#i could be totally wrong though and ogas could have just hacked them

On the subject of Nytos being hacked...

I don't trust OGAS in the slightest. And the impression I got was that M4 didn't do anything herself and just assumed OGAS followed through on the promise to hack Nyto.

The reaction of Nimogen and Mercurow when the headband was broken reminded me eerily of the Doctor Who episode when the Cybermen are able to understand what has happened to them. Some of them die on the spot, a lot of them go insane, and one cries at their reflection in the mirror.

I would not be surprised if the headband keeps the Nytos from under control, or stops them from going insane, and for whatever reason OGAS didn't want to tell M4 this.
