"Yeah, that's him." Not nameless or faceless, thankfully--being able to pin her rage squarely on one person, even if he was part of a larger, exploitative system, has been somewhat productive for her. "He had a company, but that decision was...one person."
Shepard seems all at once shocked and not. Maybe more outraged, that something like this was even allowed to happen. The shift in the Horizon has Aloy looking over her shoulder, until things settle again. When she continues, it's with slight trepidation, not only because she hasn't told this story in detail yet, but also because Shepard appears to be taking this slightly personally.
Or, at least, she feels the same anger at how unnecessary all of it was. How avoidable, if not for one man's ego.
"There was a group of scientists. When they figured out what went wrong, they did the only thing they could--a failsafe, for after everyone was gone."
Because everyone was gone. Shepard puts that much together. "GAIA, the AI they developed, spent hundreds of years brute-forcing the shutdown code for the swarm. Then, she started to rebuild. Automated terraforming."
