The Beginning Of The End (Pre Crisis Events)

Delta Radiation signatures have been frequently appearing around the globe in areas such as Burning Sands, Millennium City and Britain. Along with this are sightings of a robotic creature built from a new unknown metal. On top of all that is happening, Lady Recluse and The Arachni Remnant are involved....But how?

Noted Encounters

October 2013

- Threatening, untraceable messages have been sent to Night Spider and members of The Materdore Family from an unknown sender

- the Arachni assassin Lady Recluse was involved in the murder of the local "terrorist" known as Forge. After the crime was committed a strange robot appeared out a portal and stole Forge's corpse. Along with video footage of the robot a scrap of paper with the date 2035 was found where the bot appeared. This is also the first area where the Delta Radiation signatures showed up.

- Freelancer Ebon Widow discovered a file while going through The Arachni's computers (or what was left of them). This file opened new light on the case. Before The Arachni left earth, their leader Ebony Tarantula managed to gaze into the future to look into this robot, he discovered that it has a connection to Mainframe, The ARC and The Materdore Family, along with a future where humanity was eradicated by something known as "Orion".

December 2013

- The Nexus Force Building's Electrical grid was breached. At the same time, Delta Radiation signatures appeared in Westside and Great Britain (specifically the hometown of Lawrence Materdore).

- A Delta Radiation signature appeared in Burning Sands, New Mexico. Nexus Force member "Techa" responded. She found a very powerful android being attacked by Lady Recluse and The Arachni along with an unknown mercenary. By the looks of it Recluse was competing with the mercenary for the android. UNITY Agent Miss Valor was also present, but was severely injured. All attacks by those present had little to no effect on the android, and just as fast as it appeared it vanished. A single piece of evidence was found, a scrap of paper with the words: "Penthouse Level, Materdore Building. Alicia Materdore---Network II". This paper was taken by Lady Recluse as she escaped.

- A large mechanical creature appeared outside of Mercy Hospital in Millennium City. Nexus Force Members Tynn, Yuki, Plasma Web, Alex Brenning, Black Void and Night Spider responded and engaged the robot. About the size of a mega destroid, this bot was targeting Mercy Hospital for an unknown reason. Eventually the robot fell and nearly self destructed in the Detroit Sewers if not for Plasma Web transporting it elsewhere. The severed head of the robot was taken back to HQ for study. Later on the Arachni were sighted at the attack location....For what reason is anyone's guess.
