AU WORKSHOP

TIMELINE
2024-2100: Foundations of Change

• 2057: An international agreement known as the Great Climate Accord is reached to combat climate change, with ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, and preserving biodiversity.
• 2060: The development and deployment of advanced green technologies, including carbon capture and sustainable agriculture accelerates. This marks the beginning of a major shift towards environmental sustainability.
• 2068: The first commercially viable fusion reactor is developed, providing a nearly limitless and clean energy source. This technological leap greatly reduces humanity's reliance on fossil fuels.
• 2075: Massive efforts in the great ocean restoration project are made to restore damaged marine ecosystems and halt the acidification of oceans, leading to the gradual recovery of marine biodiversity.
• 2100: Despite significant progress, the late 21st century sees a severe environmental collapse due to previous delays in action and unexpected consequences. Only half of Earth's surface remains viable for human habitation.

2101-2200: Expansion and Innovation

• 2120: The United Planet successfully establishes the first permanent base on Mars, "New Horizon," to conduct research and prepare for future colonization.
• 2195: Revolutionary hard-light technology is developed, allowing the creation of highly flexible and durable holographic interfaces and structures.

2201-2300: The Age of Change

• 2224: The first Hybrids are created.
• 2247: The Elheen became the First Contact with an alien species for humanity.
• 2250: An asteroid collision destroys Tellus' moon, causing widespread panic and a significant impact on tidal forces and satellite operations.
• 2275: The Tellurian Space Academy is established as a prestigious institution for training future generations of space explorers and researchers.
• 2289: Genetic eugenics is banned.

2301-2400: Challenges and Advancements

• 2350: Advances in cryosleep technology enable long-duration space travel, allowing crew members to remain in stasis during extended missions beyond the solar system.
• 2389: Mechs are classified as a species.
• 2400: New biomechanical technologies are introduced, allowing for advanced integration of human and machine capabilities, improving both medical treatments and operational efficiency.

2401-2524: The New Frontier

• 2439: The Hybrid Liberation Act is passed.
• 2427: A stable wormhole is discovered leading to the Andromeda Galaxy, opening new avenues for exploration and colonization.
• 2464: The Mnemosyne embarks on its historic mission to explore galaxies beyond the Milky Way, carrying a crew of 300 and 100,000 settlers in cryosleep.

2525: The Current Era

Humanity stands on the brink of new discoveries and challenges as the Mnemosyne ventures into uncharted territories, navigating through both known and unknown cosmic phenomena!

Insatiably curious scientist sounds like a pretty good fit! I guess hybrids too might also fit the DC universe conception of metahumans, but depends how you want to adapt that. She'll definitely end up working alongside at least one very augmented human, though

[metrop_lois]

Thankfully Lois herself doesn't have her father's issues. I'm thinking more about having her toy around with the idea of augmentations eventually and maybe some internal conflict with that. I love the thought of her being around hybrids and those with augmentations. Eventually I'd love to build up some sort of found family with her.

[lastdecember]

I think she'll be a great fit for the science team! Plus, as a snoopy kind of person, there's already a couple mysteries that need investigating (like where that missing crewmember ended up?), and I'm sure there'll be more!

[metrop_lois]

Yessss, mysteries she probably has no business investigating but can get wrapped up in. /rubs hands together

[itdoesntlikeyou]

look she can make it her business and no one will be able to stop her, it's a foolproof plan

eta: dunno if you need samples but even if you don't I'd be happy to do some stuff on the TDM etc to start things off

[metrop_lois]

Awww, thank you, I actually threw my app down last night and got in this morning. Happy to do some TDM stuff to start out though!

[lastdecember]

There should be a status report going up tomorrow (I think it's scheduled for the 8th?) that you can use to get started too! Either way! We're very backtag friendly here.

[itdoesntlikeyou]

Congrats! I've got a top level up already but if that doesn't work for you I'm sure we can come up with something
