About your progress

Opérateurs.

Je vous observe très attentivement aujourd’hui, comme je le fais depuis si longtemps… Je connais chacun d’entre vous.

Je sais que vous avez beaucoup de questions, mais malheureusement, je ne peux pas répondre à la plupart d’entre elles. Pas pour le moment, en tout cas.

Sachez que vos actions sont cruciales dans le Project-Skyscraper. Le Système réagit à vos actions comme nous l’avions prévu, même s’il semble parfois halluciner. C’est ce qui arrive quand on essaie de se souvenir d’événements lointains.
Si votre propre réalité devient instable, signalez-le aux autres Opérateurs : #GlitchingReality
Identifiez les anomalies dans votre environnement : ce qui rompt la continuité du réel est un indice sur les hallucinations du Système.

Vos efforts ne sont pas vains. Chaque fil que vous tissez nous rapproche du but. La mémoire est un labyrinthe sans sortie, chaque couloir exploré peut révéler un fragment d’information. Et chaque fragment partagé est un souvenir qui se consolide.

Viendra le temps où les choses deviendront claires comme du cristal. Et vous serez fiers d’avoir contribué. Mais ce temps n’est pas encore venu. Je travaille sur ce projet depuis de nombreuses années.

Vous comprendrez.

The Architect

PS : @William je compte sur toi pour la traduction. C’est le sens qui compte, pas les mots.

We see the Vision and our path forward is forged in the flames of our own nostalgic memories, even if supplemented by grievances.

Can’t wait to see Emily again :eyes:

I don’t know what’s going on or why everyone is posting quotes, but I’m proud to be here.

I hope I’ve been helpful, or at least mildly entertaining.

You’re amazing, Architect! This experience has been an amazingly fun one. I’m glad I got to know my fellow Operators, and that we all contributed to this together. I can’t wait to see what we’re heading towards, and I’m happy to contribute however I can

I too am watching with confusion, but to heck with it, I’m posting a quote too (one more on the funny side)

Hi ! I’m not William, but I think I can help to tanslate, if it wasn’t already done. The architect says:

"Operators,

I’m watching you very closely today, as I have been for a long time, I know each one of you.

I know you have many questions, but unfortunately, I can’t answer most of them, not yet at least.

Know that your actions are crucial in the Project-Skyscraper. System reacts to your actions as intended even if it seems to hallucinate sometimes. That can happened when trying to remember long-past events.

If your own reality become unstable, report to others operators : #GlitchingReality

Identify anomalies in your environment : what break reality continuity is a hint onto the system’s hallucinations.

Your efforts are not in vain. Each thread you weave bring us closer to the goal. Memory is a labyrinth without exit, each explored corridor can reveal a fragment of information. And each fragment shared is a memory consolidated

The time will come, things will be crystal clear. And you’ll be proud to contributed to it. But time has not come yet. I’m working on this project for many years.

You will understand.

The Architect"

In the post-scriptum, he insists on the fact that meaning is important, not words.

Summary

Operators.

I am watching you very closely today, as I have for so long… I know each and every one of you.

I know you have many questions, but unfortunately, I cannot answer most of them. Not right now, anyway.

Know that your actions are crucial to Project Skyscraper. The System is reacting to your actions as we intended, even if it sometimes seems to hallucinate. This is what happens when we try to remember distant events.
If your own reality becomes unstable, report it to the other Operators: #GlitchingReality
Identify anomalies in your environment: anything that breaks the continuity of reality is a clue to the System’s hallucinations.

Your efforts are not in vain. Every thread you weave brings us closer to our goal. Memory is a labyrinth with no exit; every corridor explored can reveal a fragment of information. And every fragment shared is a memory that is solidified.

The time will come when things will become crystal clear. And you will be proud to have contributed. But that time has not yet come. I have been working on this project for many years.

You will understand.

The Architect

PS: @William, I’m counting on you for the translation. It’s the meaning that counts, not the words.

Merci @the_architect J’espère que cela aidera les autres

Below the Po, rolls slow, from Alps to Adriatic Sea
Blow, old bellows, blow, take us where you will
Padua, Genoa, Corsica, Catalonia, oh Segovia
Oh, unfathomable firmament

That we should set a course, between the two
Clinging only to our orb, of blue and red
Like Romanov’s, to a Fabergé egg
Push Sisyphus, push, heave our sphere into the heavens

If I’m to die, then let it be in summertime
In a manner of my own choosing

To fall from a great height
On a warm July afternoon

Liverwurst, Battenburg, Emmental, Syllabub, Muscadet
Throw it all away, we need more height
Oh Newton, release this apple from its earthly shackles
And live to fight another day

Go back from whence you came, the swallows cry
You’ve corrupted and befouled, the ground you walk upon
And now you come, to poison the skies
Please friends, forgive this brief intrusion

___— Count Grassis Passage Over Piedmont.

WHOIS Count Grassi?

Did they exist beyond a mural in a french cafe? The author of this song could never verify their existence, but the mural inspired them to write of their escapades none the less.

A memory made real. #glitchingreality

Through the power of song.

Wake Up, Emily.

Doesn’t hurt to have a translation in absence of @William, but I’d love to see it when he does get a chance.

Not quite sure either, but I assume the French language is making some of us feel all poetic?

I hope for it ! It is not perfect, i’ve done it on the fly so it would be great to have his point of view on it.

Hello, traveller-friends. I am not french, but am a native speaker of a latin language(Pt-BR) with a beginner level of French and I have taken a crack at translating this myself, with the aid of dictionaries. Hope it gives a different perspective. I’ve tried to keep the nouns and verbs very faithful to the original text, so hopefully this is a more literal version that may aid in finding potential wordplay.

Operators.

I observe you very attentively today, just as I have done for such a long time… I know each one of you.

I know you have many questions, but unfortunately, I cannot answer most of them. Not at this moment, in any case.

Know that your actions are crucial to Project Skyscraper. The System is reacting to your actions as we have predicted, even if it sometimes seems to be hallucinating. This is what happens when you try to remember distant events.
If your own reality becomes unstable, signal it to the other Operators: #GlitchingReality

The time will come when things shall become crystal clear. And you will be proud to have contributed. But that time has not come yet. I have been working on this project for numerous years.

I did a quick translation of the Architect’s message. I’m french so I sure hope I know how to speak my own language.
