|
|
Nilla, Sophia, myself and others (whom I'd give credit to if I could remember who you all were) have been working on analyzing the text of Tachyon's videos. We separated the phrases using I and those using i into two separate dialogues, and linked the phrases together. What we discovered is pretty interesting, but some work still needs to be done, because the dialogues don't make complete sense as they are now. That's where you all come in!
We're pretty sure that the i's are Tach in her Order persona, while the I's are Tach's trueself. I'll be posting the I transcripts first, then the i transcripts. I think it's the I transcript we need to concentrate on.
Note: the italicized bits are the ones that didn't seem to fit into either category, just based on proximity to I/i's. _________________ "A step in the right direction? It only turns out to be so if you're willing to step much further."

TACH'S TRUE VOICE:
so I haven't updated this in awhile
and I removed all of my old videos.
it's nice to have fallen into a gig
that'll keep me nested in a somewhat familiar habitat...
...but I fear that is just an illusion.
at least I keep telling myself that.
thankfully, the weather is nice.
plenty of nature to expore. every
week I learn about new places to
go hiking or swimming...
...if and I hope to have the energy
left to actually prioritize that!
(double optimism)
all summer, the momentum of my
day-to-day demands has kept me
feeling like I am trapped in a state
of exhausted motion
[irony noted]
I should find all of this,
...and my inner self has a fierce
determination to be able to watch
the World Series this year.
right now, nothing sounds better
than an actual game. I could use an
excuse to try out some obscene
gestures
but given that I was so
overwhelmed with busy work
yesterday
I am going to try and keep my
expectations realistic. Believe me,
I know that the closest
I am glad at least that I found the
time to write a little tonight.
I've had a long day,
make it happen I would]
but I'd love it if the Dodgers and the
Angels faced off next month.
but given my track record as of
late
[I most sincerely hope I'm due]
xoxox,

(long story, but i learned my lesson)
it's nice to have fallen into a gig
that'll keep me nested in a somewhat familiar habitat...
but how long can i keep observing
an illusion as real before my mind
accepts it as reality?
thankfully, the weather is nice.
plenty of nature to expore. every
week
...if and when i get that rare free
moment,
(double optimism)
all summer, the momentum of my
day-to-day demands has kept me
feeling like
[irony noted]
at least it's helping me ignore just
how surreal
and i am ignoring it quite well.
i am trying to approach it as my
ability to keep up with these
demands directly reflects qualities
of my inner self...
...and my inner self has a fierce
determination to be able to watch
the World Series this year.
right now, nothing sounds better
than an actual game. i've acquired
but given that that i had to be reminded
that it was already the Fall Equinox...
i may get is
watching it on live TV.
i should remind myself to do it
more often.
so i'm off to let
my mind focus on a fantasy that
actually might show even greater
optimism on my part...
[and believe me, if i could help
but given my track record as of
late, i haven't been so hot with
most of my predictions.
xoxox,

"t's nice to have fallen into a gig

This phrase makes me think of a bird every time I read it. |

Another thought that I forgot to add above:
There are places in the TACH AS ORDER where Tach appears to be telling the Order things that could be construed as secrets. I wonder if this isn't Tach telling her associates that she's spreading misinformation so that if anyone from the Order is spying on Tach, they think she's harmless. For example, Tach talks about having lost her phone, and therefore all her contact information--but she talks about this in the small i, her Order persona. So perhaps Tach bemoaning the loss of the cell phone is her telling the "you" of the videos that she's convinced the Order that she has no way to contact anyone outside?
Or maybe not. I don't know. _________________ "A step in the right direction? It only turns out to be so if you're willing to step much further."

So are we thinking that she is communicating through her inner self, or what? I'm not quite following.
But some things stuck out to me. These (partial) sentences.
i keep observing
i am trying to approach
i've acquired
Seems like a message that she is telling someone that at first, she was just watching what was going on. Then she is trying to get on with her business, and finally, she has what she needs. _________________ Proud member of "The Collective"

There's a lot of references to LG15 vids:swimming, hiking, habitat (From the bree/danielbeast vid), peace offering, etc. I hope this has already been noticed, but I just want to point it again anyway. |

Also, the parts about her finding new spots to swim and hike. At this moment I don't think we know where Tachyon is and if the time came when we would need to find her, I think these spots (wherever they are) might be a good jumping off point. _________________ Proud member of "The Collective"

Also on Op's profile it says:
Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.
Which is pretty much the advice Bree gave to Daniel about investigating the order |

There is something about Tachyon's voice that sounds like Bree. The thing about her "when her inner voice wants something" is like Bree's comments about swimming. |
