* 02-APR-05 - [[Scarlett Kiteway]], Sente's daughter, writes a letter to the Sentinel.  In it, she embeds a clue to her own website: The Scarlett Kite.  This site, too, has been updated continuously ever since then.

</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 06-APR-05 - "Recon Eight Released from Police Custody"; we are introduced to the Reconstructionists as a radical group of religious zealots.
<p class=schedule>14/10/2004</p>
</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 22-APR-05 - [[22.04.05 Update|Sente sent us some mail]] promising a package.  We were sent to http://www.perplexcity.com/email/ (which is now defunct).  This simple action allowed people to get entered into the system to recieve their "[[Parcels|333 packages]]".  This appears to be the only time the 333 [[Leitmarks]] are ever to be given out.
<p class=schedule>10/12/2004</p>
</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 24-APR-05 - The Sentinel announces a desire to run articles written by people on Earth.  This would be known as "View From Earth".  This feature continues to this day.  Starting in early 2006, points on the [[Leaderboard]] were awarded for published articles.

</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 24-APR-05 - [[Bernardo Holyoke]] is murdered.  We don't find out about it for some while.
<p class=schedule>13/12/2004</p>
</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 26-APR-05 - "[[Five of Cups]] Owner Found Dead" article published.  It is the tip of the ice-berg, for us.  From here we can go forward in time to [[Pietro Salk]]'s death, which lead to the [[Salklogs.doc]], which led to us talking to [[Monica Grand]], which led to the [[Receda Trail]], which led us to ask about [[The Third Power]], and on, and on, and on.
<p class=schedule>16/02/2005</p>
</td>

<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 09-MAY-05 - the first "View from Earth" article is published.  It is by Hannah Saks.  it is excellent.  :)

</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 11-MAY-05 - "Holyoke Housed Stolen Academy Equipment" article published.  Followup item.  It seems aimed at misdirecting us from what's really going on.  Though they aren't mentioned, the "equipment" mentioned is the first appearance of [[Reynolds Ionizers]] and [[Klebold Plates]].
<p class=schedule>19/02/2005</p>
</td>
<td>
<p class=colhdr>


</p>
* 23-MAY-05 - We first learn of [[Joya]]'s pregnancy, at least speculatively.  It has little impact on the story proper, a this time.
