Oni's timeline has already veered away from ours — for instance, we have passed the start of the World Coalition Government (the manual says "2032", but this is [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=52887#p52887 meant to say] "2012", the same year the Freedom Riots happened), the development of phase technology ([[Quotes/Weapons#ph_stream|first used in 2012]]), and the beginning of the BioCrisis — but it's possible to reconcile all the differences in our timeline and Oni's by tying them to a single point of divergence in history and calling Oni's timeline an [[wp:Alternate_history|alternate history]]. This also makes everything easier to explain to the audience. | Oni's timeline has already veered away from ours — for instance, we have passed the start of the World Coalition Government (the manual says "2032", but this is [http://web.archive.org/web/20210324174419/http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=52887#p52887 meant to say] "2012", the same year the Freedom Riots happened), the development of phase technology ([[Quotes/Weapons#ph_stream|first used in 2012]]), and the beginning of the BioCrisis — but it's possible to reconcile all the differences in our timeline and Oni's by tying them to a single point of divergence in history and calling Oni's timeline an [[wp:Alternate_history|alternate history]].

Before continuing, an unanswered question from Oni is how Hasegawa could have invented the Daodan Chrysalis. It's way too advanced to be a mere next step in the technology of the time, and he only had up to 3 years to do it, since the [[Quotes/Manual#Konoko|manual says]] Konoko was orphaned (meaning, separated from her dad) at age 3. My approach to the backstory has Hasegawa inventing the ''Chrysalis'' — the implantable form of the Daodan — but not the Daodan itself. | Before continuing, an unanswered question from Oni is how Hasegawa could have invented the Daodan Chrysalis.
