2206

During this year, a few alpha and root strains undergo strange transformations. Declaring themselves to be angels, and here to answer for the deaths and prayers of those who understood that humanity has gone too far, they quickly take up positions of leadership within various 'luddite' movements, though some apparently abandon the cause without losing their newfound abilities. Almost predictably, the Consortium hunts them as well, though an established base for the refugees has made such hunts extremely difficult.

Further experimentation shows that while most mobius patterns cannot survive outside the heliopause, infusions and wraiths can. This has brought up some ethical debates, but not everyone concerns themselves with the opinion of others.
