Fashion statements. Wasn't tomorrow wonderful?

2006
[Aberrant] In Paris, designer Yamaguchi rolls out a eufiber dress with programmable patterns.


Yamaguchi was a protege of Anibál Buendia, and one of the first to put eufiber and LEDs in his designs when his mentor first exuded the miracle material in 2001. Now that eufiber chic is everywhere, he's taking it to the next level, with a computer chip that tells the LEDs what color to light the eufiber.

Today, model Kishi hits the catwalk in "Under the Sea", with its rolling waves of blue and green. Then, she presses the control stud and goes to the second pattern: "Windows". As in ViaSoft Windows. He admits to reporter Joyce that it's going from the sublime to the ridiculous, but they paid him well enough to offset the damage to his dignity inherent in making a dress with a screensaver.

1923
[Adventure!] Whitley Styles records in his journals that, as far as he can tell, Maxwell Anderson Mercer vanished into thin air last July. Michael Donighal has cabled him from the Far East, reporting no success and recommending Whit not waste any more of his time.


As we've seen, he found his friend again.

1924
[Adventure!] Whitley Styles records in his journal that Max's idea of the Æon founders spending Christmas together "was perfect. It was like a second family....I even saw Jack crack a smile or three."


Aww...

2001
[Aberrant] Lambert Asani, son of Congo diamond magnate Mente Asani, and his three brothers travel the world meeting with novas who could help Lambert's goal of deposing Congo president Laurent Kabila.


Asani doesn't rate a mention in the Aberrant core rules; he's entirely from Aberrant: Elites.

2002
[Aberrant] Over the next three years, much of the world's copper and fiber-optic cable communications networks are replaced with advanced optic cable, derived from studies of eufiber, and wireless networking. The new hardware, couple with new data-transfer protocols, is dubbed "OpNet." OpNet replaces the Internet, phone systems and cellular networks, allowing for wireless communications from virtually any location. It boasts an initial 700% increase in data speed over previous telecommunications technology.


The expansion of the OpNet is mostly complete by May of this year.

Caestus Pax announces that Team Tomorrow will be splitting into T2M Americas and T2M Europe. Pax himself, along with Lightning, Apollo Kid, Slag, Splash, Uta "Tremor" Stentz and Byron "Saxon" Graham (among others), will be forming T2MEu, based out of Venice, while Montoya-Bernal, Psyche, Jennifer "Slider" Landers, Ana Graça Texeira and Pualani "Pele" Kapunani will comprise the Mexico City-based T2MAm. Ragnarockette and Shadow Artist will remain members-in-training.


You'll be seeing more of those names in times to come.

Project Utopia launches Novation Toys, Games and Comics, its licensing division, to compete with (among other things) the DeVries Agency's entry into the action-figure market. Series I action figures include Slag and the Fireman. The first wave of Novation-produced OpCast series includes Team Tomorrow: Protectors and Slag: Hot Metal Fury.


That last one's a little redundant, but it's in the calendar as written. I may merge it with the other datapoint, actually.

Miracle material.

2001
[Aberrant] Anibal Buendia, a nova with the ability to reconfigure his cellular structure, first secretes the polymer known as eufiber. This material, which has the ability to bond with nova cell structure and channel and redirect quantum and bio-energies, becomes the most popular fashion accessory for novas and the wealthy. As a side effect, studies of eufiber enable advances in the development of optic cable technology.


One important thing eufiber did was make the OpNet possible. (Technically, it's synthetic imitation eufiber that forms most OpCable, but still.)

And it became the default material for nova costumes, since it could be charged with its wearer's quantum signature and thus adjust to his powers (grow or shrink with her, not be burned by his fiery elemental anima). In GURPS Supers terms, it gives its wearer the Costume advantage; for those of you more familiar with the Marvel Universe, it's like having a costume made of unstable molecules.

This entry is from one of those voices I mentioned last time. If he hadn't been so busy, it would have gone up on the day it got to me; luckily, only one thing had to be changed to reflect that. For legal reasons, he can't use his own name here, so please welcome Hugh Boone.

Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you...
