The case used by the PRT when dealing with powers that manifest in two or more people.They were so-called because their origin was the 70th anomalous case investigated by the PRT.<ref name ="I28e1"/><ref name="II.1.1 e1">Official files. Classification documents. Then there were the notes for case one, case fifteen, case thirty-two, case fifty-three, case ninety. The ‘cases’ were the events the PRT had deemed of interest. Riddles both solved and unsolved. My collection there was incomplete, but some were official enough to be confidential, and I’d never had that access. Others were closed, the mystery deemed nonexistent or something to be folded into popular knowledge. - Excerpt from Daybreak 1.1 </ref>

Details

Case seventies are all about blurred lines. Where does one person start and the other begin? When one identical sibling triggers and touches another, what can happen?

Examples

  • Knot
  • Tandem
  • Zigzag
  • House of Three (possibly)

Origin

Useually happens when two people are with the Agent conglomeration the two people into one individual.<ref>“Case seventies in North America included Knot, Tandem, Zigzag was one, I think, there was House of Three in Quebec. And… you, it seems.”

“One or two of them might not be seventies, but they get called seventies because they’re close enough. Blurred lines, like you said. When twins trigger, the powers are identical or nearly identical. When twins trigger and they’re touching one another, like you said to Rain, things get blurry, the agent is too stupid or careless to tell where one starts and the other ends, or it wants to fuck with us, and it jams everything in together. Two minds, two similar powers, and one body to be shared.”- Excerpt from Flare 2.6</ref><ref> - Comment by Wildbow on reddit</ref>

  • The twins Nix & Nyx are not an example of this phenomena.
