| abstract | - The basic program of FOXALIVE was designed by Naomi Hunter, which she then entrusted to Sunny in 2014, during the short time she was on board the Nomad. Sunny completed the program with an enhanced variation of the worm cluster created by Emma Emmerich, the code of which she found within the Nomad's supercomputer, Gaudi. According to Otacon, it worked by triggering apoptosis in GW's "cells." The GW AI, having been rebuilt and housed aboard Outer Haven, was targeted for destruction by the U.S. military and Philanthropy, after Liquid Ocelot took control of the Sons of the Patriots system. Intending to prevent JD's destruction at the hands of Liquid, which would allow him to gain control of the AI network, Solid Snake and Otacon, via the Metal Gear Mk. III, infiltrated Outer Haven and uploaded the FOXALIVE virus into GW. Unbeknownst to them, however, FOXALIVE used GW as a gateway to destroy the other four remaining AIs of the Patriots, ridding the world of their control for good. According to Naomi in the video message included within FOXALIVE, the Patriots had intended to impose their level of control onto the civilian population, something that she would not allow to happen. In addition, Liquid Ocelot had been behind the creation of FOXALIVE to ensure the total destruction of the Patriots, allowing Outer Heaven to take its place. However, thanks to additional modifications made by Sunny, the worm was able to pinpoint certain critical economic necessities, such as water, electricity, communications and transportation, and prevent them from being affected by FOXALIVE. These subroutines prevented a total collapse of civilization following the downfall of the AIs, belaying James Johnson's fears of a world without the Patriots. However, the damage to the system resulted in various countries becoming bankrupt due to their reliance on the war economy, and fall into massive debt by consequence. Drebin 893 also predicted that the creation of new laws regulating PMCs would not be enough to compensate for this.
