Horizon Zero Dawn EP43: Ted Talks

I can’t remember if it was explicitly explained or not, but I do remember that Ted never put a backdoor into the Faro swarm that started this whole mess, and that was clearly a mistake he did not want to repeat. He didn’t just fund the Horizon Zero project, but most of it was put together with his tech (you see his logo on a lot of stuff in the ruins, including Apollo), so he must have included a backdoor this time around.
