Indeed. It states clearly that Jenkins was captured, and that no cure was found for the plague. You get the cure in the last mission in Outbreak, and you rescue Jenkins in the last mission in Breakout.
This is Paragon... without _you_.

Dude.
Warcabbit got it. Thats gotta be it.
Okay, but at least by disappearing I somehow brought back Jackson Turner! Totally worth it!

Hmmm, that's interesting, WC.
Be well, people of CoH.
I find it interesting that the Zig article was written by Jackson Turner, the same Jackson Turner who went missing in a previous Paragon Times article.
Looks like we are in for some time traveling fun, fire up the TARDIS.

We have a special double-length edition of the Paragon Times today. From the headlines:
Outbreak Plague Rampant for Four Years.
Today marks the third anniversary of the Outbreak pandemic that has swept the city and devastated hotspots around the globe. Memorial services are being held throughout Paragon and around the country today. It was four years ago that the Outbreak virus was identified by scientists at the Rivera Medical Center to date, the plague has claimed nearly 1 million lives worldwide.
Read the full paper here.

BWA HA HA HA!!!!
For halloween, we're getting A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!! Except it's Contaminated instead of Zombies, and apparently, it may be infections / catching!!
BWA HA HA HA!!!! That's great!
The ouroboros represents a new beginning.
An alternate time line without, as warcabbit put it, _you_, from level one.
Ladies and gentlemen, with Warcabbits brilliant insight, weve cracked the surface of the story for Issue 11. Very awesome.

Yeah the more I think about it.....
Isolation zones in Steel Skyway and all of Talos? Huh?
Thats not right.
Well we know Recluse has dabbled in time travel and the "resets" on the anchors in RV.... what if someone tweeks the resets a little too far backwards....
Anyone remember the Story arc with the time traveler from the 5th Column circa 1940. Of cource it still leaves the question of Nemesis involvement as well... this scenario seems to remove him from the game.
They've been talking about a shake up, but this would be mind blowing.
One more thing... 4 years? Correct me if Im wrong, but wasn't 4 years ago the beginning of the CoH testing (Alpha or closed Beta)? I dont think open/public Beta testing started until Feb, but 4 years is an important clue.... (And arent all the fallen contacts that were introduced after the initial rollout)

Hey if they're re-writing the CoX universe history then maybe they can add in the Incarnate Epic AT

I thought we took care of that in Faultline. The only way that could be used to get rid of us is if we weren't here to need to be gotten rid of.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.

If things start getting as freaky as they do in 24 (the Sandman issue, not the TV show), I'm outta here!
edit: Wait, I'm thinking Materioptikon. Nevermind.. I never did manage to do all the Faultline arcs.

You're right. And on the villain side, Hard Time is the first contact you talk to and Angel Lopez is one of the second ones. They're also the only two villains who are mentioned as dying in the raid. Jimmy Dortz, the other of the two you're directed to, is oddly enough listed in the "We Remember" section.
[/ QUOTE ]
There is no need to remember.. my villain main IS Jimmy Dortz!
Oh, don't give me that look. I swear, I gave him that name in his ID card and it took me a year to realize that I'd accidentally borrowed the name of the NPC from Breakout. Either way I'm sticking with it!

Thats a sig and a half right there.
I've figured out what all this means:
IT MEANS THAT I11 NEEDS TO GO INTO CLOSED BETA SOON!
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND JUST, I BEG OF YOU, DEVS!
... *ahem* so, uh, yeah. That's what it means.

... unless they roll the two together. See my idea, above: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, woo hoo!
Also, this will make heads spin: Both ours, and whoever caused the non-breakout when our Broken-out villians find them. Though that will only spin once most likely.

Dr. Quarterfield is not on the list ... thus proving that I cannot shape reality with my mind alone.

Ya know what this is? People have often complained that they dont feel heroic enough. The Devs, in addition to giving us content, are doing pulling a Its a Wonderful Life and showing us just how heroic/villainous our characters are and everything theyve accomplished.
Nice.
My final thought about this post: The PWNZers could learn much from you about inciting people to post .
