TEXT ANALYSIS: "my lonesome update for mid October"

Post by tiltingwindward »

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.

TACH'S TRUE VOICE:

I've been out of touch.

I had hoped.

I learned my lesson:
Maintaining order is very time consuming. It keeps
you on your toes.


Even though things have unfolded in a
rather unpredictable way.

And it is taking A LOT longer than I
thought it would take.

I've thought it over a lot.
My only explanation?
I haven't fully embraced my situation.


It just seems like such a long
time has passed!
Didn't we originally think that the
curtain would have fallen by
mid-October?

I now have this sinking suspicion
that

I worry about how insignificant. I'm not
sure how much.
I think

which I appreciate!

For instance,
to television recently than I
suspected

At least that bodes well for the
chance I'll be able to watch the
World Series on TV!

But there were events I'd hoped to
actually attend earlier this month.
Television is a good distraction.
That "Grief Counseling" episode of
The Office? Good stuff.

But still, it's not what I had hoped
to watch that night.

I was surprised thought: The things
I missed were actually
videotaped...
Someone else with a similar interest posted a video onto the
internet.

The quality was poor,.
I wasn't sure what to make of it, actually.

It was a bit of a letdown!
Even though I probably built it up way too much in my head.

Now I am thinking that maybe it
wasn't what I had predicted.
Since it's the internet, the video could've easily been a
staged hoax of some sort.

In fact, maybe that event has yet
to take place?
I don't know what to think from
what

Because strangely, little has
changed. Maybe it's just that my
day to day is pretty much the
same, but there was no major shift
from my perspective.

I really thought i would have
a different viewpoint on things.
But it's all just the same.



and I am not even sure if


I find it dull, but at least i am not being scrutinized much.

I still do not see the clear
connections.


Please tell Mom and Dad that I am
sorry for not calling.


That's one of the main
reasons why
(and I sincerely apologize)

But I hope you're still
watching for these.
Even though
that I haven't written as often as
I had promised to.

That cell phone was the only
place that
Yours as well.


no one here has given me any indication that they found it.

I'm 99% certain that everything on
there is secure.
But I apologize if you've gotten any strange phone calls as a
result.

If that happens, please find a way
to let me know, okay?
Like, immediately!

I'm sure there's no need to worry.
In the event of the worst-case scenario, I am sure

I miss you all!
With any luck, I will see you sooner rather than
later!

XOXO,
T

now that I reread the cell phone thing... it makes me think the Order would almost definitely have tried calling the numbers in the phonebook if they looked suspicious... hence the "weird phone calls" warning. Think maybe she was telling her organization not to answer calls from her call, lest they be traced? She HAD to know something might happen...

just my thoughts; many of you prolly already thought of this.
Hey... I GOT IT! Oh... wait... never mind.

Yes, i've been busy.

i've been so busy trying to keep up
with the order in my life.
i haven't been able to do everything

With any luck, i might be closer to
accomplishing my goals.

i am having a hard time working in these surroundings...
...even after all this time.


Not as much as i should have.

i'll be here a few more weeks.
Maybe even until the end of the year.

i feel in the order of things

value i have
i am well-linked by some.
And i am being given privileges

i've had more access
i would.

Unfortunately, i was unable to.

but it made
up for the access i lacked

i have seen in the time
since...

i am living the same life i have
been.
i would have
a different viewpoint on things.

Except i have had my computer
access limited in recent weeks.
Severely limited.

It seems other operations are
given priority over what i am
working on,

i can see what those are exactly.

i am not allowed to participate in the operations of interest, only smaller projects.

i can't see the full picture yet.

i lost my cell phone, and it had their phone number on it.

i haven't been
able to check in with you all.

i've been so busy

i had their
number, actually.


i am not quite sure where i lost it.


i will figure
something out!

Good interp! I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds quite plausible.
