  • 2041 With the widespread use of robot labor, unemployment for the poor hits and all time high world wide. 60% of all vehicles in the FAS and Europe are computer driven. Most restaurants utilize electronic order takers. Large sections of the poor begin to actively scrounge and dig out metal from the refuse piles of the past for sale. Older tech is prized for the copper/silver components.

Briscoe Gosselin makes a breakthrough discovery in gravitational manipulation.

    100 vampires are found as pillars of ash under Shevulich volcano in western Russia.
  • 2044 The first reliable "hover cars" are introduced. Riding .5 meters off the ground, they are completely smooth and capable of up to 600 kph with the propulsion engines they are manufactured with. Onboard overrides are installed to hold the speed below 220 kph. Water is no obstacle, and hover cars begin using the rivers for major highways.
  • April 10, An EMP is detonated over the southwest destroying the power grid for the southwestern WAIS. Arizona, Southern Colorado, Eastern (east of the Sierra Nevadas) California, New Mexico, and the Native Nations districts are effected. the Capital city of Denver is spared due to efforts to protect the power grid already happening there. Denvers population doubles in a matter of a few months. The event is blamed on a drug cartel. It takes more than a year to get the power grid back up consistently. 900,000 people die of dysentery, lack of food and refrigeration. There is a mass migration north to power.

    is high. 
  • 2046 Using lasers and satellite guidance tech, London builds the worlds first above the city highway for hover cars to relieve congestion. The 100 as it is called because of it's height in kilometers above the tallest building in London is revolutionary. Three months afterwards Japan brings it's own 100 online.
    2047 Japan builds a superhighway from Tokyo to San Francisco. The Kume Kaisha introduce heavy hauler hover vehicles for the movement of goods.
    Matashima Kaisha creates localized gravitational weapons. Using discs the Kaisha created a "grenade" that creates a 4G atmosphere in a 15' radius. Humans are crushed to the earth, unable to move, while not being harmed. Police and military units begin using them for crowd control.
  • The Texas Army shoots down hover vehicles crossing the Louisiana border heading towards New Orleans. The FAS denies knowledge of their existence.
  • 2048 A guided highway is created from the UK to the mainland. Distance cars are built,with a thorium fuel system, capable of staying in constant operation for a 10 year cycle.

2050

  • A guided highway is built between Europe and the FAS.
