Hyron Project

The Hyron Project is an advanced network of quantum computers, slaved to human drones, first mentioned in Deus Ex: Icarus Effect and appearing in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
Though it is unofficially mentioned in some e-mails on computers in the Tai Yong Medical 4th floor office level, the Hyron Project is first officially mentioned during A Matter of Discretion side mission when Adam Jensen inquires Mengyao, an associate of Hugh Darrow, about the information on the datachip he recovered. She tells him that it contains the data on Panchaea's advanced computer system, the Hyron Project.

Much later, once Adam arrives on the Panchaea installation to shut down Darrow's broadcast, Hugh informs him that it can be done from the broadcast center, at base of the installation, but the Hyron is the security system protecting it, able to adapt to new situations almost instantly. Eventually though, he can be convinced to give up the deactivation code for the life support system to Jensen. When Adam arrives in the Hyron Project chamber, he discovers that it is indeed a very advanced computer network - but its operational status depends on three human females connected to it via special interface suits.

Before having further time to examine it, Zhao Yun Ru appears and connects herself to the Hyron in an attempt to control it, and alter Darrow's broadcast to the Illuminati specifications. But the system doesn't recognize her biochip, and so she cannot take full control of it. However, she does manage to activate the defenses, consisting of turrets and security bots. Adam is forced to deactivate Zhao's defenses by either eliminating the female drones or using Darrow's deactivation code to open her chamber (or simply by shooting through the chamber door with the laser rifle), exposing Zhao and rendering her vulnerable.
