Editing The Strange Titan (section)

==History==

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
[[Director Armstrong]] received a report of an unknown Stranger turning into a Titan on [[Cheit]].{{Ref||Interlude 17.z II}}

During [[Legend]]'s debriefing of the Titans to the [[Wardens]] and other assembled heroes and villains, he gave details on the Strange Titan.{{Ref||Radiation 18.2}}

The Strange Titan eventually joined [[Fortuna]]'s network.{{Ref|Ophion coming from the East. Nemean from the West.<br/><br/>The Stranger Titan from the Northeast, with a vague marker that showed the likely area and a guess at the distance.<br/><br/>By the connections we’d observed, all three appeared to be linked to Titan Fortuna.|#Infrared 19.1}}

The Strange Titan was the closest Titan to one of the entry-points to [[The Shardspace]], so it mobilized against trespassers second after [[Skadi]].{{Ref||Radiation 18.10}} However, it was relatively slow and arrived together with [[Ophion]], shortly after the faster [[Victor|Nemean]]. The Stranger started poaching cape-teams at the fringes, while being impossible to attack themselves, so heroes were forced to block their approach by destroying the environment.{{Ref||Infrared 19.1}} It continued putting the pressure and forcing capes into cover during the battle, not being very noticeably affected in power even after [[the Firmament]] was bombed.{{Ref|“You too.  You weren’t here, but they’re saying the Stranger Titan is insanity-raying anyone who steps out of cover,” Sveta told me.  “Stay low.”<br/>[...]<br/>and the Stranger Titan was behind us, unable to be seen, yet capable of stealing our sanity away from us if it got a good look at us.  Possibly permanently, insofar as ‘permanent’ lasted, when most of the affected seemed to take their own lives at the next opportunity.|#Infrared 19.3}}
