Despite having a mind of its own, MINERVA constantly tried to carry out its mission. When Aloy was able to explain to MINERVA that it would be a part of GAIA again, only then did it allow Aloy to override it. It found solace in knowing that its misery would end in its demise.
Of GAIA's 9 subroutines, MINERVA was the first subordinate function to deploy. For decades, after the destruction of the Earth's biosphere, it ran complex calculations to break the encrypted activation codes of the Faro Swarm.
Once MINERVA was able to break the codes, deactivation instructions were broadcasted via transmission towers rendering the swarm's machines inert. Only then could the remaining subordinate functions begin the long process of restoring life to the planet.
When HADES was infected by the Mysterious Signal that gave it malevolent consciousness, GAIA destroyed herself to prevent it from taking over and triggering another extinction. It was at this time a deranged and semi-conscious MINERVA fled to a processor somewhere in the Forbidden West.
MINERVA was the subordinate function programmed to decipher the codes that would deactivate the Faro Swarm. As soon as these codes are completed, robots assembled by HEPHAESTUS would broadcast the signal.
