It has very, very rudimentary AI that struggles to communicate in any known machine language. It has been here for some time and appears to be malfunctioning quite badly. If a machine can feel loneliness then surely this is the loneliest little creature in this cozy town.

Aloy may need to try a few times to get it to pay attention and talk to her. The lighting appears to have done a number on it and it's scanners are not properly picking up on life. The machine will be somewhat confused to find another entity trying to communicate with it. It is certain that it has landed in an inhospitable planet and that it is doing the necessary work to make it safe for the people who were following after... But it has been alone here for a long, long time. It doesn't seem malicious, but it does seem desperate to accomplish the task that it was given to fulfil its purpose and does not want to stop.
