Code Geass Euphemia Of The Massacre

Code Geass Euphemia Of The Massacre:

Another Code Geass AU. In this one the Britannians not only manage to win the Battle of Trafalgar and cripple Napoleon's fleet but also managed to organise an counter-revolution amongst the remaining loyalists of Europe's old governments to overthrow the Napoleonic Empire.

Britannia went on to become the premier superpower of Europe, establishing a hegemony over the recovering and volatile states of Europe. The Holy Britannian Empire expanded in North America and India and either annexed or puppetized the former Spanish colonies when they succumbed to revolution, expanding to gargantuan size in the 19^th Century and swelling to such corpulence that it was struggling to stay together. Still the immense nation managed to totter into the 20^th Century, assured of its own superiority.

However a new revolutionary period began when a series of industrial wars with Russia, the only major European Empire outside of their control, led to socialist revolution breaking out. Socialism spread from there in a great world revolution that threatened to engulf the world as the Middle East, South Asia and much of Africa erupted into chaos. Britannia stood against and solidified their control over their immense imperium, unfortunately having t abandon several of their unsustainable colonial gains. An uneasy peace grew between the two.

All of that changed on August 10^th 2010 Ascensio Thronem Britannicae.

The Peoples Socialist Dominion declared war on the Britannians, fearing the development and deployment of the Britannians new Knightmare Frame weapons. Using shock tactics, Britannian and European collaborators and a deal with the staunchly anti-Britannian Republic of Japan (who had a very VERY bad history with Britannia) they were able to cut a swathe through Northern Europe and did the unthinkable, they landed on Britain and took it. Despite the power of the knightmares the Dominion had numbers on their side and overwhelmed many of the weapons. The overstretched Britannian forces were unable to muster a proper defence or come to the aid of their homeland and thus city after city was taken, fortifications were overrun and the people fled as the streets ran red with the blood of anyone the revolutionaries and Dominion's soldiers had deemed a loyalist or 'enemy of the people'.

Most of the Royal Family were caught at London and captured by Dominion soldiers. In their own palaces, as their capital burned around them, the royal family of Britannia were executed one by one. A few had been safely evacuated before the crisis but many of them were trapped. However in the slow and sadistic execution of such a large family, one child managed to escape.

By the Year 2017 the power struggle has solidified in a new and almost unprecedented way.

The Peoples Socialist Dominion is a leviathan. Born from revolution the supposed prerogative of the Dominion is the liberation of the people of the world and the equality of all. They are socialist at the base of their ideology, enforcing ideals that promote a collective identity in the people they rule over and a sense that the individual must work for the good of all people in their community and nation. The Dominion's government is supposed to be a democracy but is in actuality an oligarchy. When there are elections only one party is viable for for candidacy. The supreme position of power, which officially is not supposed to be that powerful, is the office of Premier Citizen. Beneath him is a labyrinthine system of bureaucrats and regional officials that constantly compete with one another for power. They are all carefully watched for ideological orthodoxy and conformity at all times. Corruption is rife and if a Party member is capable of proving their loyalty (or tricking enough people into thinking they are) they can get away with practically anything.

The economy is managed by the state and imposes production quotas on its industrial sector. Massive communal farms feed the population through the toil of numerous farmers that are housed in barracks and fed rations but never allowed to keep their produce. These farms are fully mechanised now but work is drudgery and dangerous. Poor safety standards and the possibility of equipment malfunctioning make manning the tractors, combine harvesters and other machinery very hazardous and maiming and death are not uncommon. The factories are even worse and are often used as punishments for political dissidents. Many products from factories will contain fragments of workers who fell into machinery that cannot be turned off except through damaging them. The Dominion has modernised their industrial complexes so that they are no longer toxic zones of desolation but the lethality of the factories, mines and other facilities remains an undeniable fact.

Dominion society is officially unbiased and enlightened. In reality it is largely Russian with clear influences. The collectivism the government promotes defines the Dominion. Propaganda extolling the enlightenment of the Dominion and the obvious intellectual and moral superiority of their political system is ubiquitous. Media is completely controlled by the government and often heavily censored in order to prevent sedition. The educational system indoctrinates the children of the Dominion at the earliest age possible, from state owned and mandatory day-care, to the universities that teach ideologically mandated classes. The people are bombarded with reaffirming messages of the righteousness of the great struggle against reactionary thinking and the delusional nature of their enemies. The state strives to not be racist and promotes an image of racial equality, not caring who they hire so long as they are useful at the job they have been assigned. Sexism has also supposedly been removed from society with women working alongside the men, often being forced to take up jobs they do not like in order to promote gender equality.

The military and the police are one and the same by this point with the designated law enforcement only receiving slightly less effective equipment (they use last generation knightmare frames). The entirety of the Dominion exists in a state where they can be placed under martial law with speed and efficiency. The secret police are a completely different organisations with agents infiltrating every level of society and an internal organisation that is just as complex as the government. Government agents and secret police officers are all fanatically loyal but they too have their own internal conflicts and competition for information and prestige is constant.

Premier Krukov, the current Premier Citizen of the Dominion, is an old man but he retains the vigour and charisma that allowed him to take control of the Dominion and make it the undeniable superpower it is today. However despite his own fortitude he is beginning to feel his age and he is more withdrawn from the public eye than ever before. The shadowy figure known as Alexei, an advisor to the Premier, is taking more and more control from the government. He is the one who orchestrated the invasion of Britannia and the conquest of their homeland, he is the one who directs countless secretive organisations around the Dominion and their 'empire' and he is the one in charge of investigating a series of mysterious artefacts and gateways that his agents have discovered.

The Republic of Japan may not be a socialist state but they are now staunch allies of the Dominion. Japan is a conservative state, almost on the verge of being considered reactionary by the Dominion. Their government is fully democratic with a universal franchise extended to all citizens of appropriate age. However there is a tendency for the old noble families to dominate the parties and be selected as election candidates since their resources often prove invaluable to the political parties they support. Japan is a rather traditional nation, supporting the established hierarchy and social norms rather than embracing too many 'enlightened' policies. The Japanese are also aggressively capitalistic and their companies have been able to sink their tendrils into the poorer members of the UFN as well as portions of Britannia. The Sakuradite mining industries are the largest and most influential and the families that own the mines are the true powerhouses of Japan's political system. However since they entered into their alliance with the Dominion an increasing number of Dominion troops have been moving into their nation, setting up garrisons in major cities and around vital areas under the pretence of helping defend the Japanese people from Britannian threats. The threat of violent retaliation in the face of refusal keeps the Japanese from doing anything more than meek protest, at least in any official capacity.

Britain, though officially a constituent republic of the Dominion, is practically a separate nation unto itself, at least in how its governed. Unlike many of the Dominion conquests the Britannians continue to be a disruptive province and appear to constantly be on the verge of falling back into martial law. This has led to an especially authoritarian system be set in place over the British Isles. The native British live in squalor as resources are often prioritised towards loyalist portions of the nation, witch hunts take place with almost depressing regularity and mass deportations have almost depopulated parts of the country. Military rule is harsh and the slightest infractions can lead to the arrest of an individual and his entire family. Countless resistance movements hide in the rural areas of the British Isles, often being used as justifications for the harsh methods and taxation. Great lengths have been taken to stamp out any form of the old culture barring the language. The memory of the Britannian Empire has been deemed reactionary and counter-revolutionary and therefore forbidden. Of course it still thrives in the more backward parts of the cities and countryside where the 'suspicious' and 'disloyal' have been relegated.

Battered and humiliated by their great loss, the Holy Britannian Empire limped into the next decade. However the majority of their territories held and they immediately went about reorganising their government so that the new capital at Philadelphia could accommodate the entirety of the bureaucracy. A new emperor was crowned and the Empire went about stabilising itself in an efficient and often ruthless fashion.

Britannia is still vast and undeniably powerful. The influx of loyalists from Britain, Northern Europe and various lost colonies around the world have simply reinforced Britannian rule. The atrocities committed by the Dominion and their allies have also reinforced their reactionary and traditionalist ideals. The Britannian monarchy is absolute and endowed with total authority over the Empire and its subjects. However whilst this traditional power is still within the grasps of the monarch they still have to accommodate the hierarchy of aristocrats and other officials who actually control the resources of the Empire. Britannia is hierarchical in general though they have had to accommodate a more meritocratic system in their bureaucracy and civil service. The nobility still hold most of their traditional powers but they have been forced to accept the changes over the centuries as urbanisation and modernisation took place. The cut-throat politics of Britannia force the nobility to adapt constantly in a perpetual game of thrones for influence over the government and the public. The Britannian parliament, whilst a powerless entity, does provide a platform for the public to voice their grievances to the Emperor and the Court who then decide what to do about them.

Britannian society is very conservative and hierarchical. The ancient ideals of aristocracy, peerage and the 'adapted class system' are all very real structures of society. Though social mobility is possible and there is a significant middle class, the class system is heavily reinforced and the authority of the upper class is absolute. Concessions have been made to prevent revolution though. There are several social safety nets in the forms of universal health care and education (their availability is universal there are still some differences in the quality you will receive). All the people of the Empire have also been granted citizenship with non-European members of the population being given the status of Honorary Britannians which grants equal status before the law. The upper class has also integrated the gentry of the Honorary Britannians as well. These measures were already being put into place decades prior and have finally seen completion in the last few years.

Even before the war against the Dominion the Britannian Empire was militant. Their nation was built upon imperialism and an adaptation of Social Darwinism. Though they may have integrated the people they ruled over into the direct citizenry the strict control and militarism they exhibited has not changed. The armed forces are seen as an honourable and vital form of employment and many members of the upper class convince themselves and their children to sign up for some kind of military service. The military also provide some special living privileges for soldiers which often entices poor or lost people. The entire citizen population is required to receive draft cards in return for citizenship which allows Britannia the option of massively inflating their army with conscripts. Members of the army who pass knightmare aptitude tests and are then assigned to the knights corp will then either be knighted or granted an appropriate rank of equivalent importance. This formality often reinforces the traditions and rituals that the Britannians prize.

Whilst the Americas and other major settled areas are all at the same level of development a few of their territories are still being modernised with planned settlements made of interlocked blocks are popping up around the Empire. Older cities have important or noteworthy buildings transplanted on top of these mega-structure cityscapes in order to retain some of their identity whilst remaining accessed to the new utilities and services the planned fortress cities provide.

The third power and the most bizarre by far is the United Federation of Nations. Whilst a political relationship had been growing between the remaining independent nations of the world it took the Dominion invasion of Britannia to solidify their relationship and finally formalise it. Australia may have been the nation to propose it but it was China that took charge, organised the loose alliance into a federated union and accommodate the many former Britannian colonies that had come to them for assistance. From there the UFN continued to develop, refining and revising itself until it was a third great power on the world stage that was the rival of both the Dominion and Britannia.

The UFN is a relatively recent construct but years of constant organisation and reorganisation have made it as real a superstate as it's rivals. The politics of the UFN are complex and labyrinthine. Technically there isn't supposed to be a lead state but the Chinese Empire is the obvious leader. The Chinese Imperial family have even become the symbolic rulers of the UFN and the beloved unifying icon of the entire UFN. The UFN have a representative parliament that accommodates official dignitaries from every state in the UFN and several supranational organisations with sufficient influence and property. A chairman is often elected from these dignitaries to oversee the parliament, act as speaker and swerve as a moderator or judge over decisions. The foundations for this organisation already existed before the UFN was officially founded and unfortunately this has produced some unintended consequences. Corruption that had already begun to seep into the various organisations that regulated the deals between the founding nations of the UFN has manifested within the parliament. Embezzlement, bribery and nepotism are rife within the UFN political system. Mega-corporations use their influence to practically run member nations to their benefit and monopolise the UFN's economy to the detriment of less developed member states.

The UFN is a very diverse place and culture, standard of living and political stances vary depending on the region and member state. However the UFN does try to enforce a standard of human rights, an influence from Australia. There are several pan-national organisations that focus on enforcing these constitutional rights though corruption does impede these organisations. The Chinese monarchy is the symbol of unity and they often hold considerable power over UFN proceedings though in recent years the power of the monarchy has bled into the hands of the increasingly nepotist and self-serving High Eunuch advisory council. The influence of competing officials from other nations and the conniving representatives of many mega-corporations keeps them from seizing too much power but their grasp on the UFN political system is undeniable.

The Federal Armed Forces are the armed wing of the UFN. Comprised of the armed forces of each individual member nation and united under a single command hierarchy, the FAF is one of the most efficient pan-national organisations in the UFN, outstripping all others. Unfortunately the equipment of the FAF is not standardised. The FAF is entirely dependent on the armed forces of its constituents and what they can provide. Standardisation is ongoing but it is slow and the UFN is quite a bit behind their rivals in terms of military technology and hardware. They do have some assets such as the immense and virtually indestructible iceberg ships but in terms of knightmare frames, numbers are their only advantage.

The only independent state is the Federal Kingdom of Arabia. At one point a vassal of Britannia, Arabia was cobbled together by the Britannians when they exerted their influence over the eastern portion of the peninsula. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire the Arabs annexed the western half of the peninsula and moved the capital to Mecca. Arabia is a moderately conservative nation but it has adopted some progressive ideals. Despite its rather autocratic and absolutist government they do have citizen's rights, a means of petitioning the court and are slowly involving women in politics and business more. They are at the same time very militant. Their border with the Dominion is an uneasy one and many Britannian and UFN weapons have been purchased to help fortify it. Despite sakuradite making renewable fuel sources both viable and available, the oil of the Arabian Peninsula is still valuable and fetches a decent price. The revenue from these industries is currently being funnelled into other potential businesses.

Knightmare frames have revolutionized warfare. They may not have replaced conventional weaponry completely by any means but their impact on the battlefield is undeniable. The humanoid frame invented by the Britannians has since been refined and adapted by all three major powers. Britannian knightmares have retained the humanoid form of their immediate Glasgow predecessors but it has been adapted and refined, developing into the distinctive Sutherland anti-knightmare unit. Dominion frames are less humanoid and more bulky, appearing more like upright tanks. However they are more heavily armed and armoured than their Britannian counterparts and have been capable of devastating assaults. UFN frames are the least humanoid, appearing more like conventional tanks than humanoid autonomous armour. However the Chinese built knightmares are no less effective and are surprisingly devastating when assembled in great numbers. All three powers are rushing to develop new weapons that will make their knightmares even more effective and powerful. New power cores are being tested and can potentially allow brand new devices, the like of which have never been seen before, be deployed on specialised knightmare frames specifically designed to accommodate the stress of such weapons and systems. The age of the 7^th Generation knightmare frame is about to begin.

In secretive locations around the world there are strange altars and gateways. Unknown to all but a select few these gates are the passage ways to a mystical realm of thought and pure consciousness. Alongside the mystery of these gates are certain individuals, immortal beings that wander around the world. Should a person stumble upon either they can be expected to walk away with a strange gift, Geass, the Power of the King. This unnatural gift manifests differently in each person depending on their personality, their desires and their mental state at the the time the contract was made. The World of C, the place beyond the gates rarely cares about who attains the Power of the King but the immortals are far more exclusive. In return for this power an individual is expected to enter into a contract wherein they must, and will, fulfil the desire of the immortal. What the immortal could want is often disturbing or spectacular.

Where are they now: (The butterfly effect insofar as the characters existing at all and having the basis of their canon personalities will be disregarded. From there its all fair game. Not every character will be mentioned, just the noteworthy ones. Also only canon characters will be mentioned, copious numbers of OCs would probably be needed to fill in the gaps).

Euphemia Li Britannia, as one of the youngest members of the royal family, was one of the last slated for an impromptu execution. Her escape is a thing of legend and has entered into urban myth. She now survives in one of the urban ghettoes, trying to survive whilst remaining hidden from the secret police. She has been horribly embittered by witnessing her families systematic slaughter and the knowledge that the same fate was inflected on those she abandoned that had remained in the queue of victims. Protected by Andreas Darlton, she tries her hardest to find some means of helping people, running as many odd-jobs as possible under an alias.

Andreas Darlton had helped lead the defence of London and had been too late in reaching the palace when it was overrun. He knows he failed princess Cornelia who he had been assigned to serve and teach (and work under in a way). He has instead devoted himself to serving and protecting Princess Euphemia instead. He works several inconspicuous jobs under a false identity, working to maintain some level of luxury despite the crippling taxes that are imposed over the portion of the city they live in.

Gilbert Guilford is the leader of the Knights of the Realm, the single largest resistance movement in the British Isles. He is an able strategist but excels more at front-line combat, leaving the organisation to his subordinates. His failure to defend the royal family is what drives him to target Dominion forces. He maintains a strict anti-terrorist policy and does not condone striking civilian targets. His organisation receives copious amounts of support from collaborator groups within the British Isles and from Britannia itself, making the Knights of the Realm a genuine threat to the British socialist government.

The Ashford Family were unable to escape from the British Isles when the Dominion invaded. Those who weren't executed (and they were few) were stripped of their titles and cast into the ghettos “to the mercy of those they have oppressed”. Milly Ashford has spent nearly half her life in poverty and has not benefited from it. Though she has little power she has managed to beg, steal and borrow enough resources and people to create and outfit a small resistance cell that she insists on leading. Though younger than many of her subordinates and supporters she does have a surprising charisma and is able to keep the loyalty of her supporters despite the hopelessness of their objectives.

Diethard Reid is both a non-person and one of the most powerful men in the British Isles. Several years prior he was declared a threat to the state for accidentally uncovering dangerous information. After escaping the secret police and making his way into the countryside he began to plot against the government. In a matter of years he built up the Albion Organisation, a system of informants, saboteurs and smugglers that were able to steal, smuggle or acquire immense resources which were in turn given to British resistance movements. Diethard, who is far from a stupid man, often decides who he backs financially based on their credibility but often demands details on their methods, ideals and goals for the sake of posterity. The main criteria for who he patronises is usually how interesting he personally finds each movement and their intentions.

The Malkal family were the ones who organised the uprising in Britain during the latter days of the revolution. In return for their support as well as their staunch belief in the revolution they were granted a position in the British government. They now govern the British Isles on the Dominion's behalf, theoretically providing some acceptable continuity between the old government and the new one. Leila Malkal has finally been admitted into the military. Despite her families devotion their failure to contain and crush the resistance has put them in a precarious position and she has made it her mission to crush the reactionaries and vindicate her family.

Odysseus Eu Britannia is now the 99^th Emperor of Britannia. His escape was a simple matter of luck and being in the right place at the right time. However the survival and recovery of the Empire is not his accomplishment. He left so many matters to his subordinates and the knowledge of that has left very ashamed. His involvement in politics is still rudimentary but he is working to force his way into issues and gain the respect he believes he has to live up to. Too few of his family have survived and since then he has also tried to work his way into their lives and help them as best as he can. It has been difficult but his attempt to teach his surviving siblings the values he believes are important (make of that what you will) has at least bore some fruit as they do respect and appreciate him for that.

Lelouch Vi Britannia lost nearly everything in one night. His and Nunnally's survival and escape was a miracle but the invasion left him traumatised and wounded. Damage to his torso and internal organs has left him weak, almost crippled, and physical exertion is almost impossible for him. What drives the prince now is a desire for vengeance. He has joined the military and though he did so through a paid commission he has worked hard to earn the respect of his men and has successfully led men in countless operations. Known as the Black Knight of the Empire he has ruthlessly crushed countless rebellions and insurgencies thanks to his flawless tactics and inspiring charisma. He has turned enemy agents against one another and even roped former opponents into serving him (begrudgingly and often through an exertion of force). The one thing he wants more than anything else is to obliterate the Dominion and avenge the loss of his mother, father and closest siblings.

Nunnally Vi Britannia was raised by her siblings. Traumatised almost as much as her brother Nunnally tried to repress her anger and grief, playing the happy carefree child. However in recent years that façade has started to drop and she has instead started to demand knightmare training. Hoping to join her brother on the front-lines and disregarding Odysseus' protests, she has started to undergo basic training. In all of her simulations and mock battles she is ruthlessly efficient and skilled, displaying an almost sadistic glee and brutality towards her opponents. Many are already stylising her as the New Flash and such praise is only fuelling the fires.

Jeremiah Gottwald had to be dragged from London kicking and screaming after the Palace was overrun and the city was being evacuated. His failure to defend Empress Marianne who he admired and loved almost broke him. He recovered from a near breakdown by devoting himself to the Vi Britannia children. He is now Prince Lelouch's knight of honour and an constant presence alongside the prince.

Anya Alstreim was another resident of the Imperial Palace that was successfully rescued from Pendragon. Remarkably she was witness to the systematic massacre of the royal family. Since then she has never shown an expression beyond mild indifference and become incredibly reclusive. Her only matter of interest, aside from collecting photographs, is an apparent and surprising desire to serve in the military (despite her age). Largely unsubstantiated rumours have claimed that she occasionally exhibits strange and unpredictable behaviour though many simply blame that on possibly repressed trauma.

Lloyd Asplund is one of Britannia's premier weapons developers. His unbearable personality aside he is a genius that, thanks to Emperor Odysseus' recent patronage, is now acknowledged throughout the Empire. Despite constant requests for his input on countless projects his only interest is in knightmare frames and the various additional devices he has developed to revolutionise warfare. His latest and greatest creation is the Z01 Lancelot, the first ever 7^th Generation knightmare frame that will change Britannia and the way it wages war forever.

The Knights of the Round mostly died but they have been reconstituted. Nonette Enneagram is the current Knight of One and a controversial figure in the Britannian upper class. Despite being in a premier position of respect and a perceived role model for countless Britannians her comparatively eccentric bearing tends to put off many Britannian aristocrats. She is much more popular with the lower classes and other eccentrics in the upper class and has proven to be a worthy candidate for her position and so her behaviour persists and her detractors ignore her.

The Knights of St Micheal, one of the most powerful semi-independent military organisations in Britannia, is on a near permanent war footing in the remnant of Euro-Britannia. Led by the young but inexplicably skilled Ashley Ashura, the Knights of St Michael have earned a reputation as one of the most effective fighting forces on the turbulent European War Zone.

Kallen Kozuki/Stadtfeld fled Japan when the Japanese government allied with the Dominion against Britannia. Her last memories of her first home were of fleeing as part of a group of refugees from Britannia and their empire along with her parents and older brother whilst Japanese people hurled abuse at her family and everyone around them. Her life in Britannia has been much more stifling than what she was used to and she has largely rebelled against it. The betrayal of the Japanese and the abuse she suffered at their hands has scarred her quite deeply which has fed her rebellious tendencies as she seeks something to lash out against. Despite her parent's protests she has recently signed up for the military for a chance of finding some release (or discipline) for herself.

Nina Einstein and her family were trapped in Germany when the Dominion overran Northern Europe. About a year ago the government discovered her intelligence aptitude tests and have recruited her for several special projects. Forced to work for the Dominion and with her parents lives being held over her head, she slaves constantly to successfully prove a theory she had only toyed with beforehand, the successful division of uranium atoms.

Genbu Kururugi is one of Japan's more controversial prime ministers. He was in office during the Dominion's war against Britannia and his government was integral to their alliance with the Dominion. Countless anti-Britannian pundits hail him as a national hero who helped avenge their grievances against the Britannians whilst his opponents (quietly) blame him for the Dominion's current belligerent control over Japan. Genbu himself has finished his term of office but is still heavily involved in politics. His family are prominent figures in the Japanese social and political scene whilst he has often used his family's resources and influence to affect Japanese policy as much as possible.

Suzaku Kururugi has been a bit of a disappointment to his family in his inability to make a good politician. However he has proven to be a brilliant soldier, albeit only after learning military discipline. He has since been deployed alongside a specialist task force, the Holy Swords, alongside renowned soldiers like Kyoshiro Toudoh to assist Japan's allies in pacifying their territories.

Kaguya Sumeragi has recently inherited the full responsibilities of her family after the unfortunate death of her father due to heart complications. Surprisingly shrewd and insightful, the young girl has managed to creep her way into politics thanks to the tutelage of various family friends like Taizou Kirihara and her inability to make her opponents underestimate her. Many of the Sumeragi's rivals have recently twisted her family and manipulated them into sending her to Dominion as an envoy to oversee the Holy Sword's deployment, hoping to distract the Sumeragis from challenging their regime.

Jiang Lihua, the Tianzi of China and the head of state of the UFN, is a beloved figure. Known throughout the entire of the UFN she is the inheritor of an important position. However despite knowing full well what is expected of her she is largely hidden from the populace. Her parent's unfortunate death when she was an infant left the power of government in the hands of the High Eunuchs who have used her age and inexperience as well as the fact that they are largely responsible for raising her as a means to exploit their power. Jiang Lihua has tried several times to leave the Forbidden City at Louyang and travel the UFN but the only times she is let out are to visit the homes of dignitaries which keep her from seeing the unfortunate victims of the UFN's corruption.

CC has been travelling the world but the Dominion invasion of Britannia changed that. Dominion soldiers that had been conducting a suppression mission in Europe found one of the bodies they were dumping a mass grave had gotten back up. CC is currently being held in a special facility in Krukograd where she is experimented on in order to discover the secret behind her regenerative abilities, agelessness and other miscellaneous powers.

VV is infuriated at the fate of his beloved younger brother. The loss of his sibling has almost driven him mad. His existence was secret ever since he acquired Code and the death of his brother who was his benefactor has driven him into hiding. He mostly stays in the British Isles, occasionally moving to mainland Europe when it looks like the Dominion secret police are getting suspicious of him. However a few weeks ago he got careless and was captured. Placed in maximum security he is being moved to a detention cell before the Dominion special services arrive to study him. However things will change indefinitely as he is moved.
