TIMELINE - THE STORY SO FAR

[maskormods]

THE BASICS | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018

2015

• January 14 - ImPorts establish a "mirror network".
  
• January 20-February 3rd - Bizarre lightning storms strike over De Chima, Maurtia Falls, and Nonah. These lightning strikes are suspiciously accurate and while they are fatal to non-imPorts, imPorts who find themselves struck have new and strange memories temporarily implanted, believing themselves to be somebody else until the effects wear off. As it is suspected, Hornet scientists are responsible for the lightning strikes.
  
  • 23rd - At approximately 1:25 AM, the body of Ira Ditko is discovered on Cape Canaveral's beach. It appears he was drowned and was found with a high level of alcohol in his system at the time of his death. An investigation finds merchandise and personal affects belonging to imPorts Ditko appeared to have stolen. Authorities also discover communicators belonging to departed imPorts. Ten of these communicators are anonymously sent to imPorts for reasons currently undisclosed.
    
  • 25th - Miguel Rodriguez, one of the Hornet members apprehended during October's Maze attack, is put on trial along with the others who had been captured. He makes a statement, explaining he joined the Hornets when it became apparent the government -- or someone -- was censoring him and removing articles he had written about the government and imPort actions. A number of articles of his mysteriously vanished and has never reappeared on any media outlet or social media. However, he deeply regretted extremist behavior he conducted with the Hornets.
  • 31st - Matt Murdock and Lillian Crawley, following up on leads that former hero Eleni Wang is located in Greece, are able to locate her in Tyrnavos. She reveals she not only left the US due to the arising problems following the death of the teen heroes in 2008, but because another former hero, Richard Peter Wayne/Black Arrow, was murdered while attempting to investigate the Hornets. Eleni suggests the Hornets' rise in power and numbers was fueled by the imPorts leaving the world back in 2010, explaining their departure was met with polarizing opinions. Some felt it was best and others felt their so-called heroes had abandoned them, and that the government allowed this to happen.
• February 1 - Two men in suits with what appear to be US badges arrive to pick up Eleni. It is learned later that these men may not have been US officials at all as the Greek police were not tipped off to US authorities being present in the area. Eleni disappears.
  
• February 2 - Thomas contacts Holiday telepathically and discovers the spirit of Quisma is possessing him, therefore accidentally responsible for Holiday's removal from his post and admittance into psychiatric care.
  
• February 5 - ImPort Ambassador elections are held. Ira Gamagori, Mitchell Hundred, and Revan are elected in Nonah, De Chima, and Maurtia Falls respectively.
  
• February 13-27-
  
  • 13th - February's Swear-In arranges for a holo-conference for former Captain Holiday and Miguel Rodriguez to clear up any "misinformation" and provide transparency. Miguel confirms the Hornets are responsible for the monorail bombing in Nonah. Peter Narga, head of the Lif Foundation, is raised as suspicious by Holiday but cannot confirm for what reasons.
    
    Back in Heropa, the imPort prison is bombed by several Hornet members who flee the scene. ImPorts are able to apprehend them and receive information about the Hornets' "hive" being located in Charlevoix. They also heavily imply they have former native heroes working alongside them and a plan to take out imPorts once and for all. ImPorts also discover a plot to commit a robbery in the city of De Chima and receive confirmation during the Orlando bombings a former hero, Veronica Conway/Nitestar, is a member of the Hornets and was responsible for the murder of a security guard in the building.
    
    Unbeknownst to imPorts, in all the pandemonium in Heropa they are infected with an airborne contagion planted in the explosives. The "Sting Virus" overwrites imPort personality and replaces it with a Hornet "mind clone", forcing them to commit crimes against one another or locals.
    
    
  • 15th - ImPort Kitty Jones makes an attempt to infiltrate the Hornets on her own. This attempt backfires when the Hornets discover she is an imPort and they kidnap her, stashing her in their hive in Charlevoix. Kitty discovers she is not the Hornets' only prisoner; they are holding former hero Liana Greenwood/Rocket Gal and Eleni Wang/Athena. Liana has been held for months, having gone undercover with the Hornets to try and take them down from the inside. The two US officials who recovered Eleni in Greece are revealed to be Hornets, afraid Eleni might have had information on them she was going to spill to imPorts.
    
  • 18th - ImPorts split into groups to dismantle the Hornets and their operation once and for all. One group strikes their hive in Charlevoix, recovering Kitty Jones, Eleni Wang and Liana Greenwood safely. They encounter two other former heroes in the ensuing battle who have long since joined the Hornets' cause: Benjamin Braunstein/The Shield and Simone Lee/Bluebird. Both of them escape before they can be apprehended.
    
    In De Chima, imPorts encounter Bianca Medina/Ironess and a number of other Hornets attempting to stage a robbery of generators, planning to use them to build city-wide nullifying tech against the imPorts. They are all apprehended at the end.
    
    In Nonah, a smaller group tracks down Veronica Conway/Nitestar and assist in her formal arrest.
    
    With the dismantling of the hive, the arrests of the Hornets and freeing of former heroes, imPorts are hailed as heroes by locals nation-wide.
    
  • 24th - Those infected by the Virus Sting/Hornet mind clones have them triggered and their personalities are overtaken by individual Hornet members. Chaos breaks out in the city of Heropa. ImPorts are forced to fight one another while struggling to put out fires, prevent property destruction and murder. At Cape Canaveral's base, Annie Leonhart who has also been infected, attacks the Porter lab resulting in the near destruction of the lab and death of several military and lab personnel, including the head Porter scientist Dr. Moira Nomos.
    
  • 27th - ImPorts are cured of the virus via their own means or the nanites in their bodies. The US government denounces the Hornet attacks and pardons imPorts for a crime they did not consciously commit. Around the world, US allies praise imPorts for the dismantling of the Hornets while those allied or sympathetic toward the USSR are convinced the US has little to no control over "dangerous superhuman weapons". Reconstruction begins immediately in Heropa and other cities that were damaged in the attacks. Eleni Wang returns to Greece and Liana Greenwood is left in hospital care, close to her family.
• March 24 - De Chima's imPort Ambassador Mitchell Hundred receives approval to install security cameras in high-crime areas in the city. This is not greeted with much enthusiasm from the public.
  
• April 3 - Solf J. Kimblee plants bombs at an airport in New York. ImPorts are able to deactivate the bombs before detonation. Kimblee is apprehended.
  
• April 16-30 After returning home temporarily, Newt is Ported back in carrying a virus from his home world that spreads throughout Heropa. A quarantine is set up within the city as locals and imPorts scramble to find a cure.
  
  • 23rd - An imPort dragon, Crematia, is infected and proceeds to rampage. A dozen locals are killed during her virus-induced attack.
    
  • 25th - A band of imPorts are able to put an end to the dragon's rampage. Crematia is killed. During this time imPorts are able to create and begin administering a cure for the virus.
    
  • 30th - The virus ceases spreading and those once infected are cured. The virus kills a total of twenty locals.
  
  
• May 17-18 - Melkor raises an army of undead in Maurtia Falls, promptly setting fire to two blocks of the city. ImPorts once again band together and fend off the zombies, apprehending Melkor.
  
• May 23-24 - Hank Pym accidentally unleashes blob-like, flesh-eating monsters. The situation is handled quickly, however twenty-three locals are killed during the attacks.
  
• May 25 - Secretary of Defense Lacey Chases makes an announcement regarding traveling abroad, the Federal Government granting Registered imPorts official charge of handling Unsettled Vigilante cases and about ex-Captain Holiday's discharge from psychiatric care.
  
• June - August - The organization known as Archangel - a group of imPorts, mainly Unregistered, dedicated to ridding Maurtia Falls of crime - experiences its rise and inevitable fall; while crime has decreased because of their efforts, their presence was a polarizing force due to the illegality of their actions. This culminated in their arrest and harsher treatment of Unregistered imPorts, including searches of Unregistered imPorts at state borders. Maurtia Falls is officially made the city most wary of imPorts.
  
• June 1-7 - Lucifer steals the four rings of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, wreaking havoc across the general imPort population. In the ensuing chaos, seven natives are killed.
  
  • 1-3 - Exposure to the ring of Pestilence, wielded unwittingly by Frederick Chilton, makes imPorts fall into a deep sleep in a shared dreamscape, ranging from fanciful to horrific.
    
  • 3-5 - Exposure to the ring of War, wielded unwittingly by Jeff Winger, triggers anger and hallucinations in affected imPorts, causing them to behave in erratic, violent ways towards both the native population and their fellow imPorts.
    
  • 5-7 - Exposure to the ring of Famine, wielded willingly by Raina, makes imPorts give into the compulsive urges that they usually keep restrained.
  
  
• August - Jonathan Crane used a massive fear gas attack to turn the August Swear-In into a nightmare for attendees. The attack devastated a swath of De Chima (the government issued an assignment for imPorts just to help recover afterward) and had a major impact on how natives viewed imPorts.
