We don't know that Maya and company created exos themselves. It was during that time but we don't know if that was part of Maya's project or not. And no, they didn't make themselves exos.
What you are remembering is Vex 4, where the 4 scientist are using remote controlled mechanical frames while their bodies and minds are safely back at the academy behind a warmind firewall (think like the movie avatar) That is considered by many to be the exo precursor technology, but not exos
Both Maya and Chioma are involved in that. And Chioma isn't dead. After Venus, Chioma and Maya went to work on other projects and have been apart a long time.

[quote]And Chioma isn't dead.[/quote] To be fair, you don't know that. All we know for sure is that Maya thinks she's still alive, (and writing to her frequently,) at the point at which she decides she's resigning and leaving Lhasa. After that, all bets are open until we get more content. It's just as likely Hyperion was flattened in the collapse.

I guess I should have clarified, she wasn't dead at the time Maya entered the device. Maya said Chioma was writing her every week. After that, we don't know. And it's hard to say how much time lapses between Maya's last entry and the collapse.

Exactly.
