Editing Thunderdome (section)

===Background===
Before the end of the world, Thunderdome was a member of [[the Wards]].

In the new world, she joined a team called [[Javelin]] as the leader. This team would eventually split due to conflicting personalities, and Thunderdome would join the Wardens.<ref>Thunderdome was a rookie Warden, a process that had been helped along by the fact that she had been a Ward, years ago.  A quick check of files and records suggested the heroine had come to the Wardens from the Advance Guard’s peripheral teams, where she had been captain.<br><br>Oh.<br><br>A survey of logs revealed that Javelin, Thunderdome’s old team, had just perished.  The young woman had received the news.  Dragon already knew the relationship had been contentious, motivating Thunderdome’s move.  Good teamwork on the battlefield, opposed personalities and politics in the headquarters.<br><br>The information was there in transcripts of a frank, possibly too-honest entry interview for the Wardens.  The team had imploded when Standoff had told Thunderdome she was only a figurehead leader, chosen to stand front and center because of her looks and social media presence.  In the ensuing fight, Standoff had spat in her face.<br><br>She had turned to other members of the team, and they had backed Standoff.  Follow-up interviews with Crackle and Vertical had suggested they’d been upset at the time because Thunderdome had forbade romance between team members.  Thunderdome would later clarify it was because Crackle had a seven year history and had only two months total where he hadn’t been dating one of his female teammates.  No explicit issues, but Thunderdome had acted on gut.<br><br>It would later turn out, according to some flags on the file, that Teacher’s groups had been lining up to use the already evident divisions to split up Javelin and try to lure Advance Guard into the mess.  The team had fallen apart on its own before they could intervene. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/23/infrared-19-z/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.z II]]</ref>
