If i end up being right about the quarry btw you will all be hearing the worlds longest yeah boi
The thing about the control timeline that's also very interesting is the blackrock quarry. It comes along at a very ambiguous time thats not clear in the documents you get. We know it wasn't there under Northmoor's administration but it also is there after Trench takes his place. There's a lot that's left rather unclear about the transition between Trench and Northmoor that is interesting to think about if you consider the circumstances.
Northmoor embodied everything that Trench was terrified of the job doing to people. From his dialogue we know that Northmoor was a power hungry maniac, but also went into the NSC willingly to some degree. He agreed to resign, Trench says. But after his very clear disdain for Northmoor do you actually believe he's being completely truthful? Is it not possible he had his own skewed view of him that made him less empathetic to whatever it was that happened to him? Logically you cannot let a guy as powerful as Northmoor run around freely on the chance he wants to tear the world apart as AWE's often threaten to do. And where else has his solution to locking things deep away, hidden from memory ever happened? Just like they did with Dylan, they locked him away in the most convenient location and forgot about him, 'cleaning house' of anyone who did remember the former director. Ash is gone by that point so it's far easier without him contesting locking a man away alone for decades.
but that gets back to the black rock quarry. It appears around the time the first NSC is translocated, into a place filled with Rock that nullifies altered objects. It's a space like threshhold, it's probably very cold. Why would the NSC-01 translocate itself there? It would take a lot of power to move that reactor, and to a place filled with Black Rock which could nullify his hellish torment. The perfect place for him to be finally freed, it is the solution to what the board did to him. He made a solution for himself, found it after being locked in there for a year or more.
But he isn't freed. Instead, he's placed back into the NSC. By Trench. Not only is he put back in there, but it's no doubt reinforced and he's chained up. They know he can still access his power and so they had to do something to stop him, using the Black Rock he took manifested to do it. It's ironic, and points to the fact that he didn't go into that reactor willingly. Not that second time. Trench talks about him in a mocking tone and it's one of the few times he's not stoic. He's cracking jokes at the former Director. Why would you ever believe anything he has to say about him? when he's the only source besides a memo or two that points to him being a hardass boss. Ash put put up with him for decades and even created the Ash Act, which talks about treating people who happen to be parautilitarians and other beings with the respect they deserve. And when Ash is gone, they lock him away, alone. In the dark. Chained up while Trench makes puns about him keeping the lights on.
The Quarry threshold is far more bleak when you put these facts together. Chained up on his knees by the very solution he manifested to help himself with.
remember when I actually could write thinkpiece metas
Not to be a Trench did nothing wrong on main guy (taps the URL) but every time I think about him he gets more tragic. Here's a guy who served a secret organization he can't even tell his family about so dutifully. He does an extremely thankless job, and what does it do? He loses his own daughter and has to shoulder the burden of the question of could he have saved her if he had brought her in. And if it was even his fault to begin with. It wrecks his home life, he loses his wife. he falls deeper into the job because it's all he has. He will never fail anyone else again. He takes a hands off approach with Dylan because he failed his daughter, he can't have that happen again.
Whether you believe Northmoor went into the NSC willingly (I'm not sure its that simple), he had to watch that happen. What the job did to him, how the Board seemingly didn't step in. And then he has to step into his place. His quote being that he won't fail anyone but himself is endlessly fascinating, it tells you all you need to know about him. Everything has been his fault, he shoulders the burden, and so he won't let it happen again. So when he brings back the Hiss and his only friend he has left tells him nothing is wrong, that had to be devastating. The only person left who he trusted to help can't help him.
The other thing I find very interesting is that he didn't fall victim to the Hiss immediately. All other bureau employees seem to turn into drastic abominations fairly quickly, while he is battling it for years. His resolve was so strong that he fought and suffered that losing battle all on his own. in his own head. He receded into himself and became the caricature of the cruel director everyone expected, further driving Darling away. He lashed out at employees and grew paranoid, the Hiss distorting his paranoia from his experiences into him being unwilling to let anyone in. It is an interesting parallel that seemingly the board gives so much power and responsibility, yet do nothing for them. Happened to Northmoor, and it happened to Trench. it really solidifies the idea that they're not good or bad, but some third entity that has its own agenda. Maybe Ash figured that out and that's why he left the bureau and seemingly never returned.
the saddest part though is that after he releases the Hiss in the house he knows what he did. The Hiss did the worst thing it could have, it made him fail everyone. It was all his fault. And his moment of clarity made that clear to him, the last cruel thing they did to him. Culmination of all his mistakes in life. His final monologue in Control really puts all that together, making his death incredibly tragic.

The one thing men in the 1700s did right was have long hair they tie back into a low ponytail with a little ribbon and also have a few stray strands at the front. Almost everything else they did that century was inexcusable though
