The Revelation of the Moon

9S learns that humanity is already extinct.

While recovering after Adam captures him, 9S discovers a glitch in YoRHa's servers when syncing himself and 2B, and learns that humanity died out long before the alien invasion. All that remains is a server on the Moon holding humanity's genetic remains, and YoRHa keeps the myth of its survival alive to give the androids a reason to exist.

Lore & Background

The same glitch later lets a logic virus attack corrupt every YoRHa unit. 2B's real designation, 2E, shows she was assigned to kill 9S whenever he discovered this truth, and 9S knew it.
