Introduction
Below is a timeline of the vents of the second mission, beginning with the first post of MD 1 and ending with the post that occured on the most recent mission date.
Please keep in mind that this is not a timeline of when each person posted, but a timeline of the events in our posts in relation to one another. This means that the latest event is NOT NECESSARILY from the most recent post. That is why this timeline is kept: to help the players more readily grasp the true sequence of the events about which we write.
Concerns about the timeline should be addressed to Rob Meier.
