Editing Cauldron Compound (section)

==History==
===Background===
First created in the early [[1980]]s, then expanded.

During the 2010 Simurgh assault on [[Madison]] a large amount of materials for the compound were transported to the [[Earth Bet]].<ref>When the Simurgh had attacked Madison, she’d copied Haywire’s technology to open a gate to a building much like this one.  A research facility.  The portal had dumped the buildings, soil, plant life and all the residents into the city on Earth Bet, costing Cauldron a horrific amount.  Even a stockpile of formulae had been lost. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/interlude-21-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref> This included numerous [[Cauldron vial|Vials]] meant to be delivered to customers<ref name="R1 e1">Picture a game set in Madison, WI, just after the Simurgh attack. The quarantine area is walled in, people are going nuts, there's monsters everywhere and the city is littered with vials with sporadic paperwork, from when one of Cauldron's storehouses were dropped on the city. - Excerpt from a [https://redd.it/2w65qh Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> and several deviants.<ref name="R5 e1">Cauldron capes were explicitly ''more'' stable. Case 53s (barring Shamrock, Madison and Dealer C53s) all had a reason for being dropped where they were, with individual programming. - Excerpt from a [https://redd.it/4plwx6 Reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref>
===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
With the emergence of a [[khonsu|fourth endbringer]] and the promise of a fifth. A new addition was revealed, a building for which the great parahumans powers could meet, discuss, coordinate and hopefully save the world for the second time.<ref>[[Scarab 25.5]]</ref>
===[[Gold Morning]]===
It was planned to launch and coordinate most of Cauldron's plans from this location.<ref name="29.6"/>

Was attacked by [[The Irregulars]].<ref>[[Interlude 28]]</ref> Certain sections became temporarily inaccessible with [[Doormaker|Doormaker's]] incapacitation.

It was shortly thereafter devastated by [[Zion]].

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
The building and it related infrastructure has been seized by [[Teacher's Group]].<ref>There were no portals.  They couldn’t speak a word and request a doorway to any place or alternate earth.  The act of getting to the old headquarters was… arduous.  The way to the old Cauldron headquarters was to travel to Cote D’Ivoire and use the spare portal there.  It was easier to situate themselves in the city.<br/><br/>Besides.  The old base had been commandeered.<br/>[...]<br/>“By a man.  A month or two ago.  He called himself Teacher.  I didn’t even slip up, he just- he appeared.  And he had a small army of people with powers with him.”<br/>[...]<br/>“He has other avenues of access, then,” Kurt said.  “He has the old base, and what was empty is now fully staffed.  Now he has an army.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/07/shadow-interlude-5-x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 5x II]]</ref> It was mostly restored thanks to the efforts of [[The Custodian]], it became a staging ground for the reconstituted Cauldron.<ref name="II13.x">[[Black 13.x]]</ref>

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
After their [[Old Man|agent]] was discovered the Overseer made her rounds and held discussions, the complex was linked with [[Earth Cheit]] and operations were carried out to subsume the world.<ref name="II13.x" />

A large scale operation was enacted, where the major hero teams banded together to invade the compound and take Teacher out.

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
The building was yet again partially destroyed, and [[The Wardens]] relocated part of their operation inside to secure and sort out the remaining thralls and equipment.<ref name="16.1II">[[From Within 16.1]]</ref> They also started housing some refugees from [[The City]] here.<ref name="16.2II">[[From Within 16.2]]</ref>

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
The complex was invaded by [[The Simurgh]] sending the inhabitants into a disarray.<ref name="II20.1">[[Last 20.1]]</ref>
