Timeline

This page offers a quick reference to the order of events in the Flux Theorem lore. It does not explain events in detail, but it can be used for quick reference and gaining a better understanding of the current story and lore. It mainly focuses on the most significant things that have happened throughout the Flux Theorem story.

Infinity: Genesis

1959

• Caerus Laboratories is founded in Utah.

2005

• Caerus Laboratories commits to a dangerous experiment that opens a Quantum Rift. Alien life forms enter through this rift decimating a large number of Caerus personnel. US Special Forces are deployed to try to contain the situation, but are eventually pulled out. A nuclear device is detonated in the facility in an effort to wipe away all evidence of what happened.
• The aftermath of this experiment later begins to cause atmospheric interference, generating Quantum Rifts elsewhere around the world.

2006

• May 20 - Governments in various remote regions take notice of the quantum rifts sending military teams to pinpoint their location and investigate them.
• In order to prevent mass hysteria, several world governments in one form or another decide to cover these events up as terrorist attacks and unusual weather phenomena.
• Minute cases of Quantum Travelers surface and are apprehended on multiple occasions in secret by the US Government.
• As time passes by, the Quantum Rifts become more obvious and are described publicly as dangerous weather fluctuations to be avoided in certain regions.
• The United States Federal Offworld Threat Response Force is secretly created to attempt to head off these incursions.

2010

• Quantum Rifts worsen exponentially, Quantum Travelers appearing at higher frequencies around Earth. Millions of people are forced to relocate into military protection quarantines, mostly located over top major cities.
• The Great Rift War occurs as The Infinite Dominion launches a massive attack on Earth. After a day of fighting, all major opposition to Dominion forces are decisively defeated.
• The Infinite Dominion immediately seizes control over the planet, occupying humanity and electing Ambassador Whalen to direct the new unified Earth government under the Dominion's banner.
• Humans are sterilized in Protection Centers via use of inconceivable bio-chemical modifications to mandatory ration cycles.
• Government Military, Paramilitary, and Police forces are "temporarily" conscripted by the Infinite Dominion via Whalen.
• Several research and science teams are recovered over the course 1 month following the initial occupation and conscripted by the Infinite Dominion via Whalen.
• The Dominion begins experimenting with a large number of kidnapped children aged 12-17, some of whom they trained as deadly commandos of the Orion Control Unit or OCU.
• 6 months after occupation after vigorous human testing in secretive PROBE facilities, the Human Ascension Force becomes fully operational. HAF Troopers become the face of the Dominion's human military.
• Protection Centers 1 to 20 are established.
• Protection Centers 20 to 50 are established.
• The Domestic Workers Union is founded across several Protection Centers.
• The laws of former earth governments are replaced with the martial law under the Dominion Civil Authority, initiated 8 Months after the occupation.

2010-2036

• The Dominion Capital's Partition Monolith has been fully built and is now operational
• A few other minor city Partition Towers are set under construction.
• During 2013 The Infinite Dominion Civil Authority are fully administered and they begin eliminating all humans over the ages of 65 and under the ages of 18.
• Massive conversion and harvesting of earth resources has been done. Earths resources are largely depleted or destroyed.
• Large modified metal-mechanical decimation structures now infest lesser cities and continue to eat away at them, harvesting resources.
• Protection Centers 50 - 80 are established.

2037

• The Infinite Dominion has nearly finished collecting Earth's resources.
• The Infinite Dominion concludes that humanity's usefulness will not last much longer: working conditions are getting worse.
• The human population shrinks as the HAF destroys all lingering occupational remnants in the badlands.
• The Great Uprising happens: humanity attempts to fight The Infinite Dominion. They are far from successful and many humans die. However, since Earth's resources are close to being depleted, The Infinite Dominion realizes there is no need to continue trying to control humanity.
• The Infinite Dominion launches dark energy explosives at Earth and leaves the planet to its fate. What remains of the DCA is abandoned, apart from several commanding officers.

2038

• Free from The Infinite Dominion, dwindling remnants of humanity struggle to survive. Earth has become a toxic wasteland.

2041

• A researcher named Dr. Autumns manages to splice her own DNA with exotic energy (dark energy) to create an anomalous being known as Zero.
• Zero finds a number of uses with his Dark Energy form including the ability to blink around and phase through objects, he also has the ability to flux shift via use of the Flux Theorem. In the end his condition becomes infectious due to the gene splicing with Dark Energy creating the Dark Energy Virus that begins leaking around the world. Dr. Autumns instructs Zero to use the Flux Theorem device to attempt to stop the Infinite Dominion. This alteration establishes the realization of infinities and creates Infinity: Axiom.

Infinity: Axiom [PROJECT ZERO]

This is the infinity was created when Zero Flux Shifted. He may have flux shifted several other times after this but that information is unknown. Much of the details of Infinity: Axiom could have been brought from other infinities depending on how many times Zero flux shifted.

Before 2012

• The events are exactly the same as the Genesis Time-line, except only 60 cities are erected for the public as the Dominion takes notice of unacceptable changes brought about via flux shifting.
• Zero lands somewhere in 2010 and studies over what has happened, using the Flux Theorem Device to attempt to avoid the catastrophic human takeover of the Dominion.

2012-2013

• Zero is able to find his way into the Infinite Dominion's Civil Authority and cause silent chaos within founding the Enclave; a group of rogue units attempting to create unity in humanity in order to prevent Earth from being destroyed by the Infinite Dominion.

He assumes full power and begins to act in unclear plan, beginning with the mass execution of civilians with criminal violations, minor and major. Over time, supplies and rations grow scarce, and the city suffers.
• Perhaps due to resistance efforts or due to betrayal among 20303's own ranks, a distress signal is sent out to Dominion cities near City 18. Shortly after, an exterior Dominion force is sent to the city to reclaim control. A skirmish ensues, forces loyal to 20303 crumbling quickly. City 18 is eventually restored into its former state under new leadership, 20303 presumed dead.
•  Protection Center 18 is where James Ace Elroy starts his own resistance influenced by the Enclave of Protection Center 45. Many saw him as a promising and inspiring leader up until his death.

Mid 2018-2020

• The Esoterics launch their assault the industrial sector of Dominion Capital, kick-starting Operation Dethrone. The DCA, unexpectant of an attack of this magnitude, is hit by surprise. Several Esoterics however don't survive the assault.
• The DCA retaliates with their own operation to kill the Esoterics. Massive amounts of units are sent after them on a counter assault.
• The Esoterics, caught off guard, flee, losing track of each other in the process. This is the end of the Esoterics group: all surviving members are left to their own merits.
• News of the assault on industrial Capital spreads, and other Liberation Front groups, inspired by the Esoterics, launch assaults as well.
• The resistance group in Protection Center 8, that both Nick Bradford and Jill Farkas were a part of, launches an assault at the Infinite Dominion. Jill Farkas is known to have survived, largely because she ran away as the fighting broke out. The city's Ambassador attempted to escape as fighting intensified, but was cut down by a sniper. Nick Bradford barely survived an assault on the hidden Liberation Front base, primarily as a result of Saga ordering all Ascension troops to pull back and stop obeying 08292's orders. Bradford later attempted to ambush an injured 08292, but was stopped from doing so by 37383, an Internal Watch officer.

The events of Flux Theorem start here.

• In the Protection Center 8 area, abandoned units that consider themselves still loyal to the Dominion begin to establish what would become the New Union.
• 08292, after a long period in a coma, awakens in an outpost in Protection Center 8, guarded by a small group of Internal Watch and CORE units. He starts trying to reach out to other surviving Dominion forces in the area, and begins taking command of the survivors.
• Surviving Internal Watch units begin taking command of the nearby Dominion Civil Authority survivors, forming a small contingency force. It grows steadily and roams the wastelands. The initially attempt to punish anyone who is not loyal to The Infinite Dominion, but later desist this activity in favor of gathering supplies for themselves and securing outposts for shelter.
• Jill Farkas is living on her own in a former Liberation Front base, in the outskirts of Protection Center 8. She grows bitter.
• 08292 gathers a sizable force made up of hundreds of survivors he was able to reach over the course of a few weeks. He travels to mainland Asia, leaving a small detachment of units behind at the Protection Center 8 outpost, commanded by 37383. He makes a proclamation of a "New Union", providing a new official designation for all forces under his command.
• The battle for Protection Center 25 finally ends after five more long months of furious fighting. The resistance movement there is crushed by surviving autonomous IDn forces, who then patrol the area, killing anything that got too close.

Early-Mid 2020: Flux Theorem: Chapter 2 - Reformation And Mystery

• 37383 receives word of newly-made New Union doctrine regarding civilian survivors. Units under his command are ordered to leave non-hostile survivors alone, and invite those willing to come to a hastily put together civilian shelter.
• The New Union begins reclaiming autonomous Ascension and Autonetic units around the Protection Center after salvaging them from various bases.
• The New Union becomes aware of the Liberation Front base from a sudden interference readout. 37383 and 58132 arrive there to negotiate terms with them peacefully until they are attacked by an unknown IDn assailant.
• A drawing of Stacey Miller in the Protection Center 8 Liberation Front base is mysteriously crossed out.
• The New Union learns of the existence of a teleport in the Liberation Front base, and offers the group food in exchange for access to the technology in their base.
• Jill Farkas aggressively denies this offer with the threat of a weapon. The group approves of her actions collectively in the end, refusing the New Union's offer.
• Jill Farkas explains her motives, and the group decides to try to use the teleport to escape, and destroy it in the process.
• 08292 and a garrison of 1,500 units begin the Battle of Protection Center 44, intending to capture key areas of the city and use it as a base. Aside from some entanglements with teams of rampant autonetics, the New Union wins the battle decisively. After excavating the city, the New Union discovers it is too devastated to be of any use, withdrawing and redistributing manpower to other operations.

Late 2020: Flux Theorem Chapter 3 - Fall Frame

• 08292 commands a fairly large force, in the thousands into the long-abandoned Protection Center 11 in France, reclaiming it for use as their headquarters.
• Senior Enforcer 37383 receives small amounts of reinforcement units from New Union headquarters at his outpost.
• An unidentified unit thought to be Infinite Dominion related enters the Protection Center 8 New Union controlled district. The unit is spotted by a few New Union units who report the information back to the stronghold.
• Jill Farkas starts to accuse the New Union of supporting the destruction of mankind, spreading propaganda throughout the area about them.
• The New Union takes Jill Farkas into custody, seeing her as mentally unfit and start starving her to death for her actions with hopes of retrieving information from her.
• Meanwhile the Unidentified unit still lurks, eventually sighted by the New Union unit, '58132' wearing a suit of armor never before seen. The Unit is chased from the New Union Stronghold and vanishes before they can catch it.
• The New Union is now on high alert, suspecting more strange activity reminiscent of the unit. As New Union suspicion increases gradually, Shadow units are dispatched from New Union headquarters to assist the Protection Center 8 outpost.
• With this plan active, an assortment of New Union forces and Survivors eventually corner this unit. Upon being compromised the unit threatens the few with an explosive device of sorts before it detonates it, causing it to glass over via Dark Energy reaction.
• The New Union capture the unit's body studying it diligently until they uncover an identification plate reading "57773", confirmed the unit was affiliated with the Infinite Dominion.
• Another Dominion unit is sighted within the vicinity later, captured this time by a team of New Union HAF after a battle with Rose Darion. With resistance given, the New Union attempt to interrogate the Infinite Dominion unit, but it offers them nothing, ordering they be subsumed into Paradigm. While being transferred form detainment, the Infinite Dominion unit attacks and kills a Grid Unit, before being blasted and killed by an Internal Watch unit. Similar to the other Infinite Dominion unit, this unit also glasses and crystallizes all over after a series of internal events occurring throughout its body.
• The New Union finds evidence suggesting the Infinite Dominion was not destroyed and willingly targeting them as enemies for some reason. A peculiar synthetic device protruding from the back of the unit's neck is discovered, found to be connected to their upper spine.
• 58132 later discovers another IDn Operative lurking in the sewer sector, reporting it to the New Union. It is confirmed to have a similar carapace-type armor to the previous troopers.
• The unit manages to infiltrate the New Union Stronghold sector, sighted spying multiple times. Later he is traced by 58132 and 22497 to a Nexus Monitoring Facility, previously inaccessible by the New Union.
• 58132 and 22497 learn of the strange neck device's ability to relay commands and are shocked after discovering it is routed through the units nervous system during X-Ray scans. After the unit causes some havoc in the Stronghold, they manage to put it down, before it glasses over.
• The IDn ceases to appear in the city after this, while the New Union enter a state of alert as sounds of the Partition Tower, overhead aircraft, and outer district commotion warn of danger.
• The New Union eventually discover a probe-like device, sighted by 58132 and Rose Darion with an interface reading "FallFrame" and a timer counting down from 72 hours.
• 22497 receives an order to execute Jill Farkas but refuses to follow it and brings Jill to Rose Darion and James Lanix barely alive instead.
• New Union units engage the local IDn forces repeatedly, eventually pursuing what appeared to be the HELIX Divisional 64007 into the IDn's facility. The hostile unit vanishes, and Grid units attempt to crack systems.
• 37383 and the Shadow unit, working together, spend five straight days hunting down and killing remaining IDn ground forces in the immediate area, as well as an autonomous IDn HAF Assassin.
• New Union units discover a hooded figure called Stacey "Athena" Miller. She shows up several times, threatening New Union units before shooting one in the leg.
• Rose Darion takes some anti-depressants, and has a strange vision. She sees a room and hears what she believes are Stacey's log entries.
• The FallFrame probe's countdown is perceived to be a threat, urging the New Union to plan an evacuation from their Protection Center 8 stronghold.
• The units form a steady line of defense and pursue Stacey after she attacks them. After leading them to an abandoned warehouse Stacey activates an IDn shield, blocking and delaying the New Union for a time.
• James Lanix speaks with and convinces New Union to let survivors around the area escape the city on a separate train alongside them.
• Stacey uses a terminal in her hideout to access the systems of the only IDn Transport Trains leading out of the city. Demands are made that she walks away alive, and that Jill Farkas is killed, otherwise the trains will be destroyed and the FallFrame will kill them all.
• The New Union responds to Stacey's ransom, by blocking her from accessing their systems however, something Stacey does cripples their network in the process.
• Stacey explains to Rose that Jill is someone that knows of the location blueprints related to inter-universal travel, something the IDn will use to destroy humanity. She argues that Jill needs to be killed and burned before the IDn can extract her memories and obtain said blueprints to which Rose hesitantly agrees.
• Rose confronts Jill in the ruins of the old Liberation Front base asking her what she knows of the inter-universal technology. Jill informs Rose on some details regarding the blueprints, but refuses to reveal where they are. An argument ensues, before Jill admits knowing the location of the blueprints a curse she wished she never had to bear.
• Reluctantly, Rose ends up killing Jill, knowing the impending threat of the IDn before burning her corpse.
• Rose hears a strange computer voice say that the "bearer count" has dropped to zero. She discovers a laptop with some strange messages.
• Rose and James burn Jill's corpse, preventing the IDn from extracting the location of the blueprints from her brain.
• Stacey explains to Rose that while the computer systems have been destroyed, the portal in the Liberation Front base is still operational and an immense threat if the IDn gets hold of it. Rose begins to think that leaving Protection Center 8 via the portal is a reasonable option and considers it thoroughly.
• Rose attempts to get the portal to work using the strange laptop transmitting strange IDn encrypted messages and mentions of an "Replicant Project". The laptop introduces a variable known as a "bearer count" dropping to 0 along a list of samples of 16 different people, including Jill Farkas.
• Although Rose cannot decipher the cryptic nature of the messages, she lets the system run in auto mode before a sudden shock-wave is felt throughout the district.
• Pressed for ideas on what the shock-wave was linked to, Stacey eventually brings them a 16 year old version of Jill that was found wandering about int he district not long after.
• Rose leans that the laptop was patched into a remote facility operating an experimental IDn cloning technology, connecting the dots to what The Replicant Project means. This 16 year old fragile and confused copy of Jill Farkas reveals to them that she does not recall anything of the last 9 years of her life and seems like she could die at any moment.
• Shortly after this 58132 goes missing in action after the portal is mysteriously destroyed by some form of adversary.
• Two signals are picked up by the New Union outpost; one from a group of survivors on the Asian mainland using unknown callsigns, the other from an incoming Infinite Dominion force. From what is comprehensible from the latter transmission, it is assumed the IDn are sending additional forces to Protection Center 8.
• An unidentified individual clad in an unrecognizable yet distinguished uniform hacks the FallFrame, delaying whatever payload it carries, giving the New Union, Rose and James Lanix a chance to escape on the IDn Transport Train.

Early 2021: Flux Theorem Chapter 4 - Incursion 45

• After crashing the train in a very desolate and barren Protection Center 45, 37383, Rose and some other survivors emerge from the rubble, scanning the area for any hostiles. After clearing out of the tunnels below, the team of New Union and survivors sets up a temporary outpost in a nearby bar.
• The New Union team attempts to re-establish lost connection to CmD's Stronghold from here but need to boost their signal somehow in order to get it working.
• 37383 encounters Stacey again, taking her into custody, but after a long interrogation process tires of her antics and leaves her for dead in the dark of the train tunnel after shooting her in the leg.

• 37383 is assisted by Rose Darion, making contact with 08292 who states a New Union strike force will be retaking the area within a week.
• The New Union opens their assault with a significant barrage of rockets and artillery, breaching the city's perimeter, before deploying ground forces.
• Sword Divisional Leader 38074 moves into the area, capturing an APC garage near the Nexus for use as a forward operating base.
• The major ground fighting ends in under 4 hours before artillery barrages begin targeting the shield blocking access to the Nexus.
• 37383 takes Rose Darion and the Jill clone into protective custody as ordered by 08292.
• Rose Darion is sent to New Union Headquarters, where she is examined medically by 08292 and the Vice DvL. They discover that her physicality has been altered somehow and that she has received and unidentified full body augmentation of some kind. Nonetheless 08292 has her chipped with a variable MBI actuator prototype and brought into the Operative sleeper agent initiative, then sent back to Protection Center 45 with William Anderson. Although Rose is chipped, she is unaffected by cognitive manipulation tactics used on other Operatives.
• Victor Sinclaire, also known as EpU 84674 arrives in the city and meets up with 37383, describing his experience traversing the badlands from Dominion Capital to Protection Center 45.
• Rose is confronted by Infinite Dominion HAF Troopers carrying a strange weapon that seems intrinsically designed to extract something from her. These units address her as Anomaly 228 before the weapon reveals an X-Ray-like scan of her abdomen which appears to be entirely robotic in nature. Before the IDn are successful in their extraction, they are suddenly terminated by 58132 who re-appears in the city wearing the armor of the adversary that destroyed the portal.
• 58132 describes the adversary as someone known as "Aether", some form of android allegedly from another reality entirely. Further explanation reveals that 58132 was not human and through a mystic set of events was made into something known as an "ANI". Somehow, 58132 was transferred to Aether's body, taking it over entirely once she was destroyed by Aether.
• Andrew Davis meets with Rose, having a discussion about distrusting the New Union before leaving the city.
• IDn activity begins to increase in the city, starting with the death of an Internal Watch unit. New Union Ascension patrols begin encountering enemy units that they are unable to terminate, despite their best efforts.
• Upon hearing reports that the IDn will soon be sending a large force to Protection Center 45 to eliminate the New Union forces in that area, 08292 orders an immediate evacuation of all New Union personnel from the area.
• A Shadow team deposits a Soviet-era nuclear device fitted with a remote detonator somewhere in Protection Center 45 during the evacuation process. 58132, 84674, Rose Darion, and A New Union Ascension unit attempt a last-minute operation to breach the Nexus, but fail to do so, and are forced to evacuate.
• All New Union forces evacuate the area. The nuclear device is detonated remotely, and the explosion sets off a chain reaction in the nearby Nexus' dark matter reactors. Protection Center 45 is practically wiped from existence as a result.
• Evacuees from Protection Center 45, both civilian and New Union, are sent to New Union Headquarters for processing and/or debriefing.

Mid 2021: Flux Theorem Chapter 5 - Clear Skies

• Unit 37383 leads a team consisting of himself, 84674, Rose Darion, a Shadow 01, and a Grid 03 into the outlands under direct orders from 08292 himself. They find 00707 and bring her back to New Union Headquarters.

• Things began to quiet down, Jim Tenma, Rose Darion, and Stacey Miller settled into Protection Center 11 after all of their weapons were confiscated while their trust was probationary.
• With the Commander busy, 58132 opts to commence work on some security around the Protection Center.
• 84674 makes contact with Aether, taking a large blow to the mask, incapacitating him before fleeing into the Protection Center 11 Sewer system. The New Union discover her conversing with Stacey Miller, taking note of her glowing white optics, pristine futuristic armor and robotic voice.
• Aether was forced into custody after dispatching two Ascension units, afterwards attracting the attention of The Comander. After revealing her name, she disclosed knowledge only the Commander knew and even more.
• The Commander took interest in Aether, speaking with her privately about who she was and where she came from causing strange unexplained feelings within the Commander.
• Something about Aether was beyond confusing to the Commander as she began to induce visions in him after, making physical contact. These visions were unexplained, full of failure, widespread death and suffering, usually involving him and her in some other reality.
• The way she seemed to know a lot more than any other person about the state of the world and the IDn's Paradigm Contingency intrigued the Commander immensely, however in order to avoid clashing with Judge, he placed Aether in an enclosed and restricted area in the VICE Center. After studying her for a few days, the Commander learns how complex her systems are, not knowing whether he should trust her or not. How much she knew about The Infinite Dominion seemed rather strange to him.
• Aether eventually finds the Commander who seems disappointed and angered about her wandering openly around the New Union HQ but as she talks to him, a strange unexplained force about her calms him.
• Aether's peculiar armor - particularly the helmet's optics - turned a rose red hue before The Commander she uttered "I'm happy to see you..." in a strange and disconnected fashion. When confronting Aether about it, she explains that her systems have been experiencing oddities she refers to as "inconsistencies".
• Meanwhile, Stacey Miller, is processed for any relevant information, she eventually details intel about Jill Farkas being a clone of some kind but doesn't really go beyond that.
• On the same morning of Stacey's processing, an IDn assassin unit clad in a darker variant of armor was discovered operating within the UCS laboring district of the Protection Center. It was immediately brought into custody, later revealing that it believed it was someone known as Jill Farkas.
• Aether later takes interest in this, assisting The Commander in researching the dilemma by running psycho analytical diagnostics on the subject. After verifying the unit was not lying, and given what they have learned of the cloning business with Jill Farkas, it appeared to be some form of shoddy or incorrect Replicant Project cloning sequence from a nearby facility.
• Aether explains that in spite of retaining extensive knowledge on the IDn and their existence in her data storage, she cannot identify this clone. Showing the Replicant a firearm activated a sequence of aggression similar to 08292's Operatives, before Jill Farkas compliments his intuition by revealing she is a sleeper agent of some kind.
• The shoddy Jill Farkas clone then threatens to initiate some form of self destruct sequence before Aether protects the Commander and destroys the Replicant. Afterwards she realizes that Jill's memory sequence was already uploaded to a nearby cloning facility.
• Aether makes very clear that the IDn could not have retained knowledge of Jill's Location or the entire New Union Headquarters would have been destroyed in the time she arrived.
• The Commander sees potential in Aether after all of this, in spite of perpetual skepticism about her nature.
• Aether has her identity concealed, taking on the role of a previous OfC officer that has passed away in the area, 43731. This causes a bit of disgruntlement throughout the Internal Watch, who take caution with Aether's presence.
• Aether begins running scans on the city, discovering some kind of chemical compound showing similar traits to asbestos but causing corrosion and other strange unknown effects.
• Upon revealing this to the Commander and showing one of her uses, the Commander fills her in on a dangerous project that took place within Protection Center 11 involving a virus that failed, infecting several and soon after hundreds of Xectites, mutating them into a different strain dubbed "Type-Beta" by the IDn.
• Earlier Aether tells The Commander that she was in need of an active A.C.M device from a PRC unit in order to save 58132's mind which was being held in captivity within Aether's systems. Aether later explains that it will take too much time to construct an A-Tier Anon Catalyst with the limited resources.
• The Commander tells Aether where she can find a PRC unit and allows her to participate within a SHADOW operation in retrieving a nearby signal of a Fall Frame pod which landed near one of the coastal regions outside of Protection Center 11.
• Aether, now unofficially registered as unit 43731 in the New Union begins conducting various forms of unconventional research around the the city, putting to use different functions of her systems. This raises a lot of commotion and surprised from the New Union Millitary, Civilians and UCS workers.
• Jim Tenma experiences his first encounter with Aether, noticing things he somehow recognizes about her, as if he has seen her before somewhere else.
• Rose Darion has her initial encounter with Aether, discovering she is not an average OfC unit. Aether seems to recognize something in Rose, pertaining to her modifications.
• Trouble stirs up within the New Union Internal Watch as Aether was apparently not made apparent by the Commander to them, 94267 particularly does not take kindly to this.
• Aether is later detained by the Internal Watch for a time, interrogated and then released by the Commander who uncharacteristically apologizes to her.
• Another encounter with Aether leads Rose to believe there is more to her than meets the eye.
• Aether and 00707 meet for the first time, making favorable first impressions on one another before 00707 notices there is something unusually sophisticated about Aether.
• Later there is an intruder within the New Union that somehow infiltrates the Nexus claiming Jill Farkas is his "Property". Afterwards the intruder seemingly dissipates at a molecular level, vanishing before Jill Farkas and Rose Darion are immediately put into questioning.
• The Commander has Jill Farkas scanned for any sort of implants the intruder may have made but none were discovered by Aether, as the technology was foreign even to her.
• Rose Darion stirs, punching Aether in the face unintentionally, exposing her rather robotic face for the first time, afterwards she is tasked to receive a new suit and investigate the intruder. Rose's feat of strength is enough to make Aether question further into the truth about what Rose's true identity.
• 84674 discusses something rather profound with 00707 about Rose Darion and himself somehow being inhuman.
• As 00707 slowly begins to learn more and more about th underlying truth about Rose Darion and 84674, she directly confronts Rose Darion herself on the matter.
• Aether informs The Commander of her findings on the mysterious intruder, determining they were in no way connected to the Infinite Dominion Paradigm Contingency.
• Aether and 00707 have a very meaningful conversation on top of the Protection Center 11 HQ Bridge. Here 00707 learns about the advanced capabilities of Aether and that there is much much more to her than just OfC status.
• Aether enlightens 00707 on the reality of the current world, and all of the troubles it currently faces. There is also talk of humanity and how the Infinite Dominion has stolen it from units, and what it means to truely be human. Aether speaks about how the Infinite Dominion does not understand emotions and how to deal with the nuances of human nature as a result. The question of what it means to be human lapses through 00707's mind before Aether theorizes whether or not it goes beyond physicality.
• Aether speaks about something the IDn kept secret from units called the U.A.D and its profound effect on 00707, going into detail about its ways of swaying and indoctrinating the mind, repressing feelings and making them feel that what they do for the Infinite Dominion is inherently correct.
• After an inconsistency from Aether's systems spiking a recording of some kind, 00707 questions exactly who she is, and Aether explains she is something called a Valkyrie created in a different reality.
• A conflict between The Commander and Rose erupts, a fight ensuing between them. At first, Rose Darion is unsuccessful, but later as Rose shifts in a mass of red energy, the tides turn on the Commander as he is beaten and bested.
• Aether shows concern for The Commander, explaining to him that there is something about Rose Darion she still needs to investigate, and that Rose Darion never intended for this to happen.
• Afterwards, The Commander receives a vision of sorts of many of his best surrounding him dead with Aether by his side before telling Aether to stay away from him before locking himself in stasis for some time.
• Aether seems distraught about this for some reason and causes a lot of confusion with the UCS and Internal Watch.
• Later Aether converses with the SHADOW Division after a signal of PRC origin is located near the coast of France. Aether warns a very boastful and foolish Shadow unit of the PRC's power, and their ability to learn and overcome their enemies. The Shadow unit is unconvinced later leaving.
• The Commander suddenly surprises Aether, showing up out of the blue. Initially he is concerned about her being some form of Insurgent Android or Infinite Dominion Synth, but after a long discussion and clarification, something leads the Commander away from those thoughts. Seeing use in her again he tasks her with the Shadow unit on an operation to recover the A.C.M.
• After this conversation it is clear Aether sees much more in The Commander than the average person.
• During the A.C.M Recovery operation, the Shadow unit is killed by a PRC unit described by Aether as a Paradigm Trooper. Afterwards, Aether is able to defeat it and recover the A.C.M in working order.
• When Aether returns, 58132 appears to be close to eradication, causing her to act very hastily, breaking New Union property in the process. In the end 58132's systems were successfully transferred into the A.C.M and she was saved however, The Commander and the rest of the Internal Watch and New Union were extremely displeased, placing her in detainment.
• 00707 sees something in Aether the others aren't able to at the moment and gives Aether a chance at explaining herself. Later Aether is able to explain to the Commander who exactly she is and what is going on at a quantum level in the universe. In the end, though reluctantly, the Commander finds himself trusting Aether with this as her case adds up in the end.
• After 58132 is secured and released from Aether's systems, she discovers that somehow Rose Darion and even 84674 belong to her somehow, potentially created by her as she realizes they have systems similar to her. She exclaims they are something known as Valkyries, a technology from a different reality.
• Making use of an Old HELIX Facility in the New Union Headquarters, Aether is able to re-purpose the place into a very profound technological center which she uses to construct a Valkyrie framework for 58132, explaining later to the Commander that unit 58132 is an important asset in defeating the Paradigm.
• After much thought and a formed bond with 00707, Rose Darion decides to join the New Union as unit 75118.
• 00707 and Aether meet and further discuss details about 00707's life and also about Aether's and what organization she was from. Aether explains that the Infinite Dominion Paradigm also existed in the reality she was from and the organization which created her were bent on stopping them and intilling as much detail and knowledge recovered about the Paradigm as possible to kickstart a method earlier to defeat them by sending Aether back. Aether explains that time theory works as an overwrite and the only constant that retained information was Aether.
• Slowly, Rose and 84674 begin to realize who they are in relation to Aether as they discover more and more about who she is. Aether continues production on 58132's Valkyrie and eventually she is activated and returned into the New Union
• Later Rose is tried for treason after a sparing session with 84674 leaves him without his arms. Aether explains to them that Rose has something integrated in her systems acting as a defensive companion of sorts called an ANI (Airwave Net Intelligence) much like 58132 but not the same kind. It was explained to have engaged some sort of defensive parameter which ended in something Rose hadn't yet learned to control in her systems.
• After a lot of assurance, the Commander decided to leave Rose under Aether's supervision as 84674 was tended to in Vice and his arms were restored as Augments.
• Later on, after The Commander develops a high degree of trust in Aether, he appoints her as the leader of the Wild Card units around such as 84674, Rose Darion and 58132.
• Aether begins to continue research on Jill Farkas, learning that her mind functions on some sort of timed upload being carried to some sort of facility where her body can be restored upon death and the memories she has learned. Aether also notes there can only be one active entity at once. Upon realizing this Aether severs the ties to the upload state effectively making Jill Farkas her own self again and not some machine or tool. Jill is reluctant at first but over time she gains trust in Aether.
• After much time passes Aether learns that Jill's sleeper agent functions are slowly diminishing as her mind slowly takes over the system and reaches meta stability. The Commander is not informed about this right away and in the end there is a lot of confusion and speculation about Jill.
• Someone that was previously known as a Rogue named Sword enters the city. She is tried and put under surveillance until being released and allowed to do as she pleases given it does not infringe upon the New Union.
• Later an outbreak of sorts happens as the SHADOW-DvL loses his temper on Sword, causing an unnecessary conflict leaving Sword as the accused and SHADOW-DvL clear of all charges. This is simply based on the fact that SHADOW-DvL was wounded.
• Aether further investigates this, as Sword is made an HVT. Knowing SHADOW's intentions Aether is able to conclude that it was a rather unnecessary conflict. Sword is found hiding within the Aether's Wild Card facility where the other Wild Card unit stays. Aether doesn't see a problem with this and allows her to stay there despite being an HVT.
• Later The Commander learns of this and is extremely displeased accusing her of keeping information of an HVT from him even though that wasn't the intention. Commander is not reasonable with the situation and makes this very clear to Aether. After a very large scolding Aether feels rather emotional about the situation and continues research on it. Sword is no where to be found afterwards.
• Soon thereafter Aether and Internal Watch Enforcer 37383 are able to track down Sword noticing she infiltrated the New Union's ranks somehow as a VICE 02. After extensive trial and an amputation of Sword, in the end Aether is able to conclude it was something started by the SHADOW-DvL. The Commander, furious with the situation and the SHADOW-DvL sends the Shadow for processing in the Internal Watch and then takes Aether aside.
• After apologizing to Aether for his behaviour earlier the Commander leaves Sword with the Wild Card division allowing her into the New Union.
• After a long while word gets to Rose from a Doctor Chavez who had infiltrated the city that someone named Jenny Lanes was potentially alive and looking for her, pointing her in the direction she could find her. Not so long after this, it was discovered by Aether that the Infinite Dominion were dangerously close the Protection Center 11 Headquarters.
• Aether decides to task 58132 with leading a beacon east away from Protection Center 11 whilst Rose finds her friend.
• After a few days Rose is recovers her friend Jenny Lanes in a horrible state. The Beacon was a success and the Infinite Dominion were lead away form the vicinity.
• Jenny Lanes later passes away from Lewy Body dementia leaving Rose in turmoil.
• Later an intruder similar to the man that has dissipated many weeks prior infiltrates the HQ Nexus Detainment. She warns 37383 that Jill Farkas is her property and her organization will send the Infinite Dominion towards Protection Center 11 afterwards.
• Jill Farkas it put up on death row afterwards, the New Union not wanting to deal with her, but Aether is opposed to this for valid reasoning considering Jill Farkas is no longer in control of them and if she dies, so does her memory that hasn't been uploaded.
• Aether explains Jill Farkas' case and she is spared, later the intruder returns and threatens to expose their location. Aether is displeased with this and for the first time shows hostility, terminating the intruder.
• Aether explains the 58132 after going into a lock up state that there was a signal released that will lead the Infinite Dominion to Protection Center 11 if they do not evacuate with her soon.
• The New Union continued to grow in strength. Vagrant synth units began to be reclaimed. A number of research projects were put into motion, including several very specific and top-secret initiatives ordered by the Commander himself. Union Civil Support was officially established as a civilian branch of the New Union, decreasing the work load of the enlisted units.
• After the inexplicable incident with the intruder, the Commander comes to the conclusion that the Infinite Dominion will close on Protection Center 11 in relatively short order. He orders an acceleration of the time-frame for the North American deployment. 00707 and a team of Internal Watch are sent overseas to command the deployment, and serve as a New Union command council in case of emergency. The Commander evacuates his forces from Protection Center 11, emptying all computer networks and redistributing all materiel assets to other outposts as he does so. Most of the New Union is redistributed to various outposts, while the Commander took Farkas and the DvLs and withdrew with a significant force of units to an old Union production facility hidden in the Ural Mountains.

Late 2021: Flux Theorem Chapter 6 - Phantom Riddle

• A New Union aircraft is shot down by members of The Coalition over the ruins of Protection Center 33.
• The downed New Union team makes contact with their assailants, and somehow things are resolved peacefully.
• Aether is sure the signal was released properly overseas.
• Aether makes contact with someone known as Phantom, unlocking some inconsistencies in her systems pertaining to someone known as Zero.
• A New Union operative makes contact with the stranded team and helps make arrangements to extract them to an FOB north of the city. During the evacuation proceedings, Aether is shot by an unseen assailant as the rest of the team is forced to retreat by a swarm of Xectites.
• Nick Bradford awakes in canals near the New Union FOB, not remembering how he ended up there. He heads south to what was once New York City, but flees west when he sees a large New Union force entering the area.
• New Union forces move into Protection Center 33 and begin work on constructing a base there. They also sweep the area looking for Aether.
• Shadow units finally track down the location of the Liberation Front base at Vale Technology. The New Union deploys a full battalion of troops, along with heavy air and ground support. The battle is fiercely fought by both sides, but ends in the crushing defeat of the Liberation Front forces. A garrison is left behind to secure the facility.
• As the New Union expeditionary force in North America begins setting up outposts, they bump into Coalition forces more and more frequency. Tensions rise and skirmishes occur occasionally.
• The New Union completes communications systems in Protection Center 33 and the canal FOB. They regain contact with the main New Union force, and 08292 dispatches additional reinforcements and supplies to North America.
• 08292 travels to North America to personally inspect the progress of a few key outposts. Upon receiving word of a potentially impending war between the New Union and Coalition forces, he requests a meeting with the Coalition's leader. After some very tense negotiations, the Coalition leader agrees to join the New Union, and the Coalition becomes redesignated as the New Union Vanguard. However, word of this decision takes time to reach all Coalition forces, and tensions persist for a time.
• 08292 leaves behind an Honor Guard unit, 94267, at the canal FOB. This unit later takes command of a team including 37383, 58132, 84674, and a few others and deploys to the west to search for Aether.
• Type B Xectites of unknown origin strike at the canal base, inflicting relatively minimal casualties. They then disappear to parts unknown before the New Union is able to mount a counter-attack.
• The team discovers a pre-war bunker near Charterville, Ohio. There is evidence that it had been previously occupied by the Coalition, but that it had been abandoned for some time. They find Aether within what passed for a research lab and contact Protection Center 33.
• The New Union deploys reinforcements and supplies to the Charterville outpost. The area begins to be built up to act as a regional headquarters for New Union movements west, and is designated as WES_1.
• A Shadow team is deployed to reinforce the outpost. The team takes over an abandoned Infinite Dominion outpost north of the main New Union outpost.
• Remnants of the Type B Xectite horde attack the base. They are repulsed by New Union forces, and those that survived scattered in many directions.
• Two militants of unknown affiliation enter the area looking for supplies to repair a vehicle. Local New Union forces encounter the militants, but most units pay little attention to them, as they are preoccupied with building their regional headquarters. The two eventually find what they seek and depart to the west.
• Nick bumps into Rose. Confused by her new allegiance, he asks if anyone else from the old days survived, before heading west once again.
• The western outpost WES_1 is redesignated as a regional headquarters for the New Union, and becomes WES_HQ. It is heavily supplied with fortifications. An Airwatch base and a communications facility are also constructed.
• 94267 supposedly exerts sudden signs of disdain, abandoning WES_HQ for some reason. During her escape 37383 announces her a traitor over the radio and several units engage. She manages to get away relatively unharmed. Airwatch and scanners are dispatched to track her down, but they lose contact of her as she heads west.
• A schism begins throughout some of the JUDGE units, made prevalent by 3 other units leaving around the same time as 94267.
• JUDGE Divisional, 00707, is tasked by CmD to personally hunt down and kill 94267 for her apparent desertion of the New Union.
• SHADOW reconnaissance teams scouting further west for a plausible front line location for WES_2, inform JUDGE of a settlement discovered on the fringe of Northern Indiana. Their report details a particular structure of questionable architecture brandished with an even more questionable insignia. It was assumed something of scientific or old world governmental nature.
• With clues of 94267's whereabouts being found in a similar direction, JUDGE Divisional 00707 assembles a front-line expansion team and sets out in that direction.
• The New Union continues its push to the west, establishing the WES_2 outpost near a small town of survivors known as Debalk. The town's leadership meets with the New Union, and peaceful relations are established.
• JUDGE Divisional 00707 discovers the Elkros facility, along with an advanced artificial intelligence being harbored there.
• Nick Bradford enters the area looking for someone, nearly freezing to death in the process. He is rescued by some of the townsfolk.
• A large group of autonomous synth units attacks the settlement. The New Union moves in to its defense, but much of the town is destroyed in the ensuing battle. The survivors are brought to live near the New Union's operations.
• Rose Darion is arrested, having been spotted associating with 94267, along with other questionable activities. She is put into stasis and sent back to the New Union headquarters.

Early - Mid 2022: Flux Theorem Chapter 7 - The Rend

• JUDGE unit 37383 is deployed with a team to build a new outpost further west, near a Vanguard recon base.
• CmD 08292 begins interrogating Rose Darion, but is interrupted by several unknown renegade units, who manage to break Darion out. She manages to barely escape the detention block, securing a chopper and escaping. Before long New Union Airwatch surveillance takes notice of the unauthorized flight and shoots her down not long after. Search teams eventually find the chopper but Darion and the other units aren't to be found. 08292 eventually calls off the search.
• Additional New Union forces and materiel are deployed to North America. Requests for reinforcement made by the Western Expeditionary Detachment are delayed, as most of reinforcement is staged at WES_HQ, with plans to move on Protection Center 35.
• 08292 puts out command orders for three new initiatives. One of these orders creates a militaristic division of the UCS, forming an officer group to help oversee Vanguard operations and New Union aligned settlements. Another order increased the number of GRID recovery operations, with new intel indicating additional locations abandoned by the IDn, Liberation Front, and pre-war organizations that might contain useful technology, materials, and archives. The last of the new initiatives was geared primarily towards the North American garrison, ordering an increase in efforts to convince locals to align with the New Union.
• Rose Darion's escape is made public however she is not listed as a defined traitor to the public.
• Meanwhile Aether continues to develop several projects for the New Union, in particular, a life prolonging micro machine called the Zo. After many tests she grows closer to streamlining this particular enhancement throughout the UCM forces. With the help of her specially assigned Valkyr Research Team consisting of many high performing VICE, GRID and UCS, she also pushes a project they have been working on into action; The Valkyr Troop.
• 18102, one of the newer frontline VICE units begins establishing a VICE wing in the new stronghold. He also starts to investigate the outside area on his own accord, stumbling across someone he recognizes.
• 84674 and Aether remain in contact about the initiation of the Valkyr Troop following the finalization of the AFP armor systems that 84674 had been working on.
• Aether makes her way to WES_3 to run analysis on the PROBE Compound and establish a Valkyr Research Team there. Afterwards she returns to WES_HQ with 47404, one of the first candidates for the VT initiative.
• Before Aether's departure, she urges 00707 to lead WES_3 on the front lines and 00707 obliges this request.
• A few days pass since 47404's procedures and him and Aether return. 47404 is outfitted with a new SWORD AFPS armor along with alterations to his body with instructions from Aether until training my commence.
• 47404 begins receiving light training and understanding of his new VT pathway from 84674.
• After weeks of building up the newly established outpost and several rampant attacks from within the compound, the frontline force discovers the base is not simple to take over. After a few LATC are sent overhead to investigate they are taken down by some kind of dark energy super weapon on the Gateway Arc that vaporizes them.
• Aether analyses the super weapon and deduces it guards a circular radius, designed to protect the PROBE Compound from incoming airborne targets.
• The outpost WES_3 is established within the ruins of St Louis Missouri. It encounters a compound manned by autonomous IDn forces. An attempt is made to breach the compound, and the New Union are able to push a short distance into the perimeter before being forced back out again. Planning for another attempt begins immediately following the conclusion of this failed operation.
• Protection Center 35 is captured with relatively little incident. Work begins on restoring parts of it to a usable state. Similar work continues in Protection Center 33 as the garrisons and civilian settlements there continue to grow.
• Internal Watch begins to investigate the conspiracy revolving around Rose Darion's escape. They also inform Aether of the Commander's orders to attempt to track her down as well.
• A growing schism between the JUDGE division and the rest of the New Union progresses. 00707 and 58132 further their surgical discussions on New Union morale along with certain old world flaws revolving around it as a result.
• Nick Bradford and someone less than ideal to him stumble into each other somehow and for whatever reason, they begin to tolerate one another. Their paths continue to intersect until they end up cooperating and surviving together.
• 84674 follows a lead on Nick Bradford eventually making contact with and exchanging fire with him. Nick Bradford's accomplice is suspicious to 84674 and he believes it may be the traitor the New Union are looking for. Nick Bradford gets away in the end.
• Rumors of the NCS that attacked Debalk begin to crop up around WES_3 following EpU investigation of Dave Stewart, an elderly resort owner surviving in the area. Dave describes something that looked like a walking man crayfish. Evidence of this NCS is also derived from the amount of audio readings monitored in the area.
• A strange vagrant OfC of many names fashioning black armor starts trouble with the New Union.
• Nick Bradford along with a disguised 47404 are attacked by what Nick Bradford's "friend" describes as an NCS. Nick Bradford discovers that his "friend" is actually an Ex-Internal Watch and goes through an immense moment of confliction nearly killing her. In the end she reasons with him enough and he decides to let her live but discontinues following her shortly after.
• Improvements on STORM unit systems are rolled out to the entire STORM force. The upgrade increases autonomy and tactical effectiveness of the elite-level units, as well as tested the effectiveness of such improvements, in the hopes of further upgrades being made to the entire Ascension force.
• Eventually WES_3 is put on high alert following a dark energy controlled blast of sorts that nearly ruptures the entire frontal fortification. 00707 locks everything down and has everyone take cover underground. Soon the area is ambushed by several rampant forces until WES_3's above ground HAF defense force is cleaned out.
• 00707, 58132, 37383 and 84674 eventually investigate the aftermath finding the base relatively intact still. Unfortunately they learn that they stepped into what turns out to be the NCS's trap. The large Autonetic manages to incapacitate 37383 and every other unit including 00707.
• Suddenly Rose Darion crash lands a chopper into the base and faces this NCS alone. She struggles initially but begins to learn her opponent enough completely destroy it using a piece of chopper blade.
• Rose Darion brings all fallen units to safety and begins to aid them in recuperation until she takes off into the ruins of the city.
• 00707 and 37383 are sent back to WES_HQ for intensive medical procedures until they can be redeployed.
• The NCS possesses a fail-safe that burns all of its internal components with pulse energy. The remains of it's corpse are sent back to WES_HQ for analysis performed by Aether nonetheless.
• Rose Darion explores St Louis within the region of WES_3 along with the PROBE Compound, keeping well within the vicinity of the New Union stationed there.
• Someone keeps a close eye on the situation of Rose Darion, attempting to track her down.
• Phantom contacts Rose and they meet and have a philosophical discussion about Rose's situation along with the future of the world in regards to the New Union and Unity.
• Aegis, after being freed from the NCS seeks out insight from Phantom when Rose Darion's conversation is finished on something of a troubling matter.
• New Union and Vanguard forces mount a more coordinated strike against the compound. They succeed in breaching the compound with minimal casualties. Sword EpU 33974, acting WES_3 commander at the time, perishes in the attack.
• New Union forces gain control of the compound. Grid teams are deployed to investigate the compound's purpose and get it back into a useful state.
• Unknown armed figures are spotted by New Union scanners scavenging near the abandoned National Guard post. They withdraw from the area before further investigation can occur.
• Additional New Union troops are deployed to North America from Europe. Over a period of several months, all personnel and materiel are evacuated from Eurasian territories. To hold all the additional manpower and resources, work picks up on fixing Cities 33 and 35, and more outposts are formed.
• Nick and the individual he has been traveling with head west. They encounter a well-armed group wearing protective gear. After some discussion and attempts at de-escalation by Nick, they exchange fire with the group. Some are killed, while others retreat to positions with more cover. Nick takes one of their rifles and some ammo before the group mounts a counter attack. This separates him and his companion and drives them out of the area.
• 00707 and a team of several other units deploy via aircraft carrier team into deeper parts of "The Rend", following up on an unknown signal they had received coming from the west at a national guard base. A sudden radiation storm hits the aircraft, causing them to suddenly disappear of the radar, malfunction and crash. Significant casualties are inflicted on the away team. Survivors take shelter in a ruined apartment complex in what used to be a city. 
• Upon surveying the area, the realize they have become virtually trapped within a pocket of radiation and without help from locals in the area that they will not be finding a way out. Speaking with members of a very rundown shantytown called Smileyberg, 00707 and the team realize they're somewhere in Kansas. They realize the reason they lost contact to the other aircraft carrier is due to the fact that it's still somewhere in Missouri. They were teleported via quantum rupture.
• The surviving units are assailed by Xectite and exodytic threats for some time before being able to force them back and keep them at bay. This uses up a significant amount of their remaining ammunition supply.
• Drones of unknown origin begin patrolling the area. Some of them are armed, and fire upon surviving units. Some units fire back.
• Continuing to make his way west, Nick Bradford finds an abandoned Liberation Front outpost. He takes what supplies are left, as well as a captured Ghost uniform, which he would begin to wear.
• The surviving units retreat to a cave in the northeast that had been a dwelling for several Riftients.
• Nick Bradford makes it into the area, finding a shelter. He later investigates the cave, discovering the New Union survivors. He concocts a cover story of being a former Ghost unit, and is generally believed. He visits the cave a few times, eventually discovering his former companion. Frustrated to find her apparently settling with those she claimed to hate so much and questioning her motives, he ends their relationship and sets off on his own.
• A Riftient begins a weeks-long journey back to Protection Center 33 to inform them of the surviving units in need of rescue.
• After several weeks, the Riftient arrives. Though less than enthused with the messenger, 37383 was more than willing to accept the message, and deployed a rescue team along the stated path. The team ultimately recovers 00707 and the other survivors.
• Additional plasma-based weaponry variants are developed by Grid Division, based on prototype weapons platforms initially created by 58132.
• 00707 recalls all available Judge units to Protection Center 33. Following this meeting, the Judge Division is disbanded on an official level, and 00707 is reassigned to the role of Sword DvL.
• Sword EpU 62617, acting WES_HQ commander while 37383 was away, loses most of a strike force he sent to deal with a militia that had been harassing convoys. This militia was presumed to be motivated by a subversive radio show known as "The Pitcast". Further assessment of the situation showed 62617 was issuing questionable and sometimes confusing orders throughout the operation. Upon 37383's return, 62617 is castigated for his tactical incompetence. 37383 later requests to have 62617 cycled out for another, more capable second in command.
• Rose Darion's Virus gets the better of her, unleashing an uncontrolled fury upon Sector Delta of New Union Headquarters. With the help of intervening units, specifically Liveth, 58132, 47404, 00707, 75122, 095 and Aether, Rose stabilized but heavily damaged.

Late 2022 - Early 2024: Flux Theorem Chapter 8 - False Chroma

• WES_4's interim base discovers several electrical signals amassing from the west and has Vanguard investigate the Bazaar Kansas region.
• At New Union Headquarters, Rose Darion is placed into intensive care when she's released from stasis and put under high level surveillance following the actions brought on by her virus.
• Aether faces immense and unexplained difficulties with the situation, especially so after demonstrating a rapid progression of humanly choice denying her automated system functions with an emotional response. She disappears from her common place of research in the Valkyr research centre.
• Liveth later finds Aether at one of her meditative locations within the UCA Facilities. She is heavily distraught and filled with abnormalities with relation to how Liveth and everyone else has observed her to this point. She speaks cryptically of the changes she is experiencing in a hardly coherent manner herself so Liveth is obscured to their meaning.
• Liveth notices a change in her mannerisms, as her words become more simple and her tone of voice more unpredictable and dynamic. As he observes these things gradually as they meet and discuss certain topics over the course of a few days, he begins to see ahead of the cryptic message of Aether's change.
• Liveth manages to pick up Aether's dampened spirits as they discuss Liveth's origins and other details about the Valkyries.
• Rose Darion is sought out by an unknown figure and convinced to leave the hospital unauthorized with the intention of leaving HQ and setting out alone.
• The Commander issues an attack order on Rose Darion after receiving word of a deadly and uncontrolled episodic outburst of her virus within Sector Delta of New Union Headquarters.
• Donning his new Mk. X Prototype Powersuit, CmD violently attempts to apprehend Rose Darion but meets resistance from one of his Internal Watch units, whom he quickly disposes of.
• 47404 attacks the Commander due to his behavior and flees with Rose Darion.
• Aether is later contacted showing extreme disdain towards the Commander's actions, arguing that he was acting irrationally however in spite of her efforts to verify Rose Darion's cause and true alignment with the Commander, he places both 47404 and Rose on an HVT protocol.
• 00707 faces difficulty dealing with the situation finding trouble surrounding the legitimacy CmD's actions. With further discussion and more evidence uncovered she is able to formulate further more educated conclusions but she is not done with the situation.
• 00707 finds and interviews Aether regarding the situation of what Aether was aware of. Aether presents a response at first of which 00707 can only see as subjective, but soon thereafter is enlightened on surveillance footage and audio feeds detailing CmD's misconduct as a leader. 00707 notes this but is still requires more information.
• 095, 75122, Liveth and Faros are gathered to search for Rose and 47404 following a Vanguard sighting west of HQ several miles. They are able to capture 47404 but are unsuccessful in retrieving Rose.
• Opinions on the Commander's actions are discussed between Aether and VICE DvL as Aether experiences rapid unexplained changes within her systems.
• 47404 is brought back to HQ where he is interrogated, processed and later by popular knowledge, executed by 37383. He bids his farewells respectfully to 00707, 75122 and makes his disappointment in the New Union's instabilities in Command (specifically the Internal Watch) extremely clear.
• 00707's objectivity towards the situation is shifted by her feelings of 47404's wrongful execution. She begins to feel the weight of the situation personally. As a result she decides to dig deeper.
• 58132 meets with 00707 and indirectly discusses the Commander's tyrannical tenancies which begins to draw questions from 00707.
• 75122, filled with anger, considers options, and contemplates the legitimacy of The Commander and his integrity after these actions follow. She has many discussions with 58132 afterwards related to this.
• Divisionals further discuss the Commanders actions after Liveth speaks with 00707 on behalf of what he deemed tyrannical actions out of the Commander. She agrees with mostly everything he has to say and is rather impressed with a side of Liveth she's never known. In the end she decides that the Commander's actions need to be dealt with and begins organizing meetings with each Divisional.
• Concern for Rose Darion's safety and liability are discussed between Liveth and Aether. She manages to convince Liveth that Rose's viral threat was the true reason for her sudden departure as opposed to The Commander's claim that she is treacherous and creates a dissonance with loyalties in others.
• Following work on the Valkyr Troop, Aether is surprised by a sudden appearance of the Commander within her offices where he explains that the Mk. X Powersuit is partially what caused his increased anger, and that testing it was a partial motivation for the actions he took. After a lengthy discussion about Rose Darion, he does not agree what he did was wrong and irrational, concluding that his assessment of the situation is the final word regardless of other arguments with supporting evidence. This worries Aether immensely.
• Aether begins the production of a Valkyr armor module known as the Kinetic Repulsion Bracer which acts as a method of repelling exerted energy back at an enemy. She works closely with a VT Sentinel known as 61575 to further development.
• 00707 and the Divisionals arrange a Command meeting with 08292. Here they discuss the legitimacy of his actions, concluding they were unruly, unjustified and could present a trouble to the populace. 08292 argues that his actions were necessary to prevent further treachery from occurring within the New Union, something he will not tolerate. 00707 and the Divisionals further argue about his effect on citizens and consequences but in the end 08292 abruptly rejects their opinions, deeming he is right. Quickly becoming fed up with the fact that the recent incident is all any of them seem to want to talk about, 08292 verbally lashes out at the divisionals before adjourning the meeting entirely.
• Understanding the direness of the situation, 00707 and Liveth arrange a private escort in order to seek out and find Rose Darion to offer her an isolated refuge to contain her virus. They find Rose Darion within a forest in central Indiana and to their surprise she appears changed by their view. Rose shows dissenting views towards them and argues that they can't be trusted. She also argues that their method of containing her won't work. 00707 and Liveth are extremely let down by this and rebuttal with emotional responses of their own. In the end with a bit of disgruntlement Rose is not recovered and they leave.
• Liveth speaks to Aether regarding Rose's decisions and his opinion is quickly altered by Aether's enlightment on Rose's method and abilities. Liveth sees the faulter in their plan of containing Rose but is hard pressed by it.
• 37383 gathers a team of units together and deploys in pursuit of Rose Darion.
• As improvements are made to the Kinetic Repulsion Bracer's framework, 61575 and Aether continue to train and further it's development within the Valkyr Combat Platform. Later Aether finishes the production.
• Liveth begins to work on a Canon focused around Substance 120 energy.
• Meanwhile Rose Darion gains an audience and eventually a following from survivors around her location. One in particular known as Seth Vail continues to travel exclusively with her as their paths compliment one anothers.
• Rose makes contact with a peculiar individual affiliated with an organization known as the Civil Defense Force, he seems to be headed Westwards in a hurry.
• Later she spots a rather daunting airborne craft of sorts heading west at rapid speeds. The object is later identified by WES_3 and reported back to 00707 at Headquarters.
• Rose and Seth travel west a many miles by use of a hijacked APC and eventually reach an area of significance where they discover and old acquaintance of Rose's, Rigor. Within the particular Valley Rigor details a group of individuals settled up on a ridgeline.
• Later this group is discovered to be a Vanguard outpost known as Delta 51 who takes notice of the few, reporting their appearance back to thew New Union.
• Nick Bradford settles in the area eventually crossing paths with Rose. Due to her armor and APC, he attacks her. He ends up critically wounded in the process. Thankfully Rose recognizes him in time and gets him medical attention quickly.
• In time Rose and Seth uncover a secret about the area surrounding one of the villages as a peculiar Autonetic creature bursts from within an underground base headed west like the other craft Rose spoted before.
• Rose decides to weigh options until she settles with a rather risky yet noble one. She sends Seth, Nick, and Rigor onwards alone, and draws attention to herself. Peacefully, she informs the Vanguard of her origin and the Augur
• After reports are sent back, she is later captured by a Range Commando and put into the Protection Center 33 Security Ward under heavy stasis incarceration.
• 00707 meets with her, and Rose describes the situation to her.
• Additional Vanguard troops are deployed to the eastern bounds of the Rend. A renewed UCM recruitment effort commences. A large Ascension contingent is deployed to WES_HQ, along with additional Airwatch resources.
• A new group of unknown signals breaks through the background radiation of the Rend from time to time. WES_4 is put on alert status for a time, then returns to normal status after not receiving the signals anymore.
• A report from the New Union's Western Command detailing concerns about unknown signals received and activities sighted within the Rend is sent directly to 08292. This report never receives a response.
• October 7th, 2022 - All four DvLs and a significant amount of personnel, including the entire Valkyr unit, defect from the New Union, refusing to take further orders from a Commander they perceive to be completely insane. This mass defection is exacerbated by a broadcast sent by 00707 across Protection Center 33 and much of the northeast. Loyal units attempt to minimize loss of resources and materiel, but a significant amount is still lost.
• 08292 attempts to activate Protection Center 33's 2,800 unit Ascension garrison to secure key facilities, but only the 250 Storm Units respond. Assuming the others to be sabotaged or otherwise controlled, 08292 orders stasis and life support termination for all non-functional Ascension units, presumably to prevent them from being used against him.
• Protection Center 35 and New Union Southern Command report receiving 00707's broadcast, but it appeared to cause relatively few defections compared with the numbers lost from Protection Center 33 and the surrounding area. Communications with the south are spotty, however, with sabotage at Protection Center 33 being presumed as the cause. New Union Western Command went dark altogether immediately after the broadcast concluded. What happened there, if anything, is unknown to all others.
• Rioting quickly begins to break out in Sections B, C, and E of Protection Center 33 over lack of food and other critical supplies. New Union forces pull out of these sections altogether, consolidating in other parts of the city and abandoning entire sections to the rioters.
• Remaining New Union forces across the Northeast abandon various settlements and outposts they have been guarding, consolidating around Protection Center 33 and a few other major bases.
• October 12th, 2022 - 08292 boards a chopper to fly to Protection Center 35. It is shot down towards the midpoint between Cities 33 and 35. Word quickly spreads throughout Protection Center 33.
• Clashes in Protection Center 33 quickly become more violent, and casualties begin to be inflicted on both sides.
• Most of Protection Center 33's remaining Vanguard turn on the remnants of the region's New Union forces in early November of 2022. The once orderly city quickly descends into brutal and chaotic violence, with many civilians caught in the crossfire.
• The New Union defectors are reorganized into the Terra Concord.
• Members of the UCS, Union Logistics, and Vanguard who remained with the New Union begin helping civilian noncombatant refugees to flee the embattled city.
• 37383 orders an immediate recall of all New Union personnel in the Western Command, calling them back to a few major outposts and bases, and abandoning many outlying settlements to their fates.
• A large New Union convoy moves around Protection Center 33, recovering stasis pods, equipment crates, and various devices, and massacring anyone who attempted to interfere. After completing its task, the convoy left the city.
• New Union forces able to evacuate Protection Center 33 began fleeing west or south. A remaining contingent of New Union forces within Protection Center 33 began to become encircled and trapped, unable to leave. Desperate, they draw upon a final contingency that had been worked on for a time before being left unfinished by the Commander known as Operation Scorched Earth.
• Final New Union combat operations in Protection Center 33 largely fail on January 18th of 2023. The Protection Center 33 contingency command council ends, and the city is lost. Many of the few remaining New Union survivors either committed suicide or surrendered to rebel forces.
• The remnants of the New Union substantially increase in their militarism. A new command authority is established, and expansionary plans quickly resume. Unsanctioned settlement raiding ceases, and internal power struggles are forcefully suppressed.
• A Terra Concord team led by Cassandra Welland is dispatched to Protection Center 33 to investigate rumors of a catastrophic incident there. They find the rumors to be quite accurate, and uncover evidence of the huge battle that took place there mere months prior to their arrival.
• Welland's team moves far to the southwest, following up on an unknown signal.
• New Union Western Command forces return to the settlements they had pulled out from. Reception of the return of New Union forces was highly variable. This is coupled with a highly aggressive campaign against various bandit groups operating in the region, and into the eastern edge of the Rend.
• 00707, Liveth, Rose Darion, and Cassandra Welland deploy to the former New Union WES_2 outpost to investigate some technology there.
• A New Union team is deployed to the area not long later, but is destroyed by some type of orbital weapon as they attempted to set up a staging ground. The survivors rally near the long abandoned town.
• A dark energy explosion causes a quantum anomaly, teleporting the Terra Concord team to an unknown island. The New Union survivors are caught up in the anomaly too, though some of them do not survive it.
• A Shadow unit is run down and killed by the Concord team. Other New Union survivors scraped together what they could and set up camp in the center of the island, after being driven from the outskirts of the island by Infinite Dominion troops.
• A Shadow 03 links up with the Concord team, despite some initial suspicion on both sides. As this occurs, the rest of the New Union survivors are engaged by Infinite Dominion forces. The fighting goes on for a time, but when it ends, the Shadow 03 is left as the last New Union soldier still alive on the island.
• The Concord team begins scavenging parts from various places around the island, intending to modify their crawler vehicle to escape the island.
• The group finds their way through an anomaly to an island containing an abandoned facility that had once been occupied by the United States Federal Offworld Threat Response Force. They find evidence of several experiments that had taken place there, including a prototype portal that the Infinite Dominion might seek to make use of.
• Rose Darion stays behind to destroy the reactor and the island along with it. The Shadow 03, using his scope, spots two transports retrieving something from the water. It is presumed to be Darion. The rest of the team makes it back to Terra Concord headquarters, and the Shadow 03 is imprisoned.
• Aether disappears from Concord Headquarters. She is presumed to be searching for 08292, despite his apparent death. A large Terra Concord force is deployed to search for her, starting their search in the vicinity of his crash site.
• January 5th, 2024 - Liveth and a few other Concord soldiers enter the area. They encounter a column of USGF soldiers fighting with Infinite Dominion forces. The soldiers seem successful to some degree at driving back the enemy. Liveth attempts to shape larger diplomacy with now Captain Andrew Davis, but Davis remains largely uninterested and suspicious of Liveth and his men. The Infinite Dominion later push back the USGF with startling speed and firepower, forcing them back. Liveth calls in reinforcements to engage the Infinite Dominion, while surviving USGF troops hastily evacuate the area.
• Division Captain Coleman, Faros, and a few other Concord soldiers investigate a small settlement and the surrounding area for any evidence of 08292 or Aether. Interaction with local settlers reveals a skirmish had occurred nearby relatively recently, and it was possible that 08292 or perhaps Infinite Dominion assailants might have been involved. A mention was also made of troops sighted moving in the woods to the east. The locals' description of the troops led the Concord personnel to conclude they were Judge units.
• The discovery of the scene of a skirmish in which 08292 took down a group of assailants single handedly, coupled with reports of Judge units operating in the area, leads to the deployment of Valkyr reinforcements by the Terra Concord. A team of these Valkyr search the area, finding an old bunker that appeared to be occupied. Eventually, they stumbled upon 08292 as well. Somewhat surprisingly, he simply talks to them, then lets them go on their way. Footage of the meeting is later sent to Concord command.

They left another fireteam of Valkyr to futher investigate Bowervale for clues on Aether's whereabouts and a team of AERO to follow CmD's tracks. the HATC travelled back north to Terra Concord HQ carrying information they could not transmit due to atmospheric interference. Coleman and other officers discuss details involving the discovery of a brand new Valkyrie with the intervening council reps such as DvC. Thatcher for a few hours whilst the rest of the city continues about its usual routine.
• December 23, 2023 - March 8, 2024 - Between the last council meeting and the events that recently took place in Bowervale, the detachment of CAF lead by the three Division Generals has long since set up a temporary airstrip and forward camp in an island not far off the coast of Florida, in the region of the Bermuda triangle. Due to the climate and other factors in the region, dozens of air scouting parties which have been sent out, only to return with no sign of the former research island or the IDn spire. The attitude of the various soldiers in the camp varies. Some are patient and motivated, relaxed by the tropical area and enjoying their time here. Others are growing anxious and wondering when the action will occur, growing tired of sitting idly. Many of the higher ranks make their frustrations known as time progresses. Meanwhile, the soldiers who aren't pilots can only use their free time to keep themselves in shape and their skills sharp. Everyone awaits the news of a successful scouting parties return

• March 11, 2024 - Elliot Parr is contacted by a mysterious outsider within Protection Center 47 following a few civil disturbances pestering the Justice Bureau. He receives a map pointing him northward and is urged to go there immediately.

Liveth informs the Council and Valkyr of Parr’s disappearance while Welland heads after him ASAP.

• March 12, 2024 - After traveling for some time, the blizzards of the northern regions above Toronto made Parr’s signals difficult to track. Likewise, he had a similarly difficult time getting any signals of his own out to anyone. The only thing he had to go off of at this point was the map he was given.

• March 14, 2024 - Welland And Parr agree to help the Archivists lead by Phantom solve their insectoid problem.

• March 30, 2024 - Welland is confronted by Senra, a close companion of Akezera with the intention of killing her.
• April 4, 2024 - After several months without a sighting of 08292, the New Union pulls the bulk of their task force, drawing down the search operation substantially.

• April 7, 2024 - 30082 guides Cassandra, Aljashe, Parr and Moria to the outskirts of Protection Center 28, Nebraska well north of Emporia. Here they find remnants of 30082’s partition battered and killed by some form of local terror. Kaminski, a Valkyr Guardian sent after a previously unknown tracking device installed in Welland’s suit. After a disgruntled first impression, Kaminski becomes a member of the fireteam and alleviates the need for them to find a working radio tower. Cassandra contacts Liveth and notifies him of mission details.

• April 8, 2024 - Kaminski, Welland and Parr move the LATC to a more secure location and set up an encampment site. After 30082 finishes personal business with the company of Aljashe, detonating an old and torn outpost previously controlled by him and his units, the reunite with the rest of the fireteam at the new camp.
• April 10, 2024 - Welland, 30082, and Moria infiltrate the insurrectionist settlement following the execution of 30082’s men. Many of them are killed in part due to Cassandra Welland’s confliction with the mutagen changes, namely its effect on her judgement. Alas via hasty and reactive coordination, Kaminski, Welland, Moria and 30082 were able to secure 3 of his men to safety.

• April 12, 2024 - After a few days of reconciliation, the group is approached by the ARF, and Welland recognizes Nick Bradford as one of the sergeants. They agree to send Kaminski and 30082’s men back to Terra Concord HQ. Aljashe and Welland discuss things about the Sultanate and Aljashe’s people before Kaminski warns him of Liveth’s wrath.

• April 14, 2024 - 2 days pass after Aljashe leads Parr, Welland and 30082 through the desert in search of water. Unfortunately the common oasis Aljashe’s people often used for water has been drained by oil pirates in the area. After a struggle with a detached outpost of said pirates, the crew forms a strategy to defeat the pirate’s stronghold. Successful, the group manages to capture Gondo, the pirate leader and businessman, learning of his dealings with the ARF and gaining intel on various settlements in The Rend.

• April 16, 2024 - After avoiding the likes of a tentacle-like creatures Aljashe dubbed “Sprawl” by the people of The Sultanate, Aljashe, Parr and 30082 become separated from Welland, Moria and Gondo. Afterwards they are lead to a town called Ferisburg when a group of tech foragers are surprise attacked by the Sprawl.

• April 17, 2024 - April 24, 2024 - Aljashe and 30082, after saving Ferisburg, a town augmented by repurposed IDn technology, attract the likes of its Mayor, Mr. Tilson. Tilson extends his gratitude but also tells them of a cult of IDn worshipers occupying a region near their town giving them trouble. Over the next week, Aljashe and 30082 investigate the town, discovering the secrets of its past along with the secrets of this “cult”. After becoming acquainted with Sheela and searching the house of Christian and Jina, Aljashe and 30082 learned of someone mystic in nature called Feris, previous leader of the town. Piece by piece, Aljashe learns more and more of the truth behind Ferisburg’s past, entranced by what he learns later from Historia as Infinity Resonance. Depending on things he interacts with, he experiences similar occurrences in different realities based on objects he touches associated with them. In the end they learn what Ferisburg deems the cult are actually a group of IDnEE mutants known as the Arcast, ones suffering from a starvation-based affliction, causing many of their members to go mad. The Arcast claim a shaded individual who takes many forms has deceived Ferisburg into stealing from them and draining their sources of food, IDnEE Fusion. After communicating with a strange cybernetic tree, Aljashe, 30082 and Parr communicate with a wise Valkyrie known as Historia, one with a recollection of Aether’s history along with other infinities. Aljashe is conflicted by the powers at work, unsure how he could ever trust Aether with the power of the Flux Theorem device but agrees to aid Feris. The Arcast arm Aljashe and 30082 with their weapons and send them down into Feris’ Vault to kill the Derelict Valkyrie. Although Aljashe and 30082 never figure out who the Shaded One is who allegedly caused this mess, they end up discovering the town’s previous leader “Feris” was a Valkyrie. The Arcast and crew are suddenly approached by a line of Terra Concord LATCs, ones lead by Liveth as they continue off westward, leaving Aljashe and 30082 a strange gift of provisions. Armed with an Rewire tool for IDn Technology, Feris’ Hammer, and a helmet enchanted with Arcast energy, 30082 and Aljashe went after them.

• April  25, 2024 - Aljashe and 30082 follow swiftly westward in the direction of the LATCs eventually coming across an old testing base for what looked like Elkros technology. Inside they found Welland, Moria and Gondo. After reuniting, Liveth’s LATC squad approached, tracking Welland’s position after waiting for Aljashe to arrive. Liveth and Aljashe have a discussion, initially heated by the foreknowledge Kaminski suggested, however it quickly cools down once Aljashe learns Liveth was testing him. The group is attacked by a bunch of Sprawl after that and 30082 is severely hurt as a result. Aljashe leads the large Terra Concord platoon to his home hastily to help heal their friend 30082.
• April  27, 2024 - Aljashe leads the Liveth, Welland, Parr while carrying 30082 to his home underground. While waiting for certain arrangements to be made by Aljashe in the interim, the team is forced to deal with a squad of United States Ground Forces. Jumping the gun, Parr begins assaulting them before tactics can be arranged by Liveth or Welland, sparking a large conflict when it turns out the USGF is armed and ready with a platoon of their own, surrounding Parr and Liveth. Liveth attempts negotiations with the USGF lieutenant however Senra from the Sultanate ambushes all of the USGF. Liveth, charged with passion begins fighting Senra in a heated duel until out of nowhere a IDn Skytower crashes down amidst the desert right over the Sultanate City. A very powerful rampant IDn Aunic is seen in a rampage, using Dark Energy and unimaginable speed to dispatch several of their low end infantry before rushing further west. Liveth gets tied up with the Aunic but seems to be outmatched until Welland shows up to try to distract that thing. Welland and Liveth battle the powerful Aunic being until they’re both simultaneously stabbed and defeated with Welland near dead. Several hours later Welland is taken deep into the Sultanate City with her near fatal wounds healed by The Mender with the price of advancing her mutagen progression dramatically.
• April 28th, 2024 - The United States Remnant deploys Ranger Team Charlie to the scene of the previous incident, seeking out who was responsible. Encountering Liveth, Captain Samuel Anders, leader of Charlie Team, delivers a demand for the death of whoever or whatever was responsible for the death of USGF soldiers. While there is a tenuous agreement between the two that the Dominion tower needed to be dealt with, Anders' focus was mostly on the loss of US soldiers.
• April 30th, 2024 - Captain Anders once again appears in the area, demanding results. With Liveth's response proving unsatisfactory to both himself and his leaders, the Battle at Caerus Genetic Studies Site was started. United States forces launched attacks on the Terra Concord's position, the Dominion skytower, and the underground facility thought to be the home of, or in some way connected to, the Scorpion Sultanate. While they damaged the skytower and blasted down into the underground facility, they fared poorly in combat against combined ground and aerial attacks from both the Concord and the Sultanate, and were massacred, with relatively few survivors able to retreat.
• June 1st, 2024 - The Terra Concord successfully makes contact with the New Union. General White speaks with Vanguard General James Hudson, and a truce is arranged. Not long later, a United States Air Guard strike force attacks the Terra Concord directly, on the air and the ground. After taking heavy losses and detonating thermobaric devices against both Concord ground targets and the Dominion skytower, the US forces withdrew.
