===Endbringer Attack and immediate aftermath===

Eventually, The Simurgh accessed the tinkertech vault where among other things the leftover technology of [[Professor Haywire]] was kept. She brought in materials from multiple worlds including from [[Earth Aleph]] and a [[Cauldron Compound|mysterious building]] from an unidentified world.{{Ref|name=21.xe1|When the Simurgh had attacked Madison, she’d copied [[Haywire]]’s technology to open a gate to a building much like this one.  A research facility.  The portal had dumped the buildings, soil, plant life and all the residents into the city on Earth Bet, costing Cauldron a horrific amount.  Even a stockpile of formulae had been lost.|#Interlude 21.x}} Notably [[The Travelers]] were brought in from [[Earth Aleph]].

A chain link fence and similar measures was present hours into the Endbringers attack,{{Ref|name=17.3e1|The loudspeaker blared, ''“Step away from the fence!”''<br><br>The man in charge must have given an order, because every gun present moved to point their way.  As one, Krouse and his friends backed a healthy distance away from the fence.<br><br>“Bastards,” Krouse muttered.<br><br>There was a distant rumble.  The Simurgh ascended from the skyline a mile away, a half-dozen uprooted buildings orbiting lazily around her.  As chunks of concrete came free of the ruined ends of the structures, they too orbited her, a protective shield.|#Migration 17.3}} though individuals were still able to make illegal crossings in the first week.{{Ref|name=R2 e2}} By the end of that week this was made considerably harder by large prefabricated walls, erected with  parahuman assistance.<ref name="R2.5 e3">'''themanwhowas''':
:5.How quickly do the first walls go up? With prefabricated and/or parahuman help, it should still take a while for 300 foot walls to go around a city, even if it's just a part of a city.<br>'''Wildbow''':

The [[Parahuman Response Team]] established a full quarantine department for the area.{{Ref|name=R2 e2|'''Quarantine'''<br><br>Evacuation and quarantine measures during/after the fight were prompt and reasonably effective, though a number of individuals slipped still past the initial defenses, which included armed forces (both military and PRT) and quickly erected chain-link fences with barbed wire.<br><br>Longer-term measures were established, with walls erected using materials prepared in advance as well as the assistance of parahuman abilities. In the months following, watchtowers were constructed, with bunkers and a specialized PRT facility at the main exit point. Buildings were bulldozed to create a ‘no man’s land’ in the space between the quarantine walls and the residential area, and regular patrols were set up.<br><br>It is believed that at least 7,000 individuals were caught within the quarantine, though it is likely that more were included. In the process of her attack, the Simurgh deposited a number of individuals with a strong resemblance to the Case-53s at the attack site, and these individuals have been reported to be active and at large within the zone. This threat slowed, then stalled quarantine outtake, causing no small amount of distress to the individuals in processing.<br><br>Three years after the incident, the PRT restarted the process of outtake, each individual undergoing a background check and screening by a PRT-approved thinker. To minimize the effects of cumulative influence, the PRT rotates out directors and teams.<br><br>
''Objectives are:''
:*To maintain the safety of the public outside the zone, first and foremost.
:*To combat the Simurgh’s influence wherever possible.
:*Contain the Case-53 element within the walls.
:*Maintain the quarantine perimeter against attempted breaches.
:*Provide supplies and necessary services (water, power, shelter, medical) to those within.
:*Maintain the peace and continue regular PRT duties in respect to the now sparsely-populated Madison periphery.
:*PRT deals with number of incidents, including breakout attempts, ‘infected’ and ‘at risk’ individuals attempting to slip through outtake, crises within the site, such as hostages, gangs taking over supply drops and managing interactions with those within.<br><br>
The quarantine remains a controversial subject in the public debate, with many suggesting that outtake should be prohibited, while others say that it’s inhumane as it stands. The PRT may well need to step into the public debate to shape the narrative and control expectations.|https://redd.it/3ec7eu|Excerpt from Wildbow Reddit comment}} 

The heroes and armed forces were sent in as peacekeepers,<ref name="R2.5 e2"/> but the passing of the Simurgh had left such a dangerous and volatile situation,<ref name="R1 e1">Picture a game set in Madison, WI, just after the Simurgh attack. The quarantine area is walled in, people are going nuts, there's monsters everywhere and the city is littered with vials with sporadic paperwork, from when one of Cauldron's storehouses were dropped on the city. - Excerpt from a [https://redd.it/2w65qh Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> that the peacekeepers were eventually withdrawn and fast-tracked out of quarantine.<ref name="R2.5 e2"/> 

The outtakes eventually ground to a halt and the people had the make due with where they were.
