Earth Bet Exclusive

1980

• Three distinct Entitys are in Space around this time.<ref>The shard that allows the entity to see the future is broken up, then recoded with strict limitations. It wouldn’t do to have the capabilities turned against the entity or the shards.
  
  The fragment it just used is sent off, directed to a small female.
  
  [...]
  
  In a haste to decide matters before it enters the stratosphere of that barren planet, the entity casts it off to a similar location as the future-sight ability.

He was naked, his arms to his sides, his long hair blowing in the wind as he stood in the sky, nearly a hundred feet above the gently cresting waves. His skin and hair can only be described as a burnished gold. With neither body hair nor clothes to cover him, it is said, he seemed almost artificial. - Exerpt from Gestation 1.x</ref>

  “Jack,” Jacob said. He kicked King’s body again. “Fuck it. He always called me Jacob, practically purring. His little killer in training. As if I could match up to his Gray Boy. I want to be more than that. Get out from under his shadow.”
  
  “Okay… Jack.”
  
  “If it’s a farce, a joke, let’s run with it. We take simple names, dumb names, and we make people quake in their shoes at the sound. Jack… Slash.”

1988

• Paige Mcabee born.<ref name="6.x">“Determining sentencing for this case is not easy. As your lawyer has no doubt made you aware, you do fall under the umbrella of the TSPA, or the three strikes act. At the age of twenty three, you have been convicted of no prior crimes.
  
  “According to the witnesses heard in this court, you first demonstrated your abilities in early 2009. You were vocal about not wanting to become a member of the Protectorate, but you also expressed a disinterest in a life of crime. This state, in which an individual does not identify as hero or villain, is what the PRT classifies as a ‘rogue’. - Exerpt from Interlude 6</ref>
• May 1
  • Hero, Legend and Eidolon meet with Alexandria, Doctor Mother, Contessa, Number Man, William Manton and Doormaker. Alexandria proposes to found a government-controlled hero team.<ref>May 1st, 1988
    
    “Alexandria,” the Doctor called.
    
    Alexandria waited patiently as Contessa adjusted her cape, then strode through the door. The Doctor was there, of course. Professor Manton, too. The boy with the math powers was there, standing next to a boy who was staring off into space.
    
    [...]
    
    “Alright. I can keep an open ear,” Legend said. Eidolon and Hero nodded in agreement. “What’s your proposal?”
    
    [...]
    
    “No. Because I’d like to propose a solution. A way to assert control. I want to band together. Form a team.”
    
    Legend leaned against the wall. “There are teams forming already. Yes, we’d be powerful, influential, but I don’t see how that addresses the problems.”
    
    “Simple. We do what the government’s been pushing for. We regulate. We bend to the government’s yoke, all four of us together. We follow their stipulations and regulations.” - Exerpt from Interlude 15.z</ref>

1989

• Battery born.<ref>Battery was a member of the Protectorate. When I’d been starting junior high, she’d been the head of the Wards for a brief while, and she’d soon after graduated to the Protectorate. I could guess she was twenty-two or thereabouts now, if they didn’t fudge the graduation date or anything to make it harder to guess the hero’s real age. - Exerpt from Hive 5.3</ref>

    Applause swelled around her. As far as the eye could see, there were crowds and flashing cameras. President Griffin extended a hand and she shook it.
    
    He leaned close, “You do us proud.”
    
    “Thank you, James. I’ll give my all.”
    
    He squeezed her hand and moved on.

Trivia

• While the divergence point is technically 1980 scion did not reveal himself until 1982. Which set off a chain of events that led to the diestinguishable timelines of Earth Bet and alph.<ref name="25.5 c1">The Soweto Uprising happened, but the events from 1982 onward were increasingly different. Warlords taking over and establishing particular sorts of order or disorder, rules, regimes and so on. Ensuing lies, propaganda, and misinformation muddled up a great deal in the status quo. - Comment by Wildbow on Scarab 25.5</ref>
