*[[Wikipedia:Switzerland|Switzerland]] Simurgh brainwashing victims declared incurable, all remaining Lausanne citizens killed.<ref>“Maybe you don’t really get what the Birdcage is.  See, I hate it.  I was in Lausanne in two-thousand two through oh-three.  Fought a whole mess of ugly.  People that couldn’t be reasoned with, people who were hopeless, in the grand scheme of it.  Victims, as much as anyone else.”<br>[...]<br>“Once we realized what was happening, we had to act, contain the damage.  Contain families.  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>
*[[Moord Nag]] becomes warlord in [[Wikipedia: Namibia|Namibia]] in [[Africa]].<ref>''Moord Nag.''  Warlord based in Namibia.  As far as the current warlords in the area go, she’s had the longest lifespan at about eight years or so, and she’s gotten things to the point where most of the other bastards around there are kowtowing, asking permission to attack this city or occupy that area, to go to the bathroom or unite two groups in an alliance. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/11 Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.5]]</ref>
*[[Cinereal|Ash Phoenix]] joins [[Atlanta]] [[Wards]].<ref name="Cinereal">Cinereal leads the Atlanta Protectorate, Wards, and maintains liaison with the Watchdog group. She’s a powerful breaker and shaker, and maintains a peculiar style of leadership. Her power altered her thought pattern and emotions, which would normally preclude being put in a leadership position, but she stepped into the position as a temporary measure after the prior Protectorate leader committed suicide (owing to PTSD from the local war) and nobody truly went out of their way or found cause to replace her.<br>[...]<br>Her reputation is well established. She’s been around for eight years and in charge for six. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/32013632/ Link made on the IRC] archived on Spacebattles</ref>
*[[Jessica Yamada]] starts to work as parahuman psychologist.<ref>“Nothing that graphic, but the penalties are severe, and they include extensive jail time, and forfeiting the credentials it took me eight years to get.  You strike me as someone who’s paying a great deal of attention to the workings of the system.  Where people are, how they’re operating.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/07 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 18.z]]</ref><!--not sure this is accurate-->

*The Enders group rebrand themselves as the Fallen.<ref>In <u>2003</u>, the group rebranded after an online propaganda campaign linked them to a book series, choosing to call themselves Fallen.  At this stage, they were primarily a militia with heavy religious theming and demon names given to officers, lieutenants, and anyone with powers who joined. - Organization: Fallen</ref><!-- https://docs.google.com/document/d/12LtYsBEGUbngNPJRoAiL_QZyR_h__8hFO57bBVSDAAA/edit -->

*Between November and December <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><small>Kenzie, in Spring 2013,<ref name="II2.5 eWards">“Yep,” she said.  She pitched her voice lower, “The Youth Guard was good to me.  I liked the people who I worked with there, even if the people in charge of me didn’t.  Some of my favorite people next to Mrs. Yamada worked for them.  Not that that lasted for long.  That was only the spring of twenty-thirteen-”<br><br>As she talked, I glanced at Mrs. Yamada.

Minimize the homework she does.  That includes work-homework.  Cape homework, if you want to call it that.”<br><br>“Why?” I asked.<br><br>“Because she’s so eager to please she’ll hurt herself in the process.  She had an art project in fourth grade, it was supposed to be done over the course of a month, following the instructions from regular handouts the teacher gave.  Eight or ten handouts, I think it was.  She asked kids a grade older than her what they’d done for the same project, and she pulled two consecutive all-nighters to do it.  Her foster parents didn’t even realize she was doing it, because it turns out a surveillance-countersurveillance tinker is really good at sneaking out to the garage and being quiet.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/08 Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.4]]</ref> Although she claims she was 10 years old then,<ref>Houndstooth: But…<br>Houndstooth: give me a second to type.<br><br>'''Heart_Shaped_Pupil:''' HT… i was ten<br>'''Heart_Shaped_Pupil:''' iv’e grown up some<br>'''Heart_Shaped_Pupil:''' i was there for the end of the world - [[Glow-worm P.7]]</ref> she presumably rounded up her age as according to her team leader at the time, she was 9 years old.<ref>“I hear you,” Houndstooth said.  “I’m just worried you’re not going to listen, and if that’s the case, then it’s a bad replay of me, our Protectorate leader and our PRT liaison talking to her school.  It’s a replay of us having a meeting with her new foster parents.  It’s a repeat of us talking to the parents of a new friend she’s made.”<br><br>“What happened?” I asked.<br><br>“We explained, they heard us, but they didn’t listen.  They didn’t take it to heart, because she is- was nine.  She’s cute, she’s precocious, and she has a really skewed skillset where she’s really good at getting close to people and she’s really, tragically bad at staying there.  Messes follow.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/08 Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.4]]</ref><ref>“Can I ask about the hard stuff?”<br><br>“You can ask, but I don’t know if I can summarize it.  We had a nine year old girl with no stopping points when it came to anything social.  No brakes, a practically nonexistent sense of boundaries, and zero emotional defenses.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/08 Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.4]]</ref> She cannot be 10 years old in Spring 2013 as she is 11 years old<ref>'''Kenzie'''<br>'''Age:''' 11<br>'''Ethnicity:''' Black - hair usually very neat, straight, tied back into buns or tails<br>'''Height:''' 4’10” / 147cm<br>'''Build:''' Skinny<br>'''Face Shape:''' heart- large eyes are noted - Visual notes: Team Therapy</ref><!-- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xSnw3o_oKi9ZrTPrI4BupY6nYDhq0opWgFWaCJGFy2Y/edit --> as of September 7, 2015.<ref name="team therapy" /> According to Victoria, she is also 11 years old<ref>“Take care of her, Chicken Tenders,” I said.

One incident after another?”<br><br>“It’s one incident, Victoria.  Has there been anything else this year?”<br><br>“No.  Not that I know of.”<br><br>“One incident in November.  It’s late April now.  I’ve looked at her record, and I do believe she ''is'' getting better.  The process is slow and when the events or relapses do happen, they’re so big and dramatic that it can be hard to look past them or keep everything in perspective.  But she’s on her way.  She has a support structure.” - [[Last 20.e5]]</ref> Thus, Kenzie must have been born in 2003 sometime between November and December.</small></div></div>
