Far Zenith

What if, Varl was ALIVE? After the mission in GEMINI, where everyone supposes he's dead, the Zenith's could have locked him at their base's secret room, and he turns to a Zenith himself? You know, like a half-robot???

I thought an ending with this:

Nemesis arrives to earth and helps Varl-bot (I just thought of that) destroy life on earth!

And at the final mission, Zo tells her child (Do you remember, after GEMINI, when she confessed she was going to have a kid?) to stay back in safety, but the child secretly follows Aloy!

So, at the final battle, when Varl sees his child, decides to help Aloy defeat Nemesis!

BUT, I THOUGHT SOMETHING EVEN MORE CRAZY!

Varl is dead and Nemesis when arrives at earth finds his body at a secret room at the Far Zenith base. Nemesis turns him a Zenith (half-robot I said earlier?) and puts itself into Varl's brain?!?!?!

Nemesis now can control Varl's body and decides to find Aloy pretending to be real Varl to spy her!!!

At the end, the heroes realize their best friend was their worst enemy and here comes the final battle! Zo is hiding at the base to give birth at her baby but when Varl sees his child he suddenly realizes he is a threat to his friends, to his favorite woman and even his son (or daughter)!

He fights Nemesis to regain control of his body but he can't!!!

Without having another choice, Varl kills himself.

What do you think?

Thoughts on what I would like to see:

Would love to see a actual good Zenith, looking to help against Nemesis has to be one that’s not arrogant or double crossing

Beta becoming more confident and maybe playable (could just be at the start of the game, like a tutorial on how to get back into the game but can work narratively)

Seyka return in some capacity doesn’t need to be major. Maybe he and The Quen come to help against the threat

Sylens goes out on a heroic and respectable way, in honor of the late Lance Reddick

More Sea Creature and underwater combat would be nice than focused stealth sections

I know the developers discussed multiplayer, be interesting to see only if it adds and not taint the overall experience

Given that FZ faked their destruction during the building of ZD and before Ted deleted Apollo, there is something of a plot hole where had the new generation of humans received Apollo and restarted civilisation at a level of complexity at the 2060’s, that within a few generations it would not be inconceivable that they would either be able to travel through space themselves or otherwise build powerful enough space telescopes to detect FZ on their colony, that would somewhat render their efforts to hide their existence less effective,

In my mind given the fact that they were aware though Hank Saw that Ted had created Omega Clearance and thus having completed control over the entire ZD system, potentially had Ted not independently taken over the system and destroyed Apollo himself, they might have either though creating a clone of Elisabet centuries earlier to delete Apollo themselves or at least removing information from the Apollo database that could lead back to them,

Or another possibility is that given that they were seemingly not surprised by the existence of the current generation of humans given their reactions to the new world, that they had some form of monitoring over Earth and ZD after their departure from Earth, with Tilda in particular being the most obvious indication in wanting to have some sort of connection with Elisabet, with them intending to use some plan to further hide themselves, only for Ted to independently destroy the Apollo database that would render their own attempts unnecessary in their plans

Though they might have knowing Ted had a higher level of clearance than Elisabet, they could have in some fashion gained a sample of his DNA to create their own version of Ted and used his genetic code as the key to overcome the security of ZD as GIAI had no idea of its existence or ability to counter it,

With the hypothetical that given the level of intelligence and sophistication of the Signal that NEMESIS used to activate HADES that was able to evade and easily overcome the powers of a 900 year old GIAI, maybe NEMESIS obtained a DNA sample to access Omega, in unknown circumstances created a clone of Ted itself or gained access to a clone that had already been created but never used by FZ kept on ice, with the potential that the clone given Beta’s name could have been named Alpha,

What do you think?

In the datapoint HEPHAESTUS Revisited, Beta says that HEPHAESTUS' contact with the Far Zenith network would give it access to more advanced technologies. That got me thinking: what if HEPHAESTUS starts creating Specter-like variants of the preexisting machines, and then it makes new machines. Also, Guerilla PLEASE give us Sawtooth in third game because I miss it and HZD is outdated so I'm not gonna play that again.

So after far zenith got just bodied what happened to all the specters they can't self replacate to make more so did they just die of?

Faro? Far Zenith? Sylens? Vast Silver? Or someone we don't even know?
