Multiservitor

Multiservitor

The multiservitors are robots created to raise the new humans created within ELEUTHIA cradles.

Appearance

In the present day, the multiservitors have a humanoid design, being comprised of a robotic skeleton with hands resembling rubber gloves. While they were looking after the children, they had a holographic disguise of regular humans with their rubber glove-like hands still visible.[1][2][3][4][5][note 1]

The appearance of the multiservitor does not change with their active personae, although their voice will, as Father changed to Healer without changing appearance, but did change voice.[4]

Purpose

Multiservitor (female; HZDR)
Multiservitor (male; HZDR)

Built to deliver[6] and care for raise the new humans born within ELEUTHIA's cradles during early childhood,[7] the multiservitors have three personae they can switch between depending on the situation, the nurturer[5] known as Mother,[1][3] the disciplinarian[5] known as Father,[2][4] and the healer[5] known as Healer.[3]

The ELEUTHIA team were aiming for the multiservitors to have a Turing score of 0.4, which would allow them to have low-grade empathy and limited improvisation ability without undermining adherence to codified behavior sets.[5] However, this limited ability sometimes led to problems, such as multiservitors talking in circles.[2]

The multiservitors can produce holographic recordings of incidents that happen with the children.[1][2][3][4] They are also capable of performing repairs to the ectogenic chambers.[6]

The multiservitors were provided with equipment within their cradles in order to help them raise the young children, including cribs to raise the newborns.

How many multiservitors there are in a cradle is unknown, with five inactive multiservitors being findable within ELEUTHIA-9, although Multiservitor B1-23's name indicates there are at least 23 multiservitors within that cradle.

History

In the Old World

Development of the multiservitors proved to be a greater challenge than expected, as the stimulus-driven switching of personae often led to persistent feedback loops between the disciplinarian and healer personae, including an incident where a multiservitor running the mother personae intervened on a disciplinarian multiservitor's behavior, which Patrick Brochard-Klein compared to a parental argument.[5]

In the New World

E9B1 Incident Log A

Within ELEUTHIA-9, the multiservitors were able to successfully raise the new children born in the cradle. However, they did not allow the children access to the Lyceum, persistently stating the area was not yet available to them.[4] They also gave the children vague answers or avoided their questions about when they would be allowed to see the world outside for themselves instead of just seeing holograms and pictures[1] or when they asked to be allowed into the Lyceum.[4] This greatly frustrated the children, often leading to them throwing a tantrum[1] or attempting to harm the multiservitors.[4]

E9B1 Incident Log B

Despite the children growing into adolescence, the multiservitors continued to treat them like young children, encouraging them to "run and jump and blow off steam" when they were frustrated. Their low Turing score also made it obvious to the children that the multiservitors were not people, including causing the multiservitors to sometimes talk in circles.[2]

E9B1 Incident Log C

On March 16, 2326,[6] with the children in their late teenage years,[8] the food supply in ELEUTHIA-9 was depleted. With no other option, a multiservitor running the mother persona released the teenagers into the wilds. When one of them asked what would happen to the multiservitor, it replied that it would stay there, sleep, and remember all of them. When another asked what would happen to them, the multiservitor replied that they would be brave and they would learn.[3] Once all of the teenagers had left, the doors of the cradle were sealed, and ELEUTHIA-9 entered a dormant state.[6]

On August 26, 3020,[6] almost 700 years after ELEUTHIA-9 entered dormancy, GAIA sent an order to ELEUTHIA-9 to gestate a re-instantiation of Elisabet Sobeck,[9] utilizing genetic material from her intended to be used for the Lightkeeper Protocol before it was scrapped. Multiservitor B1-23 was activated to carry out this task. After experiencing a power malfunction and being repaired, it attached store file #LK1A1-4510 to Chamber B1-001 to begin gestation.[6]

Just over seven months later, on April 4, 3021,[10] Multiservitor B1-23 was activated again to deliver the baby. After experiencing another power malfunction and subsequent repair, it successfully delivered the child. Following GAIA's instructions, it took the child outside of ELEUTHIA-9's gene locked hatch,[6] leaving the child on the floor just outside the door[11] before returning back into the cradle. Once the hatch was sealed, Multiservitor B1-23 experienced yet another power malfunction[6] and seemingly collapsed just meters beyond the door.

Trivia

  • As revealed in the subtitle files for The Heart of the Nora in the localization files of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, a multiservitor was intended to appear as a character during the quest, welcoming Aloy within ELEUTHIA-9, with the only line found being "Welcome….".[12] However, this was cut and none of the multiservitors that can be found within the facility speak to Aloy in the final game.
