Gwinn, Michigan

1871: The first mine in the Gwinn area is created.

1905: Gwinn Mine is founded in the northern peninsula of Michigan. A permanent mining town is built to house the miners and their families from 1907 to 1910.

1927: Gwinn Mine is shut down, and then reopened by "Rolling Mill Mining Co." and renamed to Archibald Mine.

1936: Archibald Mine ceases shipment of iron.

1942: Archibald Mine is bought out by █████████. Scrap amounts of iron are found in stockpile, and are shipped out.

197?: Airborne pathogen is noticed to be spreading globally, killing off the human population at a rapid rate.

Refuge Tower

1980: 'Refuge Tower' built near Archibald Mine, used to stockpile medical supplies.

1985: Major corporations shut down due to disease, global R&D focuses on a cure. Refuge Tower completes construction; over a hundred floors are made, putting everyone determined not infected and was able to read and write working on potential cures.

1986: Standard technology progress such as computers halts, so everyone is using Macintosh Pros as the world ends.

199?: Underground testing cells are built beneath Refuge Tower, researching DNA manipulation in secret. Accessed through the Archibald Mine elevator to a depth of 400 meters

199?: DL Stability Testing; Mask removal is initially unsuccessful, crystalline core deemed nessesary for molecular stability. Genetic alteration using outside DNA begins to circumvent mask necessity.

200?: Fusion Testing begins. Attribute manipulation through artificial pigments.

200?: GL-01 through GL-04 created through DL Stability Testing. 01 through 03 are put into cryostasis, to keep alive for further research.

201?: Town surrounding Refuge Tower is burned to the ground in a last-ditch effort to prevent contagion.

201?: 'Tier 3' Project created between two of the remaining scientists in an attempt to prevent extinction, unbeknownst to other staff.

Fluctuating Spacetime

The Tier 3 project was later shut down in 2018 due to causing power outages from continual usage of the travel gate.

2018: DL Stability Testing resumes. Temporal weakness causes occasional connection to other earth, sending JW into the Refuge Tower.

2019: DL Stability Testing is complete. MDL strand is stabilized enough to hold a physical form.

2019: DLS-MDL Test Failure. Subject escapes test environment.

2019: Insulation on Latex Morph cells faults due to damage from Shadow Goo, allowing ELF telepathy signals to travel between cells.

2019: Magenta Latex Morph escapes. Floor B2 Research Staff cubicles are destroyed. Only remaining data and chemicals stored within Floor B3 closet.

Territory Dispute

20??: Research upon DLS Species is conducted by external organization 0-Z.

20??: DLS-1, DLS-2 and Seer pass away, leaving their history carved into the walls of their original cell, marked with handprints from DLS-1 & 2, and blood of all three dried into the engraving.

Species Rejuvination

Following these events, the population of the Dark Snep species began to increase. By the third generation, the walls of the laboratory had been taken apart, carved onto, and otherwise tampered with to open a pathway to the limestone cave network which sat at the core of Archibald Mine.
