I've been trying to make a TM for an upcoming game (the pains of which should be it's own other thread). I'm trying to figure out how much time there was between Crash 2 and when the UCAS took over the Renraku Arc in Seattle. I looked through system failure, but it appeared to only cover the events upto and including the crash, so I'm guessing the Arc takeover was some time after that, but how long after?
Thanks! -Lago |

The UCAS effectively took over the Arc shortly after the shutdown in 2059.

In Renraku Arcology: Shutdown, pg 49 in the small shaded box that is dated 1-18-60, there is a statement that the quarantine zone had been set up "
Just over two weeks ago." So, that's put it right around the New Year, if not a shade later than. |

I can't even recall it being mentioned with enough import that it stood out in my mind. Will check again when I'm home from work, however. EDIT: I do know that Renraku isn't even mentioned in the "Seattle's Corps" section...soooo... |

Yes, RunnerHavens has the intel.
It's been transformed into a closed housing encalve for the SINless and unemployed as Renraku couldn't pay the cleanup-bill. |

More like Paranoia. On the other hand, there is no date. |

Not the whole answer, but one piece of it...

Hm thanks Witness, I'll have to rethink my characters' background a bit I guess. It sounds like there was no RenArc when Crash 2 happened.

Might still have been Renraku people hiding out in it or trapped in it. |

Chronologically the liberation of the Arc picked up speed after the events in Brainscan and Deus' apparent death. By late-2063/early 64 (and SOTA64) the reclamation was almost complete but the ACHE (the new Arcology enclave) was only established much later after the aftermath of the Crash 2.0 was dealt with (sometime during the 5 year leap to 2070).
Of course, no one knows for sure whether the Arc was completely sanitized and what remnants of Deus' handiwork might still be hidden away in the glorified social housing project... |

So what is the difference between the liberation and the ACHE?
