World Timeline

Origin

Something was built here. No one agrees on what, or by whom.

The earliest records reference only "the Work." Every attribution has since been redacted or lost.

First Contact

A signal answered a signal that was never sent.

███ ████████ predated the transmission by ████ seconds. This has █████ been explained.

The Blackout

For eleven days, nothing transmitted. Then everything did, at once.

Recovery teams reported the archive was already awake when they arrived.

Genesis

The WRECKERS come online. The world starts keeping score.

The first operators did not choose to be recorded. They simply were.

The First Broadcast

A voice no one recognized welcomed everyone home.

████████

Sealed until a future chapter opens.

The First Invasion

The night the WRECKERS first crossed the Veil.

The community stood watch as the first breaches opened. Every one was sealed before dawn. Those who were online that night are remembered as the first survivors.

The Blackout

An unknown signal cut power across the archive.

For three days the grid ran on residual charge while the community fought to restore it. Some still say they remember exactly where they were when the lights went out.
