Editing Mutineers Timeline (section)

=U War 1 (May 2506 - June 2511)=
<p>'''May 2506''' --- War is declared against the Independents. To escape the smothering restrictions placed on Enclave residents, Rina immediately signs up as enlisted Navy. She tests off the charts for engineering. The minimum age requirement is waived to enroll her in Naval Specialist School.  Her parents are against her enlistment and Rina's parting with her family is a rancorous one. Rina is installed at the School and encounters the hazing due a "'Clavie". She perseveres, however, and does well in training. </p> 
<p>'''October 2506''' --- War has been ongoing for six months and opinions on Boros are split. Quiet discussions had in back rooms about whose opinions are aligned with Independent movement. Jon Earhart is willing to send supplies and harbor people as necessary. His daughter volunteers her services as a courier.</p>
<p>'''November 2506 - September 2507''' ---Nika Earhart works throughout Georgia and out toward Blue Sun airspace, running blockades carrying messages and supplies with impunity. Builds a reputation for being occasionally reckless but a highly intuitive pilot, manages to outrun or outmaneuver Alliance vessels regularly. She is young (20-21) and considered a greenhorn in the movement, so not high enough in the ranks to be involved in the strategizing except as it regards running the blockades.</p>
<p>'''May 2607'''--- Fully eighteen and a Specialist graduate, Rina is assigned to the Alliance Patrol Boat, ''IAV Janus''. The posting is a good fit and Rina thrives as a Naval engineer. Within a month she's already a lifer, resolved to reenlist until no longer eligible.</p>
<p> '''June 17th, 2507''' --- Rachel McAlister returns to [[Delilah]]</p>
<p>'''November 11, 2507''' --- Capt of Alliance fast cutter <i>Tigerlily</i> (Shyla Kramer) recruits several key members of her crew (Yu-Shin Harrington, Brian Connelly, Hank, Garron, Pei-Ling Fang, and Jason Fraiser) and requests a pilot be sent to help "liberate" her ship to the Independent cause. [[Core_group| ''Harbinger'']] is born. </p>
<p>'''July 29, 2508''' --- Arden sent to Osiris</p>
<p>'''December 10, 2508 - [[Lighting the Fire Part 1|Lighting the Fire]]''' --- Nika Earhart gets involved in an op on ''Harbinger'' and it becomes a pivotal moment in her life.</p>
<p>'''2509''' ---''Harbinger'' utilized on a regular basis for courier work and evacuation of key personnel from Browncoat strongholds being overrun. Higher-ups in the Independent movement trust Kramer to use her ship as a meeting point when one is needed off the ground. Nika takes on not just piloting role but also the occasional turn as bodyguard, learning better hand-to-hand under Harry's tutelage and garnering a good weapons knowledge.</p>
<p>'''April 7, 2509''' ---'''[[Beggar's Tale]]''' Beglan is in graduate school on Gonghe. </p>
<p>'''June 5, 2509''' --- Arden in medical school, University of Osiris</p>
<p>'''July 08, 2509''' --- ''IAV Janus'' is shot down in a joint naval/infantry offensive against the Independents over [[High Gate|Highgate]], Blue Sun. The ship breaks up on impact and Rina survives with severe injuries. An Independent recovery team on the ground takes her prisoner before the Alliance recovery team can pick her up. The Browncoats remove the tracker she'd had implanted during Basic Training and she spends a week in a field hospital behind the lines to stabilize. During her delirium in the recovery ward, she identifies broken equipment by sound while still flat on her back, screaming repair solutions at the top of her lungs in Russian and Chinese.  This gets the attention of Independent Intelligence agent [[Michael Cameron Carter]]. He campaigns his superior for her defection for the sake of her skills in ''ad hoc'' repairs. He wins his petition and removes her to Salisbury for deprogramming when she's stable enough to travel. Rina is heavily sedated for the 24-day trip.</p>
<p>'''August 2509''' --- Deprogramming is successful and Rina is convinced to defect and invent an ambitious Cortex communications hack for the Independents. She manages it by the end of the month.</p>
<p>'''September 05, 2509''' --- Rina and Mike, now lovers, set Rina on her covert mission of installing her hack on the Cortex bouys. Mike arranges the kidnapping and execution of an innocent woman to steal her identity for Rina's cover. She and Mike part company. They will not meet again until after war's end. 27 days later, Rina lands on [[Ariel-Core Planet|Ariel]] to start her op.</p>
<p>'''January 22, 2511''' --- Arden graduates early, begins postdoc under Doctor Dakui Yin.</p>
<p>'''March 2511''' --- Last wartime run of ''Harbinger'' is to carry medical supplies to one of the Browncoat fallback locations. Upon arrival, entire base has been wiped out by Alliance. 42 dead bodies, including women and children, and no definitive ID of perpetrators ever determined.</p>
<p>'''June, 2511''' --- The shooting stops, the war ceases, and Rina is sent a covert message to close her operation and bug out of Ariel. Before the month is out, she's kissed dirt on [[Persephone]] with a new alias, [[Marina Kseniya Sebastien]], and a new job as a repairs mechanic at Omar's Garage off Eavesdown Docks. </p>
<p>'''June, 2511''' --- Treaties signed, war officially over.</p>
<p>'''November 14, 2511''' --- Arden begins his internship in //name of hospital// in Osirius</p>
