Editing Earth Cheit (section)

===Early-[[Ward]]===
When some of their people were caught in a [[Broken trigger]] [[trigger event|event]], they threatened war.<ref name="II.I2"/> [[Auzure]] were concerned with the possibility of an inter-dimensional war involving Earth C,<ref>“Ideally, we’d ask Auzure to call when Auzure is busy.”<br/><br/>“You don’t want them in your jurisdiction?”<br/><br/>“…Yeah.”  I said.  I almost said ‘basically’.<br/><br/>“I hear you.  Yeah.  I think they’ve got something going on right now.  Rumors of war on the horizon.  Earth C.  If you used them in the next week, I don’t think they’d pick up on hints.”<br/><br/>“We’d need to figure out who we want Auzure to call, so that the person called might tip off the villains.  It might be tight to get that information in a week, but yeah.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/30 Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.2]]</ref> which they believed would be surprisingly brutal.<ref name=II4.7e2>It feels like none of the people doing the talking and negotiations want it to happen, especially as we’re getting hints about how bitter a war it could be.  Earth C doesn’t mess around.<br/>[...]<br/>“We’re okay, right?  We do have the edge on powers.  Makes for an incredible toolbox.”<br/>“We have an edge, but it’s not as big as you might think,” Dido said.  “Our side has people who can detect or see powers, and what we keep hearing from them is that this guy has powers, but on the down-low.  That woman has powers, nobody seems to be aware.  A lot of them are using their abilities to maneuver into positions of power.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/30 Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.2]]</ref>

There were small but dangerous factions within Cheit who were interested in war with other worlds, such as "doomsday radicals", and a group named the "Fourth Sect" who advocated "thinning" of their own population.<ref name="ii4.7fs"/>

Some Cheit-affiliated mercenaries, namely [[The Order]], start to offer their services to [[The City]] villains.<ref name=11.3e3>Then, as I turned my focus to the Order, I found them to be ghosts.  Some jobs, but they hadn’t existed a month ago<!--month before prison break is early-semptember-ish, e.g. story start-->, and they apparently worked together and socialized as a tight-knit team.  That didn’t happen; not with people who’d appeared so spontaneously and simultaneously.<br/>[...]<br/>“These mercenaries you’re looking at… they’re Cheit, your notes are right. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/25 Excerpt] from [[Blinding 11.3]]</ref> It's likely that roughly at the same time Cheit also started sponsoring local paramercenaries providing them with equipment, contacts, and henchmen, forming units similar to the [[russia]]n ones.<!-- speculation, but Cradle's mercs look like pre-organized groups, and he had contacts with Cheit-->
