Editing Team Reach (section)

==History==
===Background===
Reach was a sponsored hero team.<ref name=":2">[A18 11:29:35] <strong>Cap: </strong>is Reach still a thing?<br>[A18 11:29:56] Moonsong: I consider the others friends and teammates.<br>[A18 11:30:11] Moonsong: I consider myself a member of Reach<br>[A18 11:30:33] <strong>Cap: </strong>I get that<br>[A18 11:30:35] <strong>Cap: </strong>doesn’t answer my question<br>[A18 11:30:40] <strong>Cap: </strong>will it carry on?  what happens?<br>[A18 11:43:50] Moonsong: It won’t. I don’t think so anyway. There’s a lot of hero teams out there and its hard for a sponsored team to get traction even without people feeling betrayed. - [[Glow-worm P.2|Glow-worm P.2]]</ref> They had a recurring pair of nemeses called Scritch and Scratch.<ref name=":3">It might be crass to say, but I don’t know if anyone’s going to have words for them.  Scritch and Scratch were the closest thing we had to a nemesis.  They had their scummy moments.  They also kept to the rules.  They were killed during one of the lulls in the fighting, by a group I won’t name. - [[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref> The team had a therapist, and engaged in regular merchandising and fundraising.<ref name="3.6 1" /><ref name="2.6" /> They had a good reputation, and seemed to be fairly well-known.<ref name="2.6">“It can absolutely pay, though,” Tristan said.  He glanced at Mrs. Yamada and then said, “I was a member of a corporate team, I saw and participated in the fundraising and merchandising, and we did well.  We made a good bit of money.”<br><br>“Which team?” I asked.<br><br>“Reach.”<br><br>“Oh, kudos.  I know Reach,” I said.  “I’m not sure I could list off the roster as of Gold Morning but I’m more than passingly familiar.  Good team.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/26/flare-2-6/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.6]]</ref>

At some point, [[Capricorn]] left the team when one of the Vera twins, Tristan, apparently "lost it" and was arrested with a murder charge.<ref name="7.3">“I lost it,” Tristan said, his eyes fixed on the road even though traffic crawled.  “I’m not trying to deflect blame or anything, but I was dealing with the C-seventy bullcrap, three-point-four GPA, kicking ass as a hero on a kick-ass team, made friends and hung out with those friends.  I did it while living half a life… and something gave.”<br><br>[...]<br><br>“It goes back to what happened with Reach.  I tried to do it all and when I couldn’t do it anymore I let something slip, I became a villain and didn’t even realize it.  I got arrested, I lost most of my friends from back then, my team, my academic record, and I lost my family.  My dad doesn’t want to do dad things with me.  My mom is really careful around me, like it’s all forced.  They don’t call me, it’s always me calling them.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/22/torch-7-3/ Excerpt] from [[Torch 7.3]]</ref><ref name="8.3">“It’s not, not exactly.  It’s- I can’t talk to Byron, because the two of us can’t be in the same room at the same time.  My parents don’t like talking to me.  Not since the murder charge.  I’m limited in the friends I can talk to, with one being worse off and one in prison.  I needed to vent and I needed to say it out loud and make sense of it.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/10/beacon-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.3]]</ref> Several other members were recruited following Capricorn's arrest.<ref name=":5">[A18 12:33:23] <strong>Cap: </strong>if you joined the team after I left you probably won’t get it - [[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Coiffure was killed in one of the initial strikes on the East coast,<ref name=":1" /> along with her mother and two siblings. Her father survived the attack.

Furcate chose to fight on Gold Morning, and died in Moonsong's arms.

Capricorn was "dragged into" the fight, but survived.<ref name=":4">[[Glow-worm P.2]]</ref>

The team's nemeses, Scritch and Scratch, were killed by an unspecified group during a lull in the fighting.<ref name=":3" />
===[[Glow-worm]]===
When [[Parahumans Online]] reactivated, Moonsong posted a thread with eulogies and updates.<ref name=":4" /> They did not plan to reassemble the team, feeling there was little place for corporate heroes in the new world.<ref name=":2" /> By a couple years after Gold Morning, former Team Reach members Moonsong and Tribute had joined the [[Shepherds]], while Tristan had been attending [[Chatroom group|group therapy]].<ref name="3.6 2">“Tristan,” she said.  “Tell me you’re not interviewing for a team.”<br><br>“I’m not,” he said.  “I’ve got the team already.”<br><br>She pursed her lips together.<br><br>“History, Moonsong?” someone asked.<br><br>“Yeah,” Moonsong said.  “Tribute knows.”<br><br>“Yeah,” the guy who was apparently ‘Tribute’ said.  He wore what looked like a hypermodernized version of the suit of armor with the cape over one shoulder.  It wasn’t old fashioned armor, though.  It was panels on a bodysuit, and the cape was cut to cling close to his body, angular for flowing cloth, with glowing lines where the sharp angles were.  “History is putting it lightly.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/23/glare-3-6/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.6]]</ref>
