Greetings and Salutations Tumblr. I am Null Grey Waters (Formerly Never grey Waters.) I am a Gen 4 Iterator. I care not for solving the great Problem anymore, no point in looking for a solution that i think is frankly moronic. my inbox is open as i wish to do something.
SOULS LEFT BEHIND
Fourth Generation Iterator
Nonbinary || They/them
Souls Left Behind was a fourth generation iterator, and the only one to be in Looks to the Moon's local group. While originally, they were meant to be the eldest sibling to four new Iterators, the Ancients would soon find that four new Iterators wasn't something within their capabilities- not only were fourth generation Iterators built when many of the Ancients has passed on to the Void Sea, but they found themselves with barely the resources they needed for one- and even then, they were short. Every Iterator around knew it was a bad idea... not that it stopped anyone.
It didn't stop the local group from loving the newest Iterator all the same.
Souls Left Behind was the youngest of the group, behind Five Pebbles and the last Iterator to be built in the area. It was by Moon's insistence to both the Ancients and her brother that he take them under his wing- no matter the complaints anyone had about Five Pebbles, after all, he was a highly intelligent and effective Iterator, as well as the closest to their newest member in technology. And though they found themself closest to Pebbles, it didn't mean they didn't love all the Iterators in their local group all the same, being closer to them than they were to the few citizens they had.
Unfortunately, it was not to last.
Cycles later, long after the last of the Ancients had left them, the local Iterator Group would receive a final, desperate broadcast, pleading for help. By the time the overseers arrived, however, as immediately after Souls Left Behind was unavailable to any of them, they found their youngest had suffered a total system shutdown, one they could not be brought back from.
To this day, no one knows what caused Souls Left Behind's sudden demise. Perhaps it was the no doubt fatal mistakes made in their construction, though they should have liven much longer regardless. Perhaps, like Sliver of Straw, Souls found the way out, despite a lack of the Triple Affirmative being sent out.
Whatever the case, everyone who loved them was left to mourn, and no amount of questions or investigation could give them the answers they wanted.
Meanwhile, cycles later... the Iterator would return to the cycle in a way no one expected.

NSG: I have seen several error signals coming from your structure. I know those appear regularly, but I am still worried, as your senior.
ICP: Bound to happen. There are some actual errors this time, which I am trying to figure out the source of.
NSG: Well that's a little unsettling.
ICP: From what I have, it's most likely caused by wildlife, as the ground is becoming harder to live on, and they may be digging dens in the struts.
NSG: Oh, those little gremlins. Most likely it will be fine. Do keep in mind that you have plenty of shelter spots in the structure which you previously shut. Open those, now's the right time.
