Threads of Benevolence

Threads' Puppet.

## Overview

Threads of Benevolence is a Generation 3 iterator, possessing no seniority and is distanced from the Main Group. Reminiscent and isolated, Threads has been trying to extend her control and repair/reactivate her facility grounds to gain more knowledge on the past, as well as a way to bypass the taboo that prevents usage of Ancient genes. She has directly created The Collector, along with other unique purposed organisms that manage the mining site and auxiliary generators her can is situated upon.

## Personality

Threads is almost always reserved about saying too much regarding her projects, worrying they will cause distress among other iterators. However, she is caring towards those she sees fit, and has great care for her creations and the creations of others. This does not get in the way of her desire to bring some sense of normalcy back, however, as she wishes for her previous residents to return, and will do anything in her power to do so.

## History and Goals

Unlike the lavish living conditions of many cans, Threads of Benevolence housed many of the less fortunate Ancients that worked tirelessly in the quarries below to provide resources for the construction and maintenance of other cans. This often left the young in her care, giving her a sense of connection between herself and her residents. Being so close to the members of her Councils, as well as with her average citizens, lead her to the conclusion that not all that were part of the Cycle wanted to leave it. No matter the individual feelings, however, it did not stop them from reluctantly following the rest in the Global Ascension. Left isolated and alone, she left her communications arrays untouched for thousands of cycles.

During this time, she developed new purposed organisms to help with the repairs and reactivations of her systems that were put in place during the Ascension, becoming especially fond of the various creatures that had made lives for themselves in the darkness of the quarries. Occasional monitoring of local comms made her aware of the Slugcat, a highly task-capable creature for various environments. Pairing this with the unique abilities of the spiders beneath her, she created The Collector for the purpose of scrounging her facility grounds for information pearls or resources left behind, along with managing a few of the systems she was unable to control from her can.

While some of the repairs, like reactivation of the local tram system, were made to make resource transport and reception easier, she has also been working on clearing the overgrowth of her farm arrays and bringing her city back to habitable standards for Ancients to live in. However, she has been unsuccessful at bypassing the Ancient's genetics taboo, making her unable to bring back Ancients in any meaningful way. Her methods have become increasingly desperate, taking in more and more water, and sending her Collector on longer distance travels to "borrow" potentially useful information from nearby iterators. The Main Group are unaware of her current affairs.

### Relations with the Main Group

While she has established friendly contact with some of its members, she holds those that damage themselves in attempts to cope in contempt, seeing it as irresponsible with what they could be capable of. She tries her best to console those with issues, however, as she doesn't want them in the same state she was herself. Her work has distracted her from many of the events, and she is afraid of giving away too much about her plans.

Because of this distrust, she has been developing weapons and combat purposed organisms in secret, though she currently doesn't plan on using any of them.

I have made some progress from the pearls I have gathered so far but its simply not enough. Perhaps there are other iterators with this information? But it's too risky to just ask for this kind of...

Nothing I don't authorize will be able to come in when I activate these things. And if they do, there are more of my defenses waiting for them. I will not meet my fate at the hands of another iterator.

well this is gonna be a pain to set up again / yam
