TANTALUS TIMELINE

2102

anomaly gene discovered when a patient with a brain tumor’s blood was tested. the new genome was mapped and studied by a geneticist, but dismissed by the medical community. 

2200

the global peace core  (  a rebranded united nations  )  agreed to pass bills in their countries to begin routine genetic testing of every baby born in a hospital. it was put forth as a way to screen for possible diseases and begin preventative medicine. behind the scenes, however, genetic information was being sold back to governments. this began the tracking of the anomaly gene towards the end of the 2200′s when enough cases began to show up to garner attention. 

2303-2310

the tantalus program begins to be planned as politicians and government officials workshop the idea of a recruitment program, wanting to get ahead of this before it is a threat. research is funded and scientists are recruited to begin laying the groundwork. 

2310

employees of tantalus, dr. harriet fowler and sara matheson, go rogue and take a baby with the a-gene into hiding. they are responsible for building the medical and security software for tantalus. 

2315-2317

nine tantalus compounds are constructed across the world. placed in remote locations and outfitted with top of the line technology. staff are hired and recruitment begins. children which have been monitored over the years are profiled and then selected to be targeted. the most socially and economically vulnerable individuals are the ones brought in. 

2323 

the first generation of recruits graduate highschool and begin training

2327 

the class of 2323 finish training. they are each sent out and assigned to cities across the world. their jobs vary from consulting with local law enforcement, to being sent on missions funded by wealthy and political elite. they are mercenaries and mere tools, but conditioned to not realize they have been turned into property. 

official recruitment is paused as they want to see results before continuing. some next gen children are still being profiled for recruitment. 

2328

doctor harriet fowler is assassinated by emil kindell. her wife sara matheson escapes with their daughter evette fowler. 

2326

agent etisha klein is killed in action.

2330

the next generation of recruits officially begin their training on every compound, some had already been gathered off books. 

2334

the tracker and kill switch implants are introduced. they are placed inside the second generation recruits. first generation agents are called in to the nearest bases to have the plants given to them. they are only told of the trackers which also serve as medical monitors. they are not told of the kill switch. many agents ascertain for themselves what it is after one of them tries to defect and, subsequently, is killed by it. 

2338  (  present  )

next gen recruits graduate and are sent off to live with agents and train with them in the field. (  ages ranging 18-21 )

evette fowler having caught up to emil kindell, targets him as someone to turn against tantalus. she is determined to turn any agents she can, bent on exposing and destroying the program.

persephone verse timeline begins during this time, in which evette disables his implant and he defects from tantalus. over the course of the next few years, the agents which next gen recruits slowly begin willing to defect as they have to witness what is happening to the younger recruits. many are targeted by eve and emil who can offer freedom.
