Modus operandi

Strange_Mammal has stated that "the reason for this project is supposed to be we know each other".<ref name="P.3"/> They did not yet consider themselves a team, but rather in the process of forming one.<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: I’m looking at joining a team. Kind of. We’re still figuring a lot out. It’s exciting. they’re neat. - Glow-worm P.7</ref>

Team-up was proposed as continuation of therapy group, which all six of members were attending at the moment.<ref name="2.5">Flare 2.5</ref> Outside of meet-ups they co-ordinated primarily via Parahumans Online chat.

As a hero group their approach evolved. Going after villain teams as information gatherers and scouts.

History

Post-Gold Morning

Group session were initiated by Dr. Yamada somewhere around two months and a week before the story start, with one or two sessions a week.<ref name="2.5" />

At some point they shared details like names and the fact that Mangled_Wings had not used a computer before.<ref name="P.3">Glow-worm P.3</ref>

Glow-worm

Capricorn, Strange_Mammal and Heart_Shaped_Pupil were the first to join the chat. Mangled_Wings was then invited by Strange_Mammal on August 19th Y1 after making her account.<ref name="P.3" /> However, she disconnected after Strange_Mammal mentioned proof that she had lied about a minor detail.

The next day, of5 connected to the chat and discussed help with the PHO search function. Strange_Mammal mentioned that they had videogames to give them at the next meeting.<ref name="P.4">Glow-worm P.4</ref>. Half of the group at that point seems to be busy with research and scouring network for information.

By August 22nd, Mangled_Wings had rejoined the group chat.<ref name="P.6">Glow-worm P.6</ref> At August 24th, the final member - Kraken_in_a_Jar joins the chat.<ref name="P.8">Glow-worm P.8</ref>

They eventually decided to form a team together.

Early Ward

After failing to recruit Weld in time to talk to the group about super heroics<ref name="4.6 e3">“When Jessica- When Mrs. Yamada asked me to sit in with the group and help out. She asked Weld first, didn’t she?”

“Ah, you caught that,” Sveta said. The smile disappeared. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t sure if you did, and I didn’t want to risk hurting your feelings.”

“Was I second choice?” I asked.

“I don’t think so. Sorry, I don’t know for sure, but Weld was asked and he said no, but he said he’d be free a little while after. She could have waited and had Weld sit in, but she chose you.”

“And she seemed okay, almost relieved, at me doing this,” I said.

“As okay as she is with any of this,” Sveta said. - Excerpt from Shade 4.6</ref> Dr. Yamada reached out to Victoria Dallon to assist with unforeseen group ambition.<ref name="2.5" />

Post-Fallen Fall

At a meeting in Earths#Earth N, the group and its members were forced to pick names.<ref name="7.8">“You want our cape names, or group, or-”

“All of the above,” the man with the parted hair said. “It matters. This is a place where formality, titles, and roles matter. The name you choose is important.”

“Team Breakthrough. Capricorn, Tress, Antares, Lookout, and Cryptid. We’re here to talk about the state of things, and to see about sharing information.” - Excerpt from Torch 7.8</ref>
