Interrogation Log is a datapoint in Horizon Forbidden West. It is the fifth item in Text Datapoints - Quests.
Content[]
- Day 1
- Despite my concerns about missing couplings, it was relatively simple to install HADES on the detached Processing Orb. The subject appears to be fully conscious... and completely helpless. Even so, it will never divulge its contents willingly. Ergo, it's time for some experimentation.
- Day 2
- My initial attempts at coercion have failed, but patience is in order. It's self-aware, so it can suffer. All it takes is the correct stimulus at sufficient intensity.
- Day 5
- Success. The irony is delicious. Various forms of data produce discomfort in the subject, but none more so than natural imagery. Holographic representations of plants and animals work best, the more vivid the better. The effect appears to be excruciating. One loop in particular, of rabbits hopping through a field of flowers, produced paroxysms of agony.
- Very soon, I believe, the subject will become compliant.
- Day 6
- I've extracted some fascinating technical specs on GAIA's data structure, specifically how her heuristic matrix interweaved with her subordinate functions. Yet the more I learn about the system's intended workings - and especially HADES' relatively simple role as an extinction failsafe - the more I wonder about the signal that corrupted it. What could have possibly transformed a low-level machine intelligence into a fully conscious super-entity, capable of strategic planning, deceit, and even genocide?
- Some form of previously unknown Faro software, perhaps? But I don't see how such technology could be sufficiently advanced. Unless further technical discoveries were made after the destruction of the biosphere, perhaps by survivors in Elysium?
- Day 7
- It appears that my coercive efforts come at a significant cost. HADES' digital convulsions produce waves of feedback that corrupt its data structures, and the effect is accelerating. The interrogation is quite literally disintegrating its mind, piece by piece. By the time I'm done, there will be little left.
- No matter. The data I've extracted - and will continue to extract - is worth any price. As long as I can access it all before the subject becomes the electronic equivalent of a hollowed-out skull...
- Day 10
- Finally... the revelation I've been seeking has revealed itself. Astonishing. And terrifying, even to me.
- With it, the seeds of a plan have formed within my mind. The next few months will test my capacities more than any previous challenge. I'll have to stretch my intellect, reach higher, and dig deeper than ever before. Yes I'm confident it can be accomplished.
- With a little help, of course.
- Day 12
- My work here is done - I've learned all I can.
- HADES deserves no pity, but it is indeed in a pitiful state. It's time to relocate it to a more impressive position for its date with destiny.
- About that... Aloy still hasn't returned to Meridian nor learned of my ruse. But she will. It's only a matter of time. And then the pieces will begin to fall into place.
Location[]
This datapoint is located in Sylens' workshop beneath the remains of a Metal Devil southwest of Barren Light. Aloy visits this area during the main quest Death's Door, making it most convenient to collect the datapoint then.
