THE SURGE
Garage Guild records continue to reconstruct the civilization-altering event known as The Surge. Its consequences are extensively documented. Its complete cause remains unresolved.
RECONSTRUCTION
WHAT THE RECORD
SUPPORTS.
The Surge permanently altered the relationship between Helion, infrastructure, environments, machines, and biological life.
The Garage Guild can document many of its consequences. It cannot yet claim to understand the complete causal chain that produced them.
CONFIRMED.
The consequences of The Surge appeared across connected systems on a global scale.
Garage Guild records document unprecedented Helion instability throughout the event.
Infrastructure, environments, machines, ecosystems, and mobility systems were altered.
Motor Mutants emerged in the changed world after the event.
Residual Helion instability continues to shape routes, environments, and Distortion Sites.
WHAT WE THINK
HAPPENED.
Surviving evidence suggests that Helion instability propagated through connected systems, amplified environmental disruption, and created conditions in which biological and mechanical systems could begin converging.
UNRESOLVED.
THE SURGE IS ALSO AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM.
RECONSTRUCT
THE EVENT.
Follow the surviving record from the pre-Surge Helion era through the planetary cascade, the changed world, the emergence of Motor Mutants, persistent instability, Tracks, racing, and the formation of the Garage Guild.
The archive preserves the record. The reconstruction walks through how the known pieces connect.
