extinction event and would be a force in the next game with the possibility that given his lack of knowledge of the system combined it's current state could possibly resulting in multiple clones with each having different behaviours and motivation as one version of him destroyed the world and what could several versions of him do, what do you think, given that several of the subordinate functions where not directly captured by Alloy what do you think there action in the last 20 years could have been doing and the further role of cloning in the storyline?
Another theory I have is that given that NEMESIS has the power to inhabit any from biological or mechanically and as a potential storyline and contrast with Aloy and Elisabeth, people who did everything they could to save the world, is that in order for the AI if it does have such a large size to have a human presence in the story and to gain access to the Terraforming System would create a clone of Elisabeth to inhabit and would be a dark reflection of Aloy, who would need to in effect flight a version of herself to save the world, with the possibility that Aloy would seek to free the clone thinking she was forced against her will only for the dark clone to have gained an Agent Smith like mentality due to having shared her mind with the most evil beings for all her life, and although the rest of FZ has been destroyed if the AI has any purely logical mindset it could see Beta and by extension Aloy due to them being identical clones as being the last members of FZ discounting the fact that Beta was an unwilling participant of FZ and would continue its mission to destroy Earth based on them being alive or something similar, what do you think?
As for the upcoming TV Show I think, I think that given the working title of Horizon 2074, almost 10 years after the end of the Old Ones that part of the show will take place in Elysium, with the bunker acting somewhat like the island from Lost as a self contained location and show the final days of the bunker with the possibility that any flashbacks could be from Aloy discovering holograms and data and learn it's fate as a framing devise to inform the watcher and Aloy of those events, with the events involving Aloy could be in the beginning and end of each episode, maybe using each discovery to learn of ways to defeat NEMESIS or another threat in the show, with it building towards such a battle that could have threated both eras.
Other ideas I have is that Aloy & Co could use Minerva to create a false signal of a high tech cauldron and turn it into a AI version of Pandora's Box to trap it and then using the FZ ship send it into the sun, use HEPHAESTUS to create machines or weapons and armour to combat or stalemate NEMESIS to the point where it cannot cause harm, HEPHAESTUS could given that Aloy has defeated him twice and captured him once could maybe create a Terminator style machine possibly in her image to defeat her and maybe it to damage her reputation, Use Vast Silver as a vires to infect NEMESIS and destroy it from within.
