2014

  • June 22nd: An alien ship crashes into New York, setting off the first Quantum Event. Thousands of people are given super powers. City, state, and federal governments buckle under the pressure of the disaster, and work for years to restore some kind of order.

2018

  • The Lockdown: Finally accepting the inevitable, the federal government declares the island of Manhattan as a Containment Zone, stopping rebuilding efforts and instead evacuating the island. Powered individuals who have not found other roles in American society are transported to the island of Manhattan for containment.

2028

  • Player One is caught up in a quantum event in his home in California. He is soon identified, classified as a useless personality by the government and shipped off to Manhatten. He begins working for the Roughnecks.
  • Horizon invades a meeting between Player One (on behalf of the Roughnecks) and Gentleman Glass, selling a piece of alien technology. Horizon shows up and insists he needs the item, and Gentleman Glass seems keen to give it to him in exchange for use of his teleportation power. Player One snatches the item and makes a break for it, but Horizon traps him in a stutter-loop, and takes the item, teleporting away.

2029

  • Having heard about Horizon from Gentleman Glass, Riptide recruits Horizon into helping them with a task: hitting a DVHA medical supply shipment. Horizon teleports them over the bridge and Riptide snatches the goods. Horizon teleports them away, but not before the DVHA has recorded his image, becoming aware of a powerful teleporter in Manhattan.
  • The Independence Day Raids: Using a massive fireworks display as auditory and visual cover/distraction, the Department of Variant Human Affairs and the federal government, along with military contractors, launch a series of black ops raids on the MCZ. They target powerful supers and community organizers, rounding up and transporting them elsewhere. When the news comes out about it, the government claims the raids were strikes against superpowered terrorist cells.
  • The Manhattan Project contacts Clover asking for help: some of their people have been snatched up by the Quantum Underground, and they can't afford to be seen taking the offensive on the island. Clover recruits Horizon through Riptide, and Horizon agrees to help without any expectation of reward. Afterwards, Horizon uses a portal to get members of Clover's family out of Manhattan, earning his respect.

2030

  • The Fall of Eden: Braze, the warlord of the Roughnecks, launches a devastating attack on Eden, bypassing its security effortlessly. The siege stretches into a month of constant raids, culminating in the burning down of Eden.
    • Player One is among the first attackers with the Roughnecks assault. He is knocked unconscious by Clover, and ends up in the infirmary. Given the opportunity to see Eden's people and ideals in action, he comes to side with Eden.
    • Horizon watches the assault go on over the course of weeks, not getting involved, but constantly coming back to it over and over, increasingly bothered by it.
    • In the final Roughnecks assault on Eden, Player One fights on the side of Eden.
    • In the final Roughnecks assault on Eden, tired of watching, Horizon teleports into the structure as it catches fire. He facilitates the evacuation from the station to the abandoned cruise ship that will serve as New Eden.
