Current Mission Timeline: Mission 1- "The Signal" Version 2.0 (Updated SD 350621)

When a group of writers post, it can become difficult to keep track of the posts once a few start coming in; this is compounded by the fact that not every post is written in strict chronological order- we use flashbacks, flash forwards, and other tools when creating our stories. Having an updated mission timeline becomes an indispensable tool in keeping track of what is happening when during a mission.

• NOTE: This timeline only recounts the events leading up to the mission's culmination at this time. Reconstructing the entire timeline is happening as we speak.

(*NOTE- the post MD is actually 0727, with an 0800 hour departure time.  However, later posts all place
TAIYNAG SHEN's departure at 0645, so the MD of this post has been adjusted, as FIREBALL's departure time
