1989 AD: Berlin Wall falls (used this as the calculation point)
2003 AD: Blackstar merger
2007 AD: TRO 0 (what happens!)
2139 AD: Ethra killed in Peoria siege
? AD: ACT 3 - Duluth - Decateur trade route & Mayor's League founded
? AD: ACT 5 - Blackstar merger (again)
? AD: ACT 9 - Wichita connection

So this story seems to be set in the far future, unless they've changed the value of a year.


Maybe TRO and ACT are equivalent to Month or some other scale (troubles?) We know it doesn't take place in the future (due to the 2009 Teen summit information.)

Voltaire was born in 1694 and turned 13 in 1707. Perhaps being activated means becoming a teen.

 		on one of the pages, it mentions buying weapons and armor to protect yourself. Kinda like a RPG, huh?

 		Dormant Era
You kids living in the dormant era is like saying quit living in the past or the dark ages...

I don't think there's time travel.

I think that's exactly right. Also, as far as the TRO, the 132 may refer to the 132nd trouble, not necessarily 132 years after AD 2007. these troubles could have come rapid-fire, and the ACTs could be any measure, I agree.

Something is up with QUATI and those data tables might be solvable; does anything look familiar from the video that could help solve them?

It's all very interesting.

 		Debussy
Not that it's completely unique to him, but there are those who posit Fibonacci sequence patterns in Debussy's compositions. It's odd he'd be mentioned out of the blue in a sequence of numbers so wondering if there's any correlation here. Perhaps in the deltas between M-time and our time or some such?

 		questions about pg 26
What is the significance of the series on the x-axis (150, 226, 273, 304, 324)?

Is the y-axis simply giving us 1 to 5? Is there anything (the video itself, or something in the video) that comes in five parts?

What is the thing by the D in the bottom row? To me it looks like a square hole in the book perhaps? Can't tell.

Whoever posted earlier about putting the pg 26 and pg 27 grids together, I think that's possible. The blanks on pg 27 would be the only row not to correspond.

The blanks make it likely that the answer is a 5-letter word. How would we get this 5-letter word?

What is the connection between QUATI and the bar? Are there any other overt connections to the video?

Should the P count as one of the letters? it was the first letter of the sentence..

I also got kicked out of the chat room... anyone else?

 		That was me, I thought the grids on page 26 & 27 might be related...Now I'm not so sure. As far as QUATI, Mike just spelled it out for us in his message save a missing U. Wonder what the dealio with that is?

 		Been lurking for a bit, thought I'd contribute.

If 300 troubles does, in fact, mean 300 years then this could put the ACT timeline at
ACT 3 | Mayors' League Founded | 2310
ACT 3 | Duluth-Decatur trade route | 2310
ACT 5 | Blackstar Merger | 2312
ACT 9 | Witchita connection | 2316
ACT 10 | Book Published | 2317

Also they got the "Me Decade" right as DOR 27-18 would be the eighties. ha

 		Could be that the incorrect info is that the U shouldn't be there.

thorough purification. While you wait, you can fill out your city registration forms. Stay away from unlicense spas in the outer sectors; you've traveled too far to undergo cleansing in the back room of a parlour.

Feeling right again? Stop by the MTC office one last time before heading back to your housing complex. We'll show you a short slideshow introducing Milwaukee customs and culture. (If you're a teen or are coming from Wichita, ask to see a special video made just for you.) Also, if you are skilled or polyskilled, a registrar will add you to the Blackstar Book.

Now you're a Current Resident!

A New Place

Current Residents have many unpleasant responsibilities. If you are skilled or polyskilled, you'll wish you'd never been added to the Blackstar Book. But just as we bury Family Trees, we must too keep our dreams underground until the proper time.

Without a doubt, Milwaukee living is marginally less grim than it was during The Troubles. When things get bad, you can always blow off some steam at Antoinette's, the famous Bleecker Street card room ... listen to slow jazz waft in from the piers as you "roll some bones," secure in the knowledge that life may improve.

Let's talk about The Creep. Best-known as the punch line of the joke, "What's the only thing Go.D.S.E.E.D. fragments won't destroy and consume," The Creep demands
