THE HISTORY BEHIND YOU

The world already has years of blackouts, surveillance, hacking, corporate expansion, criminal networks and political conflict behind it.
ctOS changed the cities.
Blume built an increasingly connected infrastructure.
The original Chicago events changed relationships and exposed hidden networks.
The 2003 blackout became part of the history of the world.
Aiden Pearce left consequences behind him.
DedSec emerged as a force against surveillance and centralized control.
Marcus Holloway and DedSec San Francisco challenged ctOS 2.0 and Blume.
Bloodline connected older figures and newer conflicts.
London developed under massive surveillance, Albion security and the events surrounding Zero-Day.
Old enemies remain dangerous.
Old alliances can survive.
Old crimes can remain unsolved.
Old information can still have value.
Known characters continue to have their own relationships, obligations and histories.
The network remembers what people tried to erase.

A gang can remember what happened.
A civilian can recognize you later.
A relationship can change because of something that happened days earlier.
A contract can create consequences after it is finished.
