Had to act against people who went home from a day of trying to kill the rest of us and cooked a nice dinner, oblivious to just how fucked they were in the head.  People who were otherwise good, who got warped on a fundamental level, left open to the preaching and the incitement of their angrier neighbors.  Two years of fighting before we got the word down from on high, that they couldn’t rehabilitate the ones they’d captured, the ones who’d listened too long.  The poor assholes would play nice until they saw an opportunity, then they’d take it, do as much damage as they could.  Two years fighting good people who’d been convinced they had to throw their lives away fighting an enemy that didn’t exist.  So we closed the perimeter, bombed them out, herded them and gunned them down.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/07 Excerpt] from [[Cell 22.2]]</ref>

It wasn’t just blood leaking out of my torn up knuckles, but there was the darkness too, like wisps of really black smoke.

The worst days had been back in my first year at high school, when the wounds of Emma’s betrayal were still fresh and I wasn’t yet experienced enough to anticipate the variety of things they could come up with.  Back then, it had been terrifying, because I hadn’t yet known what to expect, didn’t know where, when or if they would draw the line.  It had been hard, too, to go back in January.  I’d spent a week in the hospital under psychiatric observation, and I’d known that everyone else had heard the story. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/08/09 Excerpt] from [[Agitation 3.1]]</ref> PRT pays a visit to Taylor, following crisis points procedure, but finds her near catatonic.<ref>Wildbow<br>Generally the PRT will pay visits to likely triggerees - special cases, victims of extraordinary violence or disaster, etc. They paid a visit to Taylor in her hospital room, for example, though nothing came of that.<br><br>[Edit with afterthought: Crisis points, ftr]<br><br>Discreet<br>If she did get visited by a hero, I'd find it odd that she'd never mention it, especially when at one point or another she's fighting them later in the story or stuffing centipedes in their mouth<br><br>Wildbow<br>Taylor was near catatonic when she got a visit. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/44301909/ Wildbow on Discord, archived on Spacebattles]</ref>

*February
**Taylor starts running every morning after Sophia goaded some boys into trying to catch her.<ref>My training regimen had me running every morning, and alternating between more running and doing other exercises in the afternoons, depending on which day of the week it was.  The primary goal was to build my stamina.  In February, Sophia had goaded some boys into trying to catch me, I think the goal had been to duct tape me to a telephone pole.  I had escaped, helped mostly by the fact that the boys hadn’t really cared enough to run after me, but I found myself winded after having run just a block.  It had been a wake-up call that came about just when I was starting to think about going out in costume.  Not long after, I had started training.  After a few starts and stops, I had settled into a routine. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/08/09 Excerpt] from [[Agitation 3.1]]</ref>

*Autumn
**September<ref>The people that had been splintering away were holding position now.  I could see the hostility.

***Victoria interviews with various cape teams, arguing with some Fallen, then visits some sad kids in hospital. At night, broken trigger at a disputed construction site.
***Ten days to two weeks later, Victoria talks to Jessica Yamada about a problem.<ref>It had been ten days, now.  Ten days after the broken trigger with the citizen workers.  One of the worst we’d seen for citizen casualties and damage.<br>[...]<br>I fetched my phone and checked my messages.  A second cancellation from Jessica.<br>[...]<br>To be back on this street, where the car had hit the pillar, and where I’d seen so much grief from one person, and to try and reconcile that with the broken trigger, the ninety dead, the fact that so many were dealing by ignoring it.  Moving on a matter of two weeks after the fact. [[Flare 2.4]]</ref>

*** On the third day after the prison is destroyed, Breakthrough goes ''shopping''.<ref name = "shopshopshop">It had been two days since the prison breakout.  One day to recuperate and lick our wounds.  ...One day for that.  One day to catch our breath after that.  Because recuperating and healing was work.  The second day served to let us ground ourselves again.  Kenzie had maintained contact with people online, but as part of our unofficial, unspoken ‘taking care of ourselves’ day, it made sense that she would take care of herself by reaching out.

This was our day three.  Our day to consolidate. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/23/polarize-10-1/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.1]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*While the divergence point is technically 1980, Scion did not reveal himself until 1982. Which set off a chain of events that led to the distinguishable timelines of Earth Bet and Aleph.<ref name="25.5 c1">The Soweto Uprising happened, but the events from 1982 onward were increasingly different. Warlords taking over and establishing particular sorts of order or disorder, rules, regimes and so on. Ensuing lies, propaganda, and misinformation muddled up a great deal in the status quo. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/scarab-25-5/#comment-45697 Comment] by Wildbow on [[Scarab 25.5]]</ref>
