*Summer<ref name="IIx.4 eSummer">Ashley hoped it wouldn’t come to that, but she couldn’t be inside.<br><br>She might have spent a full hour of that cool summer night just outside the side door of the hotel, looking at nothing in particular, far from sleep and yet too tired to think. - [[Eclipse x.4]]</ref>
**[[Boston Games]] occur.<ref name="IIX.8 eGamesDate">[[Damsel|She]] bent down to pick up her hook and bags, pausing to clench her right hand. She’d broken it after killing the giant four years prior, and it hadn’t healed quite right, despite her best efforts. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/06/02 Excerpt] from [[Eclipse x.8]]</ref>
*Between Summer and December <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><small>Fleur's murder must be after the Boston Games.<ref>A young lady walked through the loose minefield she’d created.  Black haired, she had a flower symbol in black on her chest, petals stretching up from a bar or hilt. - [[Eclipse x.5]]</ref> However, she died before Crystal Pelham's trigger event,<ref>I only barely had the controller in my hand when the door opened.<br><br>They were all wearing civilian clothes, but my impression of them was that they were ‘the team’.  No longer just the adults.  They looked serious, instead of looking like family.  Mom, Dad, Uncle Neil, Aunt Sarah, and Crystal. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/08/infrared-19-9/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.9]]</ref> which happened sometime in the fall semester of 2007.<ref name="II19.9 eScienceClass" /></small></div></div>
**[[Fleur]] murdered in her civilian identity,<ref>Back in Brockton Bay, New Wave had tried to start something, capes without masks.  It had been disastrous.  The message had been lost in the ensuing celebrity, and that had only intensified after one of the core members of the group was found and killed in her civilian identity. - [[Interlude 26a]]</ref> at the peak of New Wave's rising popularity,<ref>“We had a similar experience, back in the beginning.  A team with all the promise in the world, people were talking about us, the public was supportive, the law, the heroes…”<br><br>“And then Auntie Jess died.  Murdered.  New Wave lost its momentum.” - [[Beacon 8.9]]</ref><ref>[http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Fleur?oldid=4588 Edit by Wildbow]<br>Not in the [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37804044/ list of retracted edits].</ref> by a kid looking to bolster his reputation and earn membership into Empire Eighty-Eight.<ref>We haven’t caught up with them yet, despite me spending a few hours last night on the hunt, but the consensus seems to be that it’s stupid, petty people seeing us putting our faces out there and wanting to ride the wave of attention.  I had a kind-of aunt who died for pretty similar feeling reasons, and remembering that’s really bothering me. - [[Gleaming 9.1]]</ref><ref name="II8.9 eKid">I could barely remember Auntie Jess.  The memory was occluded by the very clear distinction of a sniveling kid in a courtyard- someone who’d been looking to earn his stripes as a member of our local racist troupe.  He’d cried, begged, and asked for his dad to save him when the pronouncement had come from the court.  I could remember seeing him and being disgustedly disappointed in him.  That someone as awesome as my aunt had been killed by someone as far from awesome as him.<br><br>No- no.  That hadn’t been my opinion.  It had been something my mom had said that had struck so close to home that it felt like my own idea. - [[Beacon 8.9]]</ref> Unmasking movement ends and [[Lightstar]] leaves New Wave.<ref name="II2.5 e2">“Heroes, like the PRT, and like my family’s team, followed, to try and keep the peace until things settled.  My family’s team was Lady Photon, Manpower, Flashbang, Brandish, Lightstar and Fleur.”<br><br>“The heroes without masks,” Ashley said. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/23 Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.5]]</ref><ref name="RPG eNewWaveEnd">A short time after ''that'', Fleur was murdered in her civilian identity, putting an end to that movement. Lightstar (brother to Carol/Brandish and Sarah/Lady Photon) quit the team. - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?682837-Worm-Bet-the-Alternate-Thread-The-Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogy-Still-Sucks-Though&p=16772221#post16772221 Wildbow on RPG.net]</ref>
*September <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><small>Doctor Mother asks Battery to graduate to the Protectorate at the earliest opportunity.<ref>“Consider this your first favor to us.  Cauldron would be much obliged if you could join the ranks of the Wards, and then graduate to the Protectorate as soon as possible.” - [[Interlude 12.5]]</ref> Battery, in 2011, is around twenty-two; Battery joins the team soon after Taylor starts junior high (i.e., seventh grade).<ref name="5.3" /> September is the start of the school year.<ref name="5.4 eSchoolStart">In biology, Madison used every excuse she could to use the pencil sharpener or talk to the teacher, and each time she passed my desk, she pushed everything I had on my desk to the floor.<br>[...]<br>“That’s September eighth,” I pointed out, “My first day back at school, last semester.  September ninth-”<br><br>“Excuse me, sorry.  How many entries do you have?”<br><br>“One for pretty much every school day starting last semester.  Sorry, I only decided to keep track last summer. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/15 Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.4]]</ref></small></div></div>
**Battery joins Protectorate.
*Between September and December 31th <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><small>Crystal Pelham triggers before Victoria Dallon<ref>“If I could go back-” Crystal started.  She stopped, aware that every set of eyes was on her.  Her eyes moving so she wasn’t looking at anyone at all, she went on, “-I wouldn’t do it again.  I wouldn’t want these powers.”<br>[...]<br>I still wanted them.  I ''needed'' them.  Still, for the first time, I felt trepidation.  Because my mom, the toughest person I knew, looked ''scared'' for me. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/08/infrared-19-9/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.9]]</ref> in the first semester of a high school year.<ref name="II19.9 eScienceClass" /> Note that Victoria is a freshman as she has to pick a specialized science class (i.e., chemistry, biology, or physics) for the first time next semester.<ref name="II19.9 eScienceClass" /> Victoria is not a sophomore because she would otherwise take a specialized science class in the fall.<ref name="5.4 eSchoolStart" /></small></div></div>
**Crystal Pelham triggers sometime after Fleur's death.<ref>“''The point is'',” my Aunt Sarah stressed, “we need you to be aware that this is a thing that happens.  Very often, when we get powers, it isn’t always easy, fun, or great.  We need you all to be gentle with Crystal, not to pry, not to pressure, give her space, and let her handle things in her own way.”<br>[...]<br>“I almost killed someone too,” Crystal said.<br>[...]<br>All I knew was that some sketchy people had recognized her and followed her off the bus, running after her when she ran.  I only knew that much because my mom had told Amy and me to be extra careful, and had insisted she or dad drive us if we went anywhere.<br><br>“They’re mad, now, apparently,” Crystal said, hugging her arms to her body.  “They want to get revenge.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/08/infrared-19-9/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.9]]</ref>
**[[Assault]] joins the same team as Battery.<ref>“And I want to be on ''her'' team,” Madcap said, pointing at Battery.  He smiled.  “Puppy changes to a new city, I go with.”<br><br>“Hell no,” Battery said. - [[Interlude 12.5]]</ref><ref>“Hon, you need to ''unwind''.  Relax.  You’re too rigid, and I know for a fact that you haven’t had a boyfriend ''or a girlfriend'' in the two years I’ve worked with you.”<br>[...]<br>Cauldron had sent it to the phone the Protectorate gave her?  To a number that only the Protectorate had?  Did that mean something? - [[Interlude 12.5]]</ref><ref>A joke?  A reminder?  The last one had been two years ago.<br>[...]<br>She had only a few seconds to read and process the message before the paper ignited.
:Siberian and Shatterbird are to escape the city, and our business with you will be done. Thank you.  – c.
The burning scraps drifted to the road around her, but she only felt cold. - [[Interlude 12.5]]</ref>
