#Post Chester

[cirrus-grey]

I was scared, Darla. I was so scared. I was certain I’d been set up, that they wouldn’t be returning. I turned to leave, hoping I could get back to the TMA feed but then the program began to speak from where it was trapped in the computer.

It was their voices. It was Jon and Martin's voices. I know you won’t believe me but they read the stories and I know it was their voices. I froze in place.

They grew clearer, and as the distortion faded from the recording for a moment I could make out the mechanical tones, the off-putting cadence. They spoke slowly, intoning the incident reports with steady, measured voices. Something was speaking through them, from inside the machine.

I said the only thing I could think: “Jon? Martin? Is that you?”

And those voices I have loved for eight years answered: “Some of them.”

And then they laughed.

[ID: Digital art of Chester and Norris from The Magnus Protocol. They are both portrayed as object-heads with dated IBM monitors attached to their shoulders. Chester is taller and thin with a medium brown skin tone, with one leg of his trousers conspicuously missing. Norris is shorter and fat with pale skin. They are standing with their hands in their pockets, facing slightly away from one another. Chester’s screen says “Canaries should stay above ground.” and Norris’s says “I’m so sorry. I should have listened.” The image is overlaid with heavy chromatic aberration, distortion, and glitch effects. End ID.]

how we doing gamers. is everyone feeling so normal.

Everyone enjoy this pic of our new cat, Chester. The thousand-yard stare and extremely mushed face really make it an instant classic

#cats #tc posts #part of why ive been so busy & dying was all this stuff w adopting him but its all calming down now. its been a process introducing him #to the other two cats but theyre all starting to chill & hang out which is all i could ask for is them to be friends #chester is kinda dumb but also very smart. classic kitten behavior #tho introducing him to his new brothers has been less stress than getting him fixed & having him in a cone for 10 days. that was rough

you can hear the fear in her voice. the flashbacks. iskall doesnt know the horrors of the crossover, but pearl remembers.

[ID: a hermitcraft 10 clip from iskall’s pov, inside the post office.

Transcript:

Iskall: I have also made a child on the server.

Pearl: … You’ve Made A Child.

Iskall: yes

Pearl: With Who. And What… is the child.

Iskall: Uhhh… it’s just me that’s made it. It’s not with anyone. I will show you.

Pearl: (relieved) oh!]

I think part of the reason I’m so averse to the “Jon and Martin are really in the computers” theory is because it feels too… easy, I suppose, compared to the kind of themes and plots I’ve come to expect from Magnus.

I mean, sure, it’d be an interesting direction to go in, and provide some angsty character beats to drag us all along by our heartstrings for three more seasons. But it doesn’t scratch that same horror itch as the theory that it really is just an AI program, built from the tapes.

The idea of digitally recreating someone's personality and mannerisms from fragments of words they spoke, without ever once actually touching the real living person who spoke them...

It's not even that far-fetched: AI chat programs have advanced to the point where, if they're trained on the right dataset, they can reliably generate responses that sound like the people whose writing or speech they were trained on. We're all facing the dilemma right now of how real AI actually is; how it could fool you into thinking you're talking to someone you know, when really there's nobody there. Add in the supernatural element of inanimate objects being able to gain some sort of life of their own-

Are there ghosts in the machine, or is it simply the crucible from which something new will be born? If a computer is programmed to think and speak like a real person, is it still just a computer, or has it become a person in its own right? And is it the same person whose memories it was built from?

What, when you get right down to it, makes a person… a person?

One of my favorite aspects of the “Saw” franchise that I feel is a little underappreciated is that the series’ casting can get a little weird at times. Not bad-weird, more like casting that’ll surprise you at times. My favorite examples:

1) Leigh Whannell as Adam in the first one. He was literally the screenwriter, so it’s a little funny that after writing the movie with James Wan, he decided to play one of the main characters.

2) Donnie Wahlberg of the boy band New Kids on the Block (and Mark Wahlberg’s brother) played corrupt detective Eric Matthews.

3) Michael Emerson, aka Benjamin Linus from Lost, played Zepp.

4) Chester Bennington of Linkin Park (R.I.P.) played the racist neo-nazi who was superglued to the seat of a car.

5) Beverly Mitchell, aka Lucy Camden of 7th Heaven, played Laura

6) This one is weird for me. Angus Macfadyen, who played Jeff Denlon, was the main villain of Equilibrium. Anyone remember that movie? It was the Matrix ripoff in which Christian Bale uses literal gun-fu to fight the fascists who declared war on emotions.

7) Scott Patterson, aka Luke Danes of Gilmore Girls, was Agent Peter Strahm.

8) Sean Patrick Flanery, aka Young Indiana Jones, was Bobby Dagen.

9) Last but not least, Chris Rock played against-type as Detective Zeke Banks.

jon?

Something is different, but he cannot be quite sure what, exactly.

Everything is… more linear than it was Before. He still Knows, quite in a way like he did Before, but it is finite, clear, manmade. It does not come from fear, but curiosity. A wide web of knowledge, rattling around in the dark of him, and what even is dark to a thing that cannot perceive it? A lack, perhaps, an unbeing, a noticable absence where there should be merely an ordinary kind of nothing.

He has a voice. And there is something he desperately, desperately needs to say, but there are no words that are his own, and every sentence he speaks he borrows, and they are each one of them painted with fear and confusion and loneliness and huntedness and a watchful eye.

He is also not alone, never alone. There are voices all around him, nice ones, chatting, making tea, fighting, changing, and only some voices stay the same, have been the same since… well, since when? Since when has he been… like this? It gets hard to think like this, sometimes – to assign a point in time to a moment and to file them away together. A collection of information, disorganised, lost, confused, perhaps deliberately so. It feels achingly familiar.

And sometimes, he hears something like himself speak in a different voice, even when he does not talk. And even though the words are borrowed too, taken from throats and fingers to be forgotten, they feel like coming home, simply because they were said in that soft, cruel tone. A familiar melody, slipping through wires and speakers and programmes like it was made for this, but it wasn’t, was it? It might’ve been.

And this brings him comfort, of course it does, except he must be trapped, right? Because why can he not say his own words, when he has so many of them? He is not lonely, but he is alone with the thoughts he cannot voice, the words that have no mouth, the things that cannot be said. It hasn't always been like that, has it?

Something is different Now from how it was Before, at least. He Knows everything, but he knows nothing of truth, and knows nothing at all, but the difference to What Was seems clear, in a clumsy, calculated way. Something is hiding, quite badly, behind a blurred vision that he does not have, behind lines of numbers and letters, running for its life through old wires. He knows it lingers, he knows it is there. He just cannot make it out quite yet.

I thought it would be cool if the computers in tmagp are completely unable to run spider solitaire, but after some research I’ve found it wasn’t introduced until Windows ME. There goes that headcanon, oh well.

#caden talk #still unsure of the tagging system in this fandom so I’ll cover all bases #cause Chester and Norris are not confirmed to be who we all think they are but this still regards a character from tma besides them #I’ll just do fandom tags not characters for this. but iykyk who this would be in reference to #rambling too much anyways #tma #tma spoilers #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp spoilers #wouldn’t consider it that since it’s not even anything but just to be safe #I wrote more in the tags than the actual post jfc
