Events
Daedelus Project
- The Promise of a Better Tomorrow
In 1961 Charles Whitman wowed the world with the promise of free unlimited power for the entire Puget Sound region. The technology showed great promise to change the world for the better. One of several proposed, the site south of the center of the Emerald City was enormous, measuring almost 3 miles across. When the time came for opening ceremonies, the city united in celebration. Moments before the switch was thrown there was an earthquake, but the charismatic Whitman calmed the crowd and they pressed forward with the startup sequence. In the blink of an eye, the entire complex interior imploded in an instant stripping most of the technology from the circular ring. Then a few moments later wave of energy swept out across surface of the planet. - The Trinity Wave
The disturbance was dubbed the "Trinity Wave" by the media outlets who were covering the large religious response to the event. Appearing to be a cohesive Aura Borealis, it was an event that could have been witnessed by nearly every human on the planet. Scientists have theorized that the effect of the wave was mutation and possibly fortification of human genetics, respectively allowing for the arrival of mutants and mutates. Mutants a result of evolution. Mutates being those that somehow survived a near death event by physiological adaptation. Still others have credited the wave with other metahuman classes, but the scientific community considers this to be unfounded extrapolation.
Needle Disaster (under construction)
- The Space Needle
The Space Tether (formerly the Seattle City Center Space Needle) was the brainchild of Randal Cross, of Cross World Technologies. Cross created a high-tech consortium that planned, funded, and built a revolutionary elevator that literally connected the earth with space. Most of the old Seattle Center was destroyed to clear the way for the ‘Anchor Complex' which was built on the grounds of the original version of the Space Needle. As a nod to the past, the new design included a rotating model of the old Needle's restaurant and observation deck.
The tether at the top of the re-fit Space Needle was connected to a "statite," or stationary satellite, that used solar sails to "hover" at a point directly above the Needle. Passengers rode an elevator, called a climber, to the statite where they could site-see, experience micro-g, rent laboratory space, transfer to a docked spaceship, or just enjoy the view. Thousands of tons of cargo also made the trip more safely, less expensively, and with less pollution than with traditional launch-based technologies. As an important piece of city infrastructure, the system was run jointly by the Seattle Port Authority and the contractors responsible for the Tether's construction.
- The Fall
A deep, low frequency earthquake sets up a standing wave that tears the tether apart creating devastation in many parts of downtown and surrounding areas... - Aftermath
Steep rebuilding costs, lawsuits, and the loss of one of the area's biggest economic engines force Seattle into a recession with depression-like unemployment. Major companies leave town, dock work migrates south to an increasingly vibrant Tacoma, and for the first time in history City Hall is forced to deal with smaller coffers and a shrinking population. Those that are left flock to Rust City to carve out a place for themselves in the one place that's, at least theoretically, free to all who come.
