  • 3 different ISAC's? || Story / Lore || The Division 2
    Introduced in Year 5, Season 1…Descent is an AR training simulation.
    At the NSA Facility, it was designed to test the limits of the Ortiz Robotics tech.
    Agents are forced to leave their gear and SHD tech behind, to help Wally extract intel from the NSA database.
    Through this intel we will discover a wealth of knowledge about the history of the simulation, and Ortiz Robotics' connection to the Division, Natalya Sokolova, and Calvin McManus.

      This is a lot more than just one simple diamond program that made the hunters…..it’s also part embedded with black tusk as some kind of cult believers to the diamond. Overall this is a bigger problem than the divisions can handle.

      Diamond is Black Tusks System
      Highest level processor power of the three, its the easiest intergratable network for all the electronic gadgets Black Tusk purchased from DARPA. And it's capabilities outnumber the other two.
      ISAC is the Division's standalone system. Its the most adaptable, its comms are versatile and ISAC can troubleshoot better than Diamond, often giving Agents the edge in combat and field ops.
      ANNA is an isolated system, probably designed as a secondary system to combat ISACS protocol if neccesary, its meant to do everything ISAC can but more efficiently and its functions are much better protected thanks to Parnells input.
      Your right with the Hunters, they have Unfiltered access to Diamond and ISAC networks thanks to Mcmanus making a last ditch deal behind Sokolvas back to create a backdoor protocol for his hunters.
      I don't know if the hunters have access to ANNA though, I'm thinking Keener and Parnell anticipated that threat when establishing ANNA within the Rogue agent cells.

      @MattCollectorControl Рік тому +2

      @edwardmartin4169 he's a grey area guy. A decent leader but with really bad ideals.
      Amherst wanted to bring back the idea that only the strongest should survive. Popularity control to stop humanity imploding on itself irreversibly. At least with only 10% of the world populace intact, (approx. 1.2 million compared to billions) it would humble us as a species to have to go back to survival above all. There is a chance for redemption in that according to him.
      Keener felt that the world didn't learn from this outbreak, he felt the powers that be still chose to sacrifice the many to save themselves. No unity, and no cause for regret in their selfish governing.
      He felt Armhersts goal needed to be more final in his mind. Eclipse was to be the exclamation point. A complete reset of civilisation. Hundreds instead of thousands. A few thousand instead of a few million. But most of all. The current government's across the globe would be unable to implant control any further.
      Keener was a vengeful sympathiser of Amhersts vision. He felt it was up to him alone to change the world, his rogues merely being the worker bees that help to transform it. Nothing more.
      Yes he's bad. But Sokolova is far worse. Play the game enough and you'll realise that immediately.

    i think the hunters having the third type of system is the best bet. my guess is that it was still in its prototype stage and before it could be fully implemented the outbreak came along. so now mcmanus has taken that prototype and modified it for deployment in his hunters.

      The hunters have a system that is similar to those of the SHD and Rogue agents but when Claire made it for Cal, it allowed Cal to use it as a backdoor to break into the other systems. Hence why when you fight hunters and use skills they can hack them and ISAC also doesn't recognize them since they were made separately.

    Most likely the reason why Malik got fired from odia is because he was doing some sort of corporate espionage for Natalia sokolova & they found out.
    As far as it goes for the three networks that were connected before the outbreak it would be Isaac, diamond, and the tech that the hunters are using. Don't forget Leo Parnell had to make Anna almost from scratch All he did was use Isaac as a template for Anna he had to get his own servers in secret locations and the rogue network was born. All he has to do is piggyback off of Isaac and if Isaac went offline either permanently or temporarily Anna could easily jump off of Isaac's network onto her own network so the rogues would never be affected.
    Thanks to this I now know 100% that keener was in the network looking at everything and got the big picture. The things he was doing in the long run were to benefit those agents that were truly on mission but Isaac would flag them as rogue we've seen it with other audio tapes where people were on mission but were flagged rogue and other audio tapes that some agents were surprised they weren't flagged rogue.
    It looks like Aaron keener really was some sort of anti-hero.

      ANNA was originally made before ISAC but when in testing the agents felt that ANNA was too smart since ANNA used a more logical way of thinking. Ie: let's say you got shot and are bleeding, ANNA would say go down the block, take a right, there is a pharmacy, break in through the back and this medication and that. Boom your fixed. ISAC essentially will say there is a pharmacy so and so blocks down, you'll need this medication. But once you break in you are breaking the laws (since you broke into a private place) thus flagging you Rogue.

I'm still waiting for Shaefer to reveal what her agenda really was so her redemption arc can he completed. Maybe she'll finally get the cutscene she deserves because even though it was a nice touch when Benitez ordered Kelso to return her body I felt it needed more.

  • @aaronfilipowich3877
    @aaronfilipowich3877 Рік тому +3

    So picking through the information of the past few years from the books and the game I have a few theories: First, there is 3 AI programs; SHD, Diamond and another unknown, I say unknown because if everything I remember about Theo Parnell's recordings is correct, he was that type of person the Ortiz's were worried about digging through the garbage code to find the back door. Then used it to create ANNA separate but still connected with better security protocols. This would explain the ability to use SHD and Diamond tech and to be able to avoid Hunters. Hunters were able to find rogue agents not connected to Keener as demonstrated in Manhunts, but they could never catch up too Keener or his rogue agents. Second; I'll try keep this as vague as possible but hopefully @NGN and other lore fans, can understand it. In the novels (highly recommend them) something bad happens to the Division in terms of their duties. Now since the novels are based after Division 2 (give or take) I think the story dlc Black Diamond represents the exchange of authority between the Division and the Black Tusk after McManus changes the script. We know the connection between Calvin McManus and Natalya Sokolova already. I have a theory that in that echo in the coffee shop near the White House the unknown person tasking Baron Schaeffer create a massive black ops unit was McManus and Baron actually created the Black Tusk for Sokolova. Why you ask? Because the Division was created to save what remains and McManus doesn't have full control of them so he allies with Sokolova to create a standing army, loyal to them so they can re-create the U.S. as they want. The other theory is that the echo shows Baron being tasked with finding candidates for the Hunter program. Following my first theory the Hunters would have been tasked with thinning out the ranks of the free thinking agents, hence why there is so many Hunters just watching before the Black Tusk arrive. So I think the issue agents have in novels is because of McManus so that he can install BT in a position of authority.

    But what i dont understand is, ortiz robotics feeding all sides? Did they make all 3 AIs? If so, how did the division not now this? Unless Natalia, as she said, kept all of her cards secret until she was ready to play, and kept her presence outside of the divisions view. Did McManus sign for use of diamond as well for the hunters, but like a more advanced version? Or a prototyped AI?

    I think this also explains why a few of the rogue agents were able to wipe out groups of division (Isaac users) agents without any issues, because of the watches record both geometric positions, movement patterns and other things then if someone like Theo Parnell, keener, even hunters found or figured out the back door and got into all three systems then, I suppose it makes complete sense and explain why division agents were bested in combat and easily wiped out, but even then Isac has a self-termination feature (which means the back door wouldn’t be able to work as it’s designed to remove isac from the server but allowing it to retain functionality such as recording position or allows him to remove access to his system by removing his data from the shared database) cause isac is explained as a self contained ai system and isac is the only one of the three that still worked when one of the shd nodes went down

    As always love your videos, and after watching this in my head, I can think of a couple of possibilities mainly. One, you're right that the three major databases they reference in question are ISAC (SHD), Diamond(Black Tusk), and ANNA. If this is the case, who was ANNA initially intended for ??? or was it just basically the testing/environment that they used internally, and Keener's group stumbled across it? Or what's unlikely there were three initially, and Keener's group found a back door and created a 4th network underlying everything.

From what we can hear, him and Natalya have been acquaintances for years, but these comms have proved he HAD suspicions about her and didn’t trust her completely, hence why he asked Ortiz for a fail safe against her. However, the comms between him and Nat back in Season 9, it seemed like they were basically best buddies to the point where you couldn’t differentiate the Black Tusk from DHS/the Hunters, what with the Hunter program, the “Deceit” operative and all. Did something change in the time between the Descent comms and the Schaeffer manhunt events/S9 comms? Why are the Hunters, who were supposedly created to kill exclusively rogue agents and thus aiding the S.H.D, killing completely legit Division operatives who weren’t flagged down as rogues by ISAC?

    I find it weird that they talk about "Feeding all three into the same repository" and then then next sentence say "what about the other databases. Like diamond, its all built on the same tech"
    Talking like Diamond isnt one of the 3 they are talking about.
    So maybe, there is ISAC, ANNA, a third unknown one and then more extra databases not part of this deal like diamond.

    Is Alexander Ortiz the voice of ISSAC? Sounds like it ... Question about the hunters. Do you think they could be using a modified version of Anna, pre outbreak? Who do you think is suppling the hunter's gear? Do you think their armor is part of the lore? They have massive amounts of armor, seemingly better tech, it's far more superior that any agent. Or is that more about game mechanics and balancing than anything else?

    • @Kurticuss
      @Kurticuss Рік тому

      It is the same voice actor for both Alexander Ortiz and ISAC. Regarding Hunter gear: I noticed on many of the hunters an icon. If you watch the original Division Survival Teaser at the end where the Hunter kills the fleeing agent. Look at his chest plate. The same icon is used on other Hunters in both Div 1 and 2.

    I have a theory about the Hunters here maybe the hunters were sent after division agents so Natalia Sokalova could gain access to the SHD network. And thats why the hunters get as many watches and SHD tech as they can. The hunters also hunt Rogues so Sokalova can also have access to ANNA. NGN if you see this Id like to hear your thoughts on this theory as you probably know the lore better than I do.

    • @Hook_em1108
      @Hook_em1108 Рік тому

      The birth of The Rogue and Hunter Protocol.
      We will start with The Rogue Protocol.
      When ISAC was under development Claire and Alex noticed that ISAC was a bit too sensitive when it came to the actions that its user took, essentially flagging them for being "off mission". While on assignment an agent broke into a pharmacy after sustaining gun shot wounds. ISAC deemed this action "off mission" seeing how ISAC is a brown noser; flagged the agent and completely shut down the use of her tech. This action ultimately cost the agent her life. After hearing of the tragic loss, Calvin demanded that they "fix" this issue and allow the agents tech to still maintain functionality even when flagged "off mission" so this incident does not happen again. Claire warned Mc Manis of the consequences that could happen if the change was made. Mc Manis wanted it done immediately. Before Claire went live with the patch, she made sure that ISAC would vocally and visually warn its user of a Rogue agent near by. So in the end Calvin Mc Manis was the one who started The Rogue Protocol. If it wasn't for his actions Rogues would be as much as a threat as they are now.
      Now...The Hunter Protocol.
      Calvin always had a "secret unit" of his own and we know them now as Hunters. Cal asked Claire to design an AI system for his "other unit" and used this unit as a "clean up crew ." The Hunter Protocol was basically a fail safe for when the SHD had too many Rogue agents running wild. Within this Hunter Protocol there were 3 levels: Individual, Regional and National. When it came to the Individual level, Cal could activate a Hunter on a case by case basis if the instance that 1 or 2 Rogues needed to be dealt with. The other two levels are self explanatory, more rogues--> more hunters. But if they were ONLY supposed to hunt Rogues, why were they hunting agents in Survival as saw in Div 1? Maybe Cal was already up to no good and had plans set in place for the future or maybe he simply lost control of his elite group and they decided to stand down on their own ( as you've seen in Div 2, as most hunters stalk and watch from a distance)

    Glad you posted this because I am yet to pick up any Descent comms. I'm just not as down with Descent as you are. 🤷‍♂️🤣
    For some reason I'd never picked up on the whole ANNA thing before but it makes sense. But what I'm wondering is whether Theo discovered ANNA while digging into ISAC and trying to hack DIAMOND, and whether ANNA is the network the Hunters are using because they've made it so that it can backdoor both ISAC and DIAMOND. Because we know we use ISAC and Black Tusk uses DIAMOND but there is no indication about who was using ANNA. After all, most of Keener's rogues seem to still use ISAC with a spoof to make their watches appear Orange and allow access to Division Tech. Yes, Keener could jam and hack everything but that was probably because Theo discovered Cal's master AI which was ANNA. And, since we know Cal's watch was flashing all three colours, we know he is one of the few people to have access to all the networks. So it makes sense that he had ISAC for the Division, DIAMOND for Black Tusk, and ANNA as his back door into both.
    But hopefully we learn more from future Descent comms!
    Thanks again, mate. Appreciate it.

    No doubt the Black Tusk use some form of the Diamond AI, they have the diamond as part of their logo. I’m guessing the average foot soldier only has limited access to system while their officers have more control. I’m wondering if this new AI is what is controlling their war hounds, mini-tanks, and drones. It would explain why all of their tech self-destructs after they take too much damage in combat; they don’t want anyone analyzing the wreckage and discovering the new system.

      ISAC- Intelligent Systems Analytical Computer
      ANNA- Artificial Neural Network Assissant
      Alexander Ortiz and Claire Ortiz from Ortiz Robotics are the VERY reason The Division agents have the fancy tech that they utilize everyday. But they are also responsible for the very watches that are seen through out the game.
      Alexander Ortiz "The Father of ISAC" and Claire Ortiz " The Mother of ANNA". Although we have seen ISAC since the 1st game, ISAC was NOT the first system created...ANNA was. Which also means ANNA was NOT created by Aaron Keener, but was merely utilized by Keener (Did Keener know more about ANNA than what was said? 👀👀)
      To begin, Claire started working on ANNA before ISAC was even thought of. ANNA primary job was to collect, process and analyze information. This tech caught the eyes of Calvin which saw this as a advantage towards National Security. But when it came down to testing the users did not like the feminine features that ANNA offered and how smart she was. Alexander Ortiz eventually talked Claire down to using more masculine AI and features but Claire did not have time to reprogram a new one but eventually designed ISAC.
      What makes them so different?
      Well in terms of difference let me break it down barney style like this. ISAC can be seen as a brown noser. Let's say you are shot and you need to fix yourself up, ISAC will say "local pharmacy XXX blocks away" but the second you break into that pharmacy, you guessed it you are flagged as Rogue since you are essentially breaking the law by breaking into this pharmacy. But ANNA would say " local pharmacy is XXX blocks away, look for this medication and these items to fix yourself. You might need to break a window in order to get in" but...not flag you as Rogue.
      DIAMOND
      This is the tech used by you guessed it The Black Tusks. Calvin tried to get this rolling in the beginning but knew the Homeland Security budget would NOT pay up for this since they were burning through money as is. So what does he do? He goes to someone he has known for a while and has much deeper pockets. Natalya Sokolova. She paid for and gave this tech to her field operators hence why on TBT they have those neat little blue LEDs.
      So if you're thinking why not just use ANNA since it seems more efficient? But there is more to the story....would you like to know more???

    This is not really too surprising it's a power game. I mean why would anyone be surprised by Natalia sokolova 's power grab. The Black Tusk are similar to The division, but you can tell these assholes lack a moral code.
    Bardon was the top guy the commander for the Black Tusk in field. From defense contractor standpoint, I smell a bidding war in blood. Bardon seems like a test dummy, realized it, and intentionally got caught.
    Last season, Fred got killed, Nat thought she won, but doesn't even know about the mobile severs .... I'm thinking when Bardon finally wakes his ass up, the seams in the candy bag is going to fall apart. Natalya knows, which is why she's playing the hostage game.
    Little does she know, agents are ripping her organization to shreds even more now....

    Still... Can't believe they killed off Keener so early, not only they just killed the most recognizable and powerful rogue in the plot, his chaotic personality can really push the current situation to the climax, just imagine stovepipe's mission has traces of Keener, that would just make the situation ten times more chaotic and interesting.
    Same with lots of memorable characters in the current story too, they just doesn't have any impact, Faye Lau, Schaefer, that True Son commander who helped us.
    Literally introduced, and then killed off(or left aside) but I wouldn't expect much at this point now. Tom Clancy's plot must've used up long time ago.
