2432 CE: Genetic manipulation has reached its peak. IQs can now be specially engineered to 200. Hair color, eyes, and other features are for parents to control. Personality manipulation is the stuff of science fiction and can never be achieved.
2563 CE: Atomic manipulation is available. Atoms can be created and destroyed at will.
2585 CE: "The Dark" all metal in the world goes dark for 10 seconds, then humanity blacks out for 10 years while specially engineered drones and probes go around the world and insert an electric virus emitter. The virus is controlled by a man named Giov Morodimi. Humanity is aware only of the 10 seconds during which all electricity stopped and all metal went mysteriously black. Many speculators believe aliens, but this was disproved by NASA.
2654 CE: Giov Morodimi enters a cyrochamber where he will achieve sub-sentient immortality. His mind still controls the virus emitters and the viruses themselves.
2733 CE: Giov releases virus. His cousin, Derigm Morodimi, institutes "The Hack". All alter-egos are put in cryostasis and their personalities are carried by the infected cells to the virus emitters, who in turn "Upload" them to a mysterious supercomputer known as the "L-Net", standing for "Life-Network". It is now 0 LNR (Life Network Rotations).
0.5 LNR: Derigm voluntarily joins the L-Net to assimilate humanity for "The Return", when they will all be enslaed to the Morodimis. Derigm and Giov cannot figure out how to directly control personalities, but they know how to code it into their minds.
50 LNR: The Morodimis lose control. Nobody knows why. Legend says that Derigm's key to the Return is still hidden in the L-Net.
250 LNR: Civilization is reestablished. Various cyber-governments spring up.
