Okay. After some work, I think I've updated our timeline. You can still find it in the usual place, but as a reminder I'm reposting it here. I think most events and major developments are covered and placed correctly, but if you notice errors or omissions please don't hesitate to point them out.
And now for a quick review of ongoing plot and where it rests in relation to the timeline:
1. -- The Belphegor Plot nears conclusion, and is in February 2005. [Las Vegas Thread]
2. -- Vigilante Plot is in May or early June of 2005, but whatever developments occur will still occur before the Alumni of Tomorrow event. [Las Vegas Thread]
3. -- KHI's Troubles are in May or early June of 2005 as well, but whatever developments occur will still occur before the Alumni of Tomorrow event. [Las Vegas Thread]
4. -- [Ties That Bind] is mostly the first half of 2005. Further developments will likely move into the second half of 2005 and so may deal with the consequences of Quantum Remission.
5. -- Slider's Plot is presently in limbo, but Slider approached Solitaire for help in late April, 2005. Phantasm and Impetus also conspired early in the year to put their resources together, both to unravel the sterility issue and find Impetus' missing SO and/or child. And Imp did receive that strange message by way of DeVries this last January. The Aberrant faction is on the verge of being born. [Off the Clock]
6. -- Now that she is suspended from T2M, Suzukaze's Directorate work could be explored further, but probably deserves its own thread or some similar development.
7. -- Exploration of SPACE and early signals related to extra-terrestrial life [Age of Discovery]
8. -- Power loss (or, more clinically, Quantum Remission) and how to stop it is going on in [Full Circle] after the events of Alumni of Tomorrow wrapped up in [Team Vignettes]
9. -- The Adventures of the new T2M:A, something we haven't had much time to work on, probably deserve their own thread but have thus far been in [Headquarters].
So! Plenty to do, and our Arc Plot is well centered on Slider, the Conspiracy, and our growing and present Powerlessness.
Plus ... Dragón? If it wasn't clear, you are definitely welcome to hop into [Full Circle]. I'm eager to get everyone back into the thick of it rather than spiraling into more side-plots.
Anything missing? PM or make requests for plot here!
