so we hear a lot about the cloud Arc but what is the cloud Arc and how does it work and
all that well sadly Rohan does a terrible job at explaining it in the campaign
we first and foremost need to protect the cloud Arc Rohan I think we're still a little
fuzzy here what exactly is the cloud Arc it's our City's Network our infrastructure a people
our defenses everything depends on it and what we're doing now is stopping the Vex from
siphoning energy from the cloud arcs reactor we do that the veil's safe the Neo Mooney
are safe bang bang boom starter readers on Rohan make your way to the cloud Arc Reactor
we'll head to the central power Junction once you've cycle the system we'll be able to return
power to the reactor we're on it so the cloud Arc is basically everything yeah that really
does clear it up doesn't it but it's not impossible to glean some truth from all of this today
we're going to be talking about the cloud Arc and in particular we're going to look
at the experience of what it's like inside the cloud Arc and thankfully the law from
the citizens of neomuna is a lot more helpful than everything that we're hearing out of
Rohan as far as explaining that is concerned okay so I'm sure that some of you have at
least a vague grasp before the cloud Arc is but let's go ahead and explain it from the
top the cloud Arc is based off of the power of the Veil The Veil is integrated into the
cloud Arc and as a result the systems of the cloud Arc architecture are described as organic
as opposed to digital by the citizens of nyamuna this means that they're very different from
a normal computer and are probably a whole lot more sophisticated Advanced and uh well
capable of some interesting things if they are linked to the veil and if everything to
do with the veil and psychic thought is correct the cloud dark itself is described in the
last day's law book as a digital space in which the citizens of Neo munichin safely
exist access to the cloud Arc is achieved through linking to it using a pod of sorts
or in some instances just a chair with a lot of electronics this is explained a little
better by the first and third entries of the last day's law book the first entry is not
what I'm going to read because it's actually something which is easier explained it's just
the perspective of a teacher who is describing how it works to a classroom of children whenever
the citizens Retreat on mass into these larger pods it's one of these moments at which you
will see them suddenly all venturing into stasis PODS of sorts that manage all their
waste and provide appropriate nutrition Etc and it just means they can inhabit the cloud
Arc for longer so yeah citizens of newamuna can inhabit the cloud Arc for a far longer
time however the third entry of the last day's law book tells us a little bit more about
how the individual experiences of citizens within the cloud Arc can be kind of customized
the description is a little bit metaverse in the sense that people can select avatars
to represent themselves within digital spaces and God I hope this is not as cursed as Mark
Zuckerberg's rendition of the whole thing uh we we have enough Grim dark nonsense within
the world the third entry is worth reading to give a better idea of this and that entry
reads as follows uh I warn you by the way it's got one of the greatest starts to a lore
entry that I've ever read [Music] found his tits Tino Cali snorted in disgust the virtual
briefing room was just as drab as their physical one had been and by Design and it had heightened
the outlandishness of his Avatar Choice I'm not going to talk to you if you're going to
be a mandala it gives me a headache this is the future and you're not my supervisor she
waved him off and turned back to the schedule with the other med techs how do they expect
us to receive this many people in one shift Tamiya pulled a copy of the schedule file
and integrated it into her arm half the staff were already taking advantage of the transience
of virtual tattoos to keep important notes accessible Tino perked up at the chance to
gossip you didn't hear over on Wake side they had an anaphylaxis event last shift some chucklehead
forgot to tell them about his shellfish allergy but the Newcastle spin Inhibitors are oyster
derived exactly Miku confirmed ravatar hung slack they pumped him full of deep sleep and
he puffed up like a Fugu puked everywhere glad I was only there on drone Duty because
the smell must have been a nightmare Tino brought up the video feed why do people think
we even ask all these questions that's enough John settled into a virtual chair at the briefing
table the supervisors called glare survived Cloud Arc transition unaffected people are
scared and they forget things it's part of Being Human do your jobs like professionals
but we were already behind Chief and then people like this slow it down for everyone
else I get the frustration to Mia Jean pulled the schedule apart into their respective assignments
but we're medical technicians we have a stability they need you wear your empathy first good
cool Chief Tino piped up speaking of Tino you can be math on your own time but while
we have 5 million scared patients looking for reassurance keep your damn face on [Music]
so one can dramatically alter one's own experience within the cloud Arc this is something that's
visible not just from Tino wearing the mandala which is a symmetrical pattern of sorts that
you can find as an avatar for his face but also you can see it by the note taking that
people were doing by creating transient virtual tattoos truly customizable avatars in this
sense mean that a digital world is I mean that's a lot more liberating in a certain
sense because you could just get rid of that stuff whenever you want it and change as you
needed to but there's more to it than that it doesn't just stop there there are layers
to all of this and they're not immediately perceptible yeah of course you can exist in
a digital world and you can change how you look as a result The Experience goes even
deeper than that and that is adequately displayed when you dive deeper into the cloud Arc systems
themselves and that is something that has been done extensively by a user who goes by
the name Photon I say user by the name of photon because this person clearly exists
so deep within the cloud arc on a regular basis to the point where it is more representative
of their reality than the outside world this might seem disturbing first but the cloud
Arc isn't your typical computer system I think within the cloud Arc it's clear that it isn't
just a digital footprint in front of you that you are seeing and not truly interacting with
whole worlds can be built and even felt within the cloud Arc and there's a strange degree
of Liberation that isn't accessible from the outside photon's experience of the cloud Arc
is one that is truly anything they choose for it to be and I think it gives us the best
Insight yet into what it's like to be linked into the cloud Arc especially in those deeper
layers which are probably even more deeply integrated into the veil take a listen to
the last entry of the last day's law book from photon's perspective
filaments of data stretched across Infinity reality interwoven into silken threads Photon
drifted lazily mingling the data that defined objective existence with subjective perspective
reality frayed in the Deep Cloud Arc and took down the border between self and code with
it file requests felt like ants on her skin and now with lockdown she could stay here
whenever she wanted without any of the messy needs of material reality no bio breaks or
excusing herself from dinner invites she stretched and composed herself turning her perception
back toward the shallows where data Shadow is cast the impression of streets and buildings
in a familiar landscape the Norms stuck to it like a bad faith but it's also where the
games lived she opened her command prompt selected an avatar and gender for the day
and turned sideways back to the streets and plazas of the shallow Cloud Ark more shallow
than ever he realized Recreations of storefronts furniture and plants from the material world
intruded spacing out the avant-garde designs created by dedicated arkheads the city council
rezoned much of the Main Avenue to make the transition easier but what was the point of
a new frontier if you brought the old world with you oh dear no that's not right the sound
of barely restrained Panic came from a short Avatar nearby mostly human saved for a hideous
skewed left brow and cheekbone hey no bothers want an assist Photon approached the confused
visitor the Distortion looked painful I don't know what I did and I I can't fix it all right
deep settles will Pat you up he didn't look like he understood but his simulated breathing
Founders who still breathed slowed Photon opened up the man's Avatar settings and studied
no care how you managed but you unlocked your Advanced Avatar settings can you fix it not
even a grind guilty you Reloaded The Newcomer's last auto save and the Avatar reverted to
a standard human appearance crunch some time before you use this menu but if it happens
again just push here uh thanks get guilty all green Photon said good to remember we
all start somewhere Photon perhaps shows us that living in the cloud Arc is a little bit
like living in a nested copy of reality but a reality that we're free to control and morph
as we please needless to say this is seemingly only possible with the power of the veil it's
something which was remarked by Blue Jay this idea that there are whole worlds within the
veil and that it will be able to open the way for us of course this is to say nothing
of true existence within the cloud Arc maybe this is the point at which it's accurate to
state that yes Rohan was right when he said it is everything if you can do and be whatever
you want within the cloud Arc then well maybe it's understandable why Rohan said that it
was everything including infrastructure and people but that's all from me for today if
