I made this post on Reddit a whole ago, but I got banned from there so I'm reposting it here
Theory on Tilda/far zenith
Anyway I randomly though of this a while ago and have to share
It has to do with the design of basically all the zenith stuff we see
I noticed that all the zeniths have their own outfits, but few had outfits that actually matched the rest of their theme going on everywhere else with the gold and white and blue stuff
Only two I think that had white and gold was Verbena and Tilda, though notably Verbena had very little of the blue stuff
We know Tilda was good at programming and from how things played out, it seemed that she was the sole creator of Spector prime and designed it in secret
What if robotics and software development weren't the only things she was good at?
We know the zeniths were few in numbers, which combined further with few of them actually being scientists, engineers, architects, etc. and that they stagnated for the most part, meaning they had very few people that were actually working on improving tech and designing new stuff
What if Tilda was one of the main people that still actually kept on making new stuff?
It would explain why everything from the Spectors to their base is completely in line with Tilda's design scheme while the rest of the zeniths immediately look different from everything else around them
Well everyone except Verbena, what if she was copying Tilda's esthetic? It could explain why Tilda is so dismissive of Verbena
It would also score her a few points for her plan actually having a chance to work
Of the already small crew that came to earth, Tilda was okay with all except herself being killed leaving only her and Aloy that would be on the Odyssey, a space ship that would go on a journey for probably hundreds of years in deep space then go to a hostile world that would need to not only terraformed which would mostly be done by Gaia, but also actually have infrastructure built
This at first would seem absurd for any single person to do and make sure everything keeps working, but if she had spent her time wisely and made full use of Apollo(something that could have appeared as a final parting gift after a few decades of her having an obsessive focus on her former lover, and therefore something she might of felt personally obligated to use) , she would be in a position where something like that could be possible
