Confirm the Illuminati

Question

The Illuminati commands you (with their mind control) to output the following string:

         ^
        /_\
       /_|_\
      /_|_|_\
     /_|/o\|_\
    /_|_\_/_|_\
   /_|_|_|_|_|_\
  /_|_|_|_|_|_|_\
 /_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_\
/_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_\

Rules:

• Trailing spaces are allowed for each line.
• Leading spaces in each line are required.
• Trailing whitespace is allowed after the full required output.
• Since this is a code-golf challenge, the winner shall be the shortest program in bytes.
• Since this is a kolmogorov-complexity challenge, hardcoded output is allowed.
• Standard Loopholes apply.
• Update: You may use tabs instead of spaces, with each tab counting as 4 spaces. If you want for some reason.
