WANDERING MIND [WM]

EXPERIMENTAL, PRIVATELY FUNDED BY MITOS
3RD GENERATION ITERATOR #704 OF UTILITY

"There are many, many things out there that I regret. Pray this isn't one of them. Please..."

The esteemed senior of Local Group 94. Strategically placed higher in altitude and close to the equator, Minds was designed and built with the intent to advance space travel. However, due to a couple of coincidences, the colony grew into a bustling city within cycles of its opening instead. The focus on the frontier above was dismissed, and the great problem followed suit. It was quickly assumed by the greater population that Wandering Mind was built as a peripheral to nearby iterators.

Of course, this was not the case, as more iterators of similar purpose were quick to be activated nearby to comprise a local group. It was around this time the intentions of the MITOS initiative were revealed... and when Mind's abilities were proven. The group quickly started working in collaboration to design, upgrade, and maintain most of the transportation networks seen almost around the planet. 

With specialties in inorganic technology, engineering, aviation, and transportation (with a bit of logistics mixed in), Mind's overall demeanor is between the lines of efficient and cooperative. Open to working with anyone he meets, his name is not ignored much. This makes it easy for him to be taken advantage of, despite his seniority.

SUSPENDED CONFLICT [SC]

EXPERIMENTAL, PRIVATELY FUNDED BY MITOS
3RD GENERATION ITERATOR #703 OF UTILITY

"Don't worry, I don't go plundering other cargo ships like a pirate."

The second member of Local Group 94 by technicality, having begun construction before Minds but being completed merely cycles after. He was built with a focus on goods shipping, with a specialty in seafaring as a shipwright. His administrators have been known to be extremely lax, and his history is otherwise lacking. Nobody takes him seriously, though, and Conflict doesn't really like that.

Some could say he's almost lucky, having not caught himself in any drama nor catching any praise. He often takes everything extremely lightly. He's also the most social of the group, spending his time in broadcast whenever he's not doing anything.

FRAGMENTED MEMORIES [FM]

EXPERIMENTAL, PRIVATELY FUNDED BY MITOS
3RD GENERATION ITERATOR #706 OF UTILITY

"You're lucky I can't turn these void-damned trains around-"

The third member of Local Group 94. She was built with less processing power but with much, much more short-access and long-term memory storage capabilities. Designated to store a backup of the global public archives, Fragment was to undergo what was essentially a software update every other 10 minor cycles. In addition, she also maintains and runs the global SkyRail lines in collaboration with the SOLITARY_CONDUITS Local Group.

Fragment is constantly vying for attention, often being left in the dust compared to her more popular neighbors. Sassy and judgmental, her behavior is often seen as a difficult way to cope with the FOMO she experiences so often. 

SHEER SPECULATION [SS]

EXPERIMENTAL, PRIVATELY FUNDED BY MITOS AND COMPANY
3RD GENERATION ITERATOR #711 OF THE GREAT PROBLEM

"Please go away. Unless you're useful, somehow."

The fourth and 'last' member of Local Group 94. Built in response to public backlash, Speculation was designed to "make up for the losses" of Local Group 94's existence. Boasting extra processing power to match two iterators and additional measures to stay focused on the great problem, her construction was the least controversial of the group.

Speculation hasn't let the situation get to her, thankfully. His efficiency lets her deal with the extra workload, among other things, quite remarkably. She's cold and calculating, mainly preferring the ends rather than the means in almost any given situation. 

TIMELESS ODYSSEY [TO]

PROTOTYPE, TO BE BUILT BY WANDERING MIND
4TH GENERATION ITERATOR #1804 OF EXPLORATION

"So... why exactly am I up here?"

...

“Yet another simple beast...

...you stumble across the grounds of yet another vast iterator project.

I cannot blame you. This place still has the charm that I blessed upon it long ago.

Even if it rests, crooked and broken, the mind within it carries on.

If you ever see him that wanders, just like you do... please guide him;

let him know his grateful creator is still here, and that she will not be leaving anytime soon.”
