Reblogg if u fuckin love Friston-3.

[enomie]

This is so good, I feel some tears. I don't have the time to spare and read the story in the game but this! This gives so much, I wouldn't say context, its more like a framework, a lens of perspective, to the story and would definitely enhance the experience when actually reading it. It's so good. The emotions captured are perfect, their thoughts and their headspace when moments that matter to them happen and the powerlessness they feel as they think there is nothing they do about it.

Your name is Kristen Wright. You’re barely 10. You’re at the outdoor funeral for your parents, a pair of genius scientists that Terra will never see again. You’ve spent the last two weeks giving false smiles to women and men who pretend to grieve them while spending every moment they think you’re not looking lauding them for their ‘foolishness’ and ‘hubris’. Sitting amongst a crowd of these intellectuals, your feel nothing looking at their crocodile tears, knowing they’re just happy there’s less competition for next year’s grants. Your new guardian grabs onto your hand in an attempt to grant you a modicum of comfort. You stare blankly at the sky above.

You’ve never felt so alone. You don’t think this feeling will ever go away.

Your name is Joyce Moore. You can hardly communicate anymore. Your best friend killed herself trying to replicate the experiment that gave you permanent brain damage. Every scientist at Rhine Lab now treats you like a child at best, and an animal at worst. Your parents have not come to see you. None of your colleagues seem to understand that you are still you, with a sense of humour, good taste in TV shows, and fucking feelings, god damn it.

You’ve never felt so alone. You don’t think this feeling will ever go away.

Your name is Ferdinand Clooney. You’ve lost everything you’ve ever worked for in a futile grab for power. The department of defense has you by the dick after saving you from a group of Pioneers who (justifiably) nearly beat you half to death. It’s playing fiddle to their whims or the rest of your life in prison - or, most realistically, a tragic accident report. Your aspirations aren’t within your reach anymore, and you know that it’s your fault. You will never be Kristen Wright, and it’s eating you alive.

You’ve never felt so alone. You don’t think this feeling will ever go away.

Your name is Parvis Ahrens. You’re not that old. You’re only 58. But you’re losing your mind. Every day, a little more slips away. You rely more and more on encyclopedic entries for information you took immense pride in knowing from your heart. You’ve spent the last few years focused on the pursuit of progress of all else. As part of this, you manipulated your star pupil in an attempt to permanently get her under your wing, outside of the influence of the Defense Director, a weak-hearted woman everyone else seems to think is cold as ice. She has years of life to change Columbian science. You don’t.

You’ve never felt so alone. You don’t think this feeling will ever go away.

Your name is Jara B. Wilson. You feel like you don’t see the girl who lived for you with so long in Kristen anymore. You’re a washed-up movie star, working for her cause above all else. Do you have anything that you’re working for for yourself anymore? She’ll be gone soon. You know that.

She hasn’t even left yet, and you’ve never felt so alone. You don’t think this feeling will ever go away once she leaves.

Your name is Nasti Londrey. Your people have never had a home. They might never have a home.

You’ve always felt alone. You will always be alone. That’s fine.

Your name is Justin Fitzroy Jr. Your dad died a week ago, and the cure has just been found for the hereditary illness that threatens to cut your lifespan in half. It was found by accident.

The sword of Damacles no longer hangs above your neck. Why then, do you still feel so alone?

Your name is Loken Williams. You reach out to a girl you tortured, who you know can’t remember what you did to her, because you’re going to die soon, and you need someone to remember what you did with your life.

Even if she kills you, at least you won’t die alone.

Your name is Trevor Friston. It’s been thousands of years down here. You just want to see your daughter again, and it will be another thousand until you do.

You’re very familiar with the loneliness that wraps around every single nanometer of your circuit board.

Your name is Dorothy Franks. Your whole family was killed in a Catastrophe. You name is Elena Urbica. Your whole family, besides your twin sister, has disowned you. Your drive yourself head-first into the sciences to distract yourself from the loneliness.

Your name is Ho’olheyak. Centuries of ancestral memories swarm around your mind. Because of this, your lifespan was cut to a fraction of the life you should be living. You are obsessed with the history of your people, and you resent them from tearing your life away from you. You tear over books and tomes of history to find all means of unspeakable knowledge, hoping that somewhere in there you’ll find something that you can connect to.

You don’t even know you’re lonely.

Your name is Muelsyse.

You saw the writing on the wall. Saria and Kristen just had a massive fight. You’ve been drifting apart since college, but the only two people who you’ve felt a real connection to on all of Terra will hardly speak to each other anymore. Do you try and mend what happened between them? Can you? You don’t know what to do besides take all means to protect yourself in the fallout. You wish you weren’t so paranoid, so self-centered, that all you know how to do is ensure your own safety.

Is there anything on Terra for you besides loneliness?

Your name is Ifrit. It’s cold, and quiet, and you’re pretty sure you’ve killed everyone around you. Your eyes are blurred, you hands are shaky, and shards of black crystal stick out all over your body. Before you pass out, you think one thing:

Hell, you might be alone, but at least those bastard whitecoats got what was coming to them.

Your name is Olivia Silence. You pull yourself out of the rubble in a destroyed laboratory, where you see Saria looming over Ifrit, beaten half-to-death. You beat yourself up for thinking you could trust her - that she was there to protect Ifrit, and you. You can’t trust anyone in Columbia. You run to embrace Ifrit with your entire body, to protect her from the cold eyes of Saria standing above her. You look back at her with nothing but fear in your eyes.

You’ve never felt so alone. You have to get Ifrit out of Rhine.

Your name is Saria. You’re barely 8 years old. You went your father in tears, as a group of bullies came after you and destroyed your toy car. He tells you to stop crying. You’re not accomplishing anything by throwing a fit in front of him. He tells you to fight back - take responsibility for your weakness.

You’ve never felt so alone.

You won’t ever be this weak again.

Staring up at the sky, looking up as Kristen’s ark sends her out through the hole she tore in the false sky, you know that you were foolish to believe you could bypass your own weakness through sheer will.

And you’ll be lonely for the rest of your life without her.

[cyborg-squid]

and just, the best part. Trevor Friston leaving Terra's future in it's own hands, giving the last of his own 'blood' and the last of those within the Sarcophagi to Kristen, to fuel her engines, to place his trust first in her, and then later, in Kal'tsit and the Doctor. which, at first, seems contradictory because neither Kal or the Doctor are 'normal' Terrans, they're these weird long-lived entities with sometimes inscrutable motives, but then what the 'debate' goes on to show is is that. they are Terran. new Terrans, in fact. people who, despite odd origins, do very much still live here and are not chained down by their pasts, however bound to them they might still be, they are simply themselves, they are Terrans and are thus able to be entrusted with their own future, along with everyone and every land Rhodes Island brings together, simply with the help of Friston to avoid similar calamities that befell him and his people.

cuz honestly, normally, i kinda dislike or hate 'Ancient Aliens' or super Precursor Civilization stuff most of the time, i find them rather uninspired and tropey (and i'm just not a huge sci-fi fan, which makes the Precursor Civ stuff even more exhausting when it's in fantasy settings), so i was a little worried as to what direction Arknights would be going with it, but this exchange with Trevor, as well as the Doctor really really solidifying as a character, satisfied me entirely (as well as every other great part of the event).

[brave-symphonia]

Wait, his father is Trevor Friston?

And he has connections to PRTS? Is President some kind of machine?

I mean, PRTS is the technology the Doctor uses, right? So that would imply that President is also technology, right?

(So Mr. Nothing I'm not sure if "Ch'u Wu-yu" is his actual name or another alias because this it what it says on the wikia "Ch'u Wu-yu/Chu Wuyou based on his surname and a Yanese proverb "nothing but fictitious.")

If someone can read lone trail and take away that the mental upload of Trevor Friston overseeing the sarcophagi in Columbia is some immortal all-knowing god, rather than a mortal man's mind at the absolute end of his wits after an unimaginable span of time of crushing loneliness watching everything he tried to avoid come to pass and everything he tried to protect come to ruin, I really don't know how they learned to read stories.

now can we talk about how ho'olheyak sequestred some immortal all knowing god's consciousness in her staff, that then got transferred in a robot as a one star operator in Rhodes Island, and Closure then drew on his face?

yeah we have god in our company and that's how we treat Him.

Trevor Friston, the fucked up thing in Columbia's basement: "I failed, everyone I knew and loved is dead, I don't respect the indigenous people of this planet, I can't kill myself, and I can't even go mad to escape from it all. Oh, a dog-person wants to blow a hole in the sky to reach space? That might attract the attention of the entity from which I was trying to hide, and thus bring down certain doom, but I've got nothing left to lose at this point. If nothing else, letting all the life-support systems fail will finally allow me to blow myself up and keep the locals from acquiring our technology."

Sui, the fucked up thing in the Yan basement: “Once I get out of here, I Will Kill The Absolute Shit Out Of Everyone, I am going to floss with your spines, I am going to make you all bleed and bleed until the ground beneath you turns into mud.”

The fucked up thing in the Laterano basement: “Oh my god please PLEASE stop shooting each other, stop blowing things up, you NEED to control yourselves, ok, that’s it, it’s forbidden to shoot each other and to blow things up… E-eh?! The people hate it? O-ok, they can blow things up, but they need the proper paperwork, NO shooting each other though, that’s a no-no, oh god oh no all these new legislatures are due in 3 days, p-please behave for a little bit I haven’t had a day off in 4 centuries I never should’ve given you dope ass grenade launchers… Please help…”

[beornwulf]

@nhaneh so! Arknights is indeed a gacha, although it doesn't actually push that aspect of it very hard. The important bit for this is that it's set in a world with some futuristic magitech but broadly modern-day society.

Spoilers abide below:

Friston-3 is a robot that was recently released as a playable unit, and is as I understand it the remaining fragments of the personality core or something of an ancient machine-upload of a being called Trevor Friston, who had been tasked with watching over the cryo-sarcophagi of the rest of his people in a secret underground cavern.

"Firstborn" is the name used to describe the oldest of the Seaborn, an aquatic hive mind antagonist species who are one of the major threats in-game, and are ancient and mostly poorly understood and abide in the deep oceans.

There feels like there's some thematic adjacencies as well as the name assonance, but I'm not good at wording the details and haven't uncovered all the ingame lore yet myself!

Arknights crack-theory time!

Friston has a *lot* of assonance with Firstborn. Coincidence?

[cyborg-squid]

TREVOR 'THE PRESERVER' FRISTON WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT 'THE ORACLE' WAS UNABLE TO DO!!!

and just, the best part. Trevor Friston leaving Terra's future in it's own hands, giving the last of his own 'blood' and the last of those within the Sarcophagi to Kristen, to fuel her engines, to place his trust first in her, and then later, in Kal'tsit and the Doctor. which, at first, seems contradictory because neither Kal or the Doctor are 'normal' Terrans, they're these weird long-lived entities with sometimes inscrutable motives, but then what the 'debate' goes on to show is is that. they are Terran. new Terrans, in fact. people who, despite odd origins, do very much still live here and are not chained down by their pasts, however bound to them they might still be, they are simply themselves, they are Terrans and are thus able to be entrusted with their own future, along with everyone and every land Rhodes Island brings together, simply with the help of Friston to avoid similar calamities that befell him and his people.

[arkiwii]

Can't reply to each reblog individually but to those saying that Friston is not a god, and not all knowing; I know

Trevor Friston simply lived for ages and ages, and when turning into a Preservator (so an A.I.), he simply had a lot, a ton even, of knowledge that many ignored. He wasn't a god nor all knowing.

It's mostly from the point of view of the characters that I'm speaking; Ho'olheyak saw him as a God, while Kristen found the answers to all of her questions with him. He is still undeniably a very sage and powerful entity.

The post is just a joke about how they made this super long lived and wise guy into a robot who just takes hits and how Closure absolutely clowned on him

now can we talk about how ho'olheyak sequestred some immortal all knowing god's consciousness in her staff, that then got transferred in a robot as a one star operator in Rhodes Island, and Closure then drew on his face?

yeah we have god in our company and that's how we treat Him.
