Timeline: The Gal Pals

This site has recently gotten a major CSS upgrade, and some articles may look strange until I'm able to update them. Leave a comment on any you'd like me to prioritize, or report anything that's unusable or unreadable.
This timeline covers the events of the Gal Pals Campaign. It and many associated articles are works in progress and will get filled in over time.

A New...Friend?

01 Jan 3228
Jorie Grey hires Atticus de León and Trey to investigate the mysterious research base orbiting Nisora, only to find all but one inhabitant murdered.   The base is owned by the black market group known as the Syndicate. The murderous invader is the Perimeter Agency, a secretive military branch of the main galactic government.   Perimeter's target is the remaining survivor, someone they see as a galactic threat -- an alien named Bry.

The Gala

26 Feb 3228
Nisora's legal status as neutral ground prohibits Perimeter from arresting Bry. In an encounter with Perimeter Agent Emil Gonzales, they learn Perimeter is establishing a case to prove the threat Bry and his rescuers pose is enough to break neutrality.   Knowing Perimeter is too big to fight on their own, Jorie, Atticus, and Trey host a party to convince other local factions to join them against the political invasion.   Tensions are high, but it seems things could end positively, until the lights go out. After a frantic chase, they discover Perimeter bribed a local to sabotage the event.

Mine Your Business

23 Mar 3228
The gala was a start, but there's more work to do to ally Galendran factions against Perimeter. Especially now that they know they're up against Sergeant Lawrence Anders, a veteran known for getting results.   To appeal to the union, mostly comprised of factory workers, they work with three VI bosses to find the source of supply chain problems. The cause is a burrowbug infestation corroding raw materials. They delve deep underground to take out the hive, allowing Nisora United to provide under-the-table materials to the Wyre Rats.   The union members seem surprised by what the Rats ask for, but that's probably fine...

Poisoning the Well

20 Apr 3228
Cryptix, the most powerful gang in the city, keeps the population in check with a subtle drug they call Control. Knowing the gang won't cooperate with others against Perimeter, the next step is to break their control.   Jorie, Atticus, and Trey locate and infiltrate the secret manufacturing site known as the Well. Though they disrupt Cryptix's ability to create the drug and gather intell to create an antidote, they let the chemist behind the process go free.   Cryptix's leader, Saimon, is eager for retribution, and has demanded his lieutenants Skullder and Elvira enact it for him.

Extracurricular

13 Jun 3228
Now with both Perimeter and Cryptix after them, Jorie, Atticus, Trey, and Bry need to lay low. Upon hearing Jorie's mother on Xeros is deathly ill, the solution becomes clear. They make a deal with a pair of local pirates to escape the planet.   To save Jorie's mother, Trey reconnects with childhood friend Twelve and faces his past as an Emerald Legion test subject. The four are able to destroy the Legion facility, free the remaining test subjects, and get the needed medicine.   Jorie gets to the bottom of her mother's illness, and finds proof Blue Spire Academy president Norah Everdin is behind deadly, unethical experimentation on BSA staff and students.

Fact Checking

18 Jul 3228
Leaving Jorie with her family on Xeros, Atticus, Trey, and Bry follow a lead to Devali.   Atticus and his wife meet with an Abraian veteran on Sagaria, where they learn about Perimeter Sergean Lawrence Anders' true past as Abraian special forces member Andres Lorenz.   Meanwhile, Trey and Bry attend a diplomatic party in Abraia. In doing favors for some diplomats, they're able to get official documents about Andres Lorenz to use in their case against the Sergeant.   Their vacation is cut short, however, and Perimeter has followed their trail. They narrowly escape capture and return to Nisora, where they reunite with Jorie.

Boom

3 Sep 3228
They arrive back on Nisora with renewed direction, now calling themselves the Gal Pals.   K-Ra of the Wyre Rats reveals what she's been doing with materials received from Nisora United: Making "color bombs" - vibrant explosives containing fireworks and paint. Suspecting a spy within the Rats, she needed the Gal Pals to help her plant the bombs beneath the commercial district. The commercial district has long been the front line of the culture war between local and off-world influences. In setting the bombs there, and destroying a significant portion of the "sanitized" commercial district, they send a message that Nisora will keep fighting back.   Though they succeeded, not everything went to plan. An unknown someone kept interfering with their plans. As if this someone could predict their actions.
