Editing The Navigators (section)

==History==
===Early-[[Ward]]===
The Navigators passed briefly through [[Hollow Point]], but they didn't have much continuing interaction with [[Breakthrough]].<ref>The Navigators had passed through Hollow Point briefly.  They’d been just far enough away that we hadn’t had much more cause to interact with them.  Too small, too narrow in their focus. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/11/27/polarize-10-10/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.10]]</ref>

===Post-[[Goddess' Takeover]]===
They became part of [[Breakthrough]]'s hero tracking program.<ref name="10.10 2" />

The Navigators received a message from an anonymous profile on [[Parahumans Online]], claiming to want to reconnect with family members who had been held captive on a [[tinker]] vessel prior to Gold Morning.<ref>“Twelve hours ago,” I explained, “The Navigators were sent a message on Parahumans Online.  It was very targeted, telling them that there was a group of families that had been captured and held on a tinker vessel.  They’d escaped on Gold Morning and were looking to reconnect with their families.  For those of you who know the Navigators, this is like offering a million dollars to mercenaries or an international shipment of someone else’s supply to a drug lord.  It’s what they’re about.”<br><br>There were some nods.  Most knew this.  Withdrawal was sitting in a chair, his agility frame folded up, under  and around the chair so it had some spring to it, adjustable on the fly.  A notebook was pressed against his knee and he took notes as I talked.<br><br>“They used knowledge about the team to bait them, and when they attacked the Navigators, they hit hard.  All three members are in the hospital and we don’t know if they’ll recover.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/01/polarize-10-11/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.11]]</ref> The team's members were [[The Navigators Incident|brutally attacked]] when they responded to the bait, and were torn to pieces, with a power in use to keep them alive.<ref>“They were taken to pieces,” I said.  “Cut, torn, dismembered, fingers removed, teeth scattered.  A power was used to preserve them before it happened.  They’re aware and feel every piece, they aren’t succumbing to exposure, sickness, or blood loss.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/01/polarize-10-11/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.11]]</ref>

The perpetrator of this attack was later revealed to be [[Cradle]].<ref>[[Interlude 11.a II]]</ref>

Once Cradle was subdued, [[Lookout]] broadcasted a signal that restored all his victims, restoring the Navigators.<ref>[[Heavens 12.x]]</ref>
