Captain Ayomide Okilo was a member of Project Zero Dawn, serving as the Alpha in charge of the MINERVA subordinate function.
History[]
Ayomide Okilo was a military captain, presumably of Nigerian origin, addressed as a Information Warfare Specialist.[1] Due to its reserves of lithium, her country was invaded numerous times by military robots, including Metallurgic International and U.S. Robot Command. Captain Okilo was well-versed in human-robot conflict, and had some of her limbs replaced with prosthetics due to combat injuries. She was evidently proud of her military service, preferring to be referred to by her rank.[2]
Project Zero Dawn[]
During the early stages of the Faro Plague, Captain Okilo was hopeful that Project Zero Dawn would be able to stop the Faro Plague, despite her estimates that it was hopeless.[2]
Shortly after, Captain Okilo was brought to the Zero Dawn Project Facility to be recruited as part of Project Zero Dawn as the Alpha in charge of the development of MINERVA, which was responsible for providing GAIA with the ability to generate and broadcast the codes to deactivate the Faro Plague.[3]
As the Faro Plague overran humanity's remaining strongholds before the subordinate functions were complete, Captain Okilo and the rest of the Alphas were evacuated to the GAIA Prime facility, where they would spend the rest of their lives perfecting their respective subordinate functions.
Almost a month later on February 2, 2066, Captain Okilo and the other Alphas were gathered into a meeting by Ted Faro. They were shocked to learn that Ted had not only locked them out of all the systems, but had purged all copies of the APOLLO database, believing it to be a disease that he wanted to keep from the new humans Zero Dawn would create. Ted then vented the room's atmosphere, killing Tanaka, along with the other Alphas.[4]
Legacy[]
Captain Okilo's efforts resulted in the successful deactivation of the Faro Plague sometime around 3016 to 3026, allowing terraforming efforts to begin.
One of the transmission arrays, which would come to be known as the Spire by the surrounding humans, played a significant role in the creation of the Carja tribe.[5] As a result, the Spire became a central part of the Carja faith, and the mesa it was located on became the burial grounds of Sun-Kings and nobles. However, the rogue subordinate function HADES later attempted to use the Spire to reawaken the Faro Plague and wipe out life again, but it was stopped by Aloy.[6]
