Game Timeline
This page is to establish a running archive of important events in the game's history.
If you feel it's important to remember, it should go here.
Email the Council with the name of the events, the characters involved (or the principle players, anyway) and an approximate in-game date that the event occurred. If you can also let us know the date the first post to the thread hit the list, that would be super!
Thank you all for helping us with this project~

- Separation Anxiety, May 10, 2017. Jamie and Yiska are released for Jamie's mission. Yiska is clandestinely picked up by the military for protective custody. Jamie enters the Base.

- Pressure Points, May 12, 2017. Taz is approached by the ATL Cats and asked/told to wear a wire to the meetings with the Council. A literal offer he can't refuse.
- Pressure Points, May 13, 2017 (Posted May 15). Taz calls General Van Zandt, tells him about agreeing to wear a wire, and the threat the ATL Cats had over his head-- they somehow know that two years ago, Taz unintentionally killed his brother when Greg attacked him as Taz tried to help Greg's wife Naomi and her child Maddie escape the abusive relationship. Greg, a member of the ATL Cat gang, infected Taz. The attack occurred before the Great Reveal, so Taz was clueless about what had really happened to himself in that fight. After hearing all this, the General urges Taz to go through with wearing the wire. They can feed the ATL Cats misinformation and even better, trace the transmissions. James secretly takes the scent of Peaches' murderer from her body and vows revenge.

They used his kidnapping and the Sawt's recovery attempts as a training exercise on combat with Cougars. Given the choice of returning to his tribe or staying with Jamie, Yiska chooses to stay with Jamie as they became so closely bonded during their captivity.
