	Straton faces his end.		[[File:Straton 12.mp3\|thumb\|Straton faces his end.]]

	I have considered the visions that have plagued me on this strange journey, this insubstantial pageant all around me, and I have asked myself: is this Hades? Are these the Blessed Isles? For I never believed such things existed, except by made by the hands of the living. The conclusion I have come to frightens me, but I must face it. It is not this island that is insubstantial, but I. Straton of Stageira is dead; he has been dead for many ages of the world. I am a ghost; a flicker of memory, soon to be extinguished. And yet I am pleased. Perhaps I did not live a good life; but I lived a necessary one. I am gone, but humankind abides, and the flame of Prometheus still burns. In its bright light, I will rest easy, knowing that my work is accomplished.

	Straton wonders what would make a good life possible.		[[File:Straton 11.mp3\|thumb\|Straton wonders what would make a good life possible.]]

	Perhaps for the life of an individual citizen to be good, first the city itself must be good. Perhaps even the cosmos itself must be made better, before such a thing as a good life is truly possible. These insubstantial creatures that walk through my thoughts – perhaps they can live that life. They are, after all, human beings like myself. This much I have understood. Is that why they have summoned me? Can I somehow bring them into this world, make them real… Or am I… No…		Perhaps for the life of an individual citizen to be good, first the city itself must be good.

	Straton considers whether he lived a good life.		[[File:Straton 10.mp3\|thumb\|Straton considers whether he lived a good life.]]

	What did it mean, in the end, to be Straton? To have few friends and many enemies? To write harsh words because it seemed necessary? To pursue the truth at the expense of all else, of family, of love… to pursue that one principle to the point of… of death. Is that what I was? A life lived against the tides of history, broken, jagged, unrelenting? Not a kind old man beloved of his children and then forgotten, but a thorn, a rock in a show, insisting on the truth until it becomes a hideous, frightening thing that cannot be tolerated even by those who agree with it? Was that a good life?		What did it mean, in the end, to be Straton? To have few friends and many enemies? To write harsh words because it seemed necessary?

	I see these beings, these children of a future age, wandering around an island more fantastical than Atlantis itself, looking desperately to find themselves. I reach out to them, but they cannot see me. I speak to them, but I do not know if they can hear me. Am I being punished? Are the gods playing some cruel trick on me? Why can I remember so little? What is this sorrowful voice I hear, whispering such terrible thoughts? I must use what remains of my mind. I must… understand.

			[[File:Straton of Stageira.jpg\|thumb\|"Hologram" of Straton of Stageira]]'''Straton's audio logs''' are twelve recordings made by [[Straton of Stageira]]. The player acquires an audio log by touching what appears to be a hologram of Straton sitting in a pensive pose. This causes the figure of Straton to disappear, and the player hears one of the audio logs. The logs can later be heard again from the [[Interface]] research tab.

			The audio logs are unlocked in sequence; there is no correspondence between an area and a specific log. See each individual [[:Category:TTP2 Areas\|area page]] for information about where to find its Straton hologram.
