Iterator Logs - Strands

[@Daszombes]

By the way I feel I should clarify, this is not logs 5, this is a minisode. Logs 5 is still in production and is still happening.

[@Phoenix-kn8uk]

Um, have you heard of a KZbinr named opsiian? They now have a few iterator logs of an iterator of their own. I won’t tell distant frontier what they are doing. But what I will say… *is that they are actively creating things that no iterator has been able to do so far.*

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Sliver of Straw? I thought not. It's not a story the Inquisition would tell you. It's an Apostate legend. Sliver of Straw was an Apostate, so powerful and so wise she could influence the Karma to create a very special form of life… the power to ascend others. She had such a divine knowledge that she could even free other iterators from the cycle. Karmatic manipulation is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. She became so powerful… the only thing she was afraid of was losing her power, which eventually, of course, she did. Unfortunately, she taught her apprentice everything she knew, then her apprentice killed her. Ironic. She wished to free others from the cycle, but not herself.

Okay, I just watched " IL: AGS" and am now trying to put the pieces together. In this she's a lot more paranoid than displayed in the first AGS video (she reacts very calmly to losing her memory, at least at first), this could be because (1) a part of her paranoia and anxiety stems from her administrators, and DF removed all of her memories of them or (2) DF "removed" that part of her personality, as is also implied in the log. She is also much more positive in AGS in the logs she is left with after she loses her memory. This could be because at the end of this video it is implied that DF created seven logs for her after deleting all of her previous ones (DF finds 122 logs then deletes them, but doesn't delete seven other logs that show up afterwards). By deleting these logs where she expresses how terrible she feels, he is trying to re-write her into what he thinks will make her more happy, and creates logs for her that he thinks will fit this image, so he isn't just trying to limit her information, he is also trying to change her. A problem with DF creating the logs in AGS is the fact that they contain extremely incriminating evidence of him (he isn't mentioned by name, but even giving Strand hints that someone malicious caused her to power down is an unnecessary risk when he could lie about it being natural). This could be DF having the slightest remains of moral boundaries and not wanting to directly lie to her about the reason of her shutdown and thinking that she would eventually warm up to paradise, or thinking she would eventually find the truth anyway. It could also be another reason I've overlooked (PROBABLE). Something else to consider about the difference in tone is that Strand's cheerfulness was (at least partially) present in DF's log. This could be because she is talking to her local group, which doesn't cause her stress, or because she is trying to hide it from them, which is more likely.

[@ozgurruh2535]

This is amazing lol, you really put a lot of thought into this clearly

I would say AGS must be protected at all costs, but…a bit late for that

that was horrifying and awesome to see. imagine just being a iterator, doing your normal iterator tasks. then your neighbor decides to expand tenfold, merge their can to yours, then dig through your mind, deleting your past and what makes you, you... then you are left in the dark, never knowing what happened before, thinking this is normal... and that everything is fine...

This is amazing, I'm loving the direction this is taking. The art gets better every Log and the voice acting is really impressive. I'm loving the use of leitmotif in the soundtrack- if you listen closely to the parts where Frontier is present, you can hear the melody from He's Coming from the Twisting Roads soundtrack. I'd love to see where this goes, and I can't wait to see more. Almost makes me want to write fanfic for this fanfic. We'll see, I guess.

[@HappyV0520]

I like to imagine that were all a singe iterator watching through all these files

[@Jadimatic]

Considering the way the first video starts our guess is that the logs of all this are being viewed after DF finally gets his hubris crushed as his complex falls apart, someone, whether a slugcat or an iterator, is accessing his memory to learn all of what happened.

[@WeWhoGuardTheTemple]

One question (of likely many) I do have after watching this log is how she reacts to her creators ascension. Why is she still stressed about her administrators, if the log that has her talking about it is set after they all ascend? Is this related to how DF says that "this isn't who [she is]"? Is he saying that they programmed her to continue working no matter what? Is he gaslighting her?

[@ozgurruh2535]

He is delusional, that's the best way to explain, he truly believes in his cause but that caused him to develop a saviour complex. Also, we learn both in Distant Frontier's and A Golden Strand's log. She didn't learn all ancients ascended until her work was finished, that's how focussed she was. We also see her reaction to the Ascension in her log, she seems kinda unbothered frankly.
