THE BΘ✖: Summary
NOTE: Links to all these threads can be found in his memories. This is basically for my own reference, so I can quickly analyze character development, injuries, dates of events, etc.
January 2014 - Glacius arrives in The Box on January 25th via shipwreck, receiving a phone from Genevieve on the shores. On the 29th he converses with Paloma via the network for the first time.
February 2014 - Glacius converses briefly with Mia for the first time on the 1st of this month. Then he meets Mordin Solus on the 2nd, and on the 3rd loses his powers due to the solar eclipse. On the 5th he meets Ellie, then the day after that he stumbles across Mia, who shows him a walk-in freezer (and also teaches him how to use the text function on his phone). On the 9th his powers return. On the 14th, Mia loses her arm, and Glacius helps her hold out until help arrives. From the 21st to the 27th, flesh-eating vines invade The Box. Glacius gives Sally a brief demonstration (via video) of how he can use his powers to stop them. On the 24th, he stumbles across an infested Ellie, who he assists by purging the vines from her body. On nightfall of the 27th, he finds Paloma right as the vines are about to enter the room where she is resting and helps her escape, keeping her clear of the vines until they recede.
March 2014 - On the 1st he meets Clementine and spends a bit of time helping her look around for items for her friend. On the 2nd, Commander Shepard sends out a message asking for able hands to assist her crew; Glacius agrees, and after a spar to measure each other's ability, joins her cause. On the 7th, Glacius posts to the network asking for assistance in finding a place to dwell in the warm weather; Party Poison suggests the walk-in freezer of the hotel that becomes Glacius' home. On the night of the 15th, Glacius is exploring The Box and bumps in to Fun Ghoul in a bar; conflict is avoided, and the two share a drink. On the 16th, Glacius meets Kal'Reegar, who is tormented by Tali's recent suicide. On the 19th he is out contemplating his arrival to The Box in the shores of the Southtown ocean--he gets ambushed by a curious shark and Paloma finds him afterwards, helping him treat his injuries. Much later in the day, when he returns to the hotel to rest, he bumps into Danny while he is dragging a bunch of materials around and offers his assistance.
On the 21st, Glacius converses with Thane for the first time, theorizing on what happens to beings that disappear from The Box. Later on the same day, Jolene Harris leaves a distressed message on the network that goes viral; Glacius converses with her here, and the two later meet up to discuss a possible partnership, which leads to Glacius telling her about his plan to build a message relay to send a distress signal back to his people. Jo agrees to help him try to throw it together, as she has more experience with the human tech they will undoubtedly come across in The Box. On the 28th freezing rain falls from the sky, and Glacius posts to the network expressing his enjoyment of it-- conversing with Paloma and Bao Huan. With the former, he discusses the torments of human summers, and with Bao Huan he talks about his homeworld and culture.
April 2014 - The month of the flooding, and probably Glacius' busiest month so far. He meets a traveler (▛▋ ▞) taking refuge from the increasing rainfall in the covered bridge on the 4th and offers his assistance, then on the 5th encounters EDI while he is swimming about for fun, keeping her dry with his powers while she delivers a message. On the 7th he finds Jo working on the degraded network towers after he headed out to them to look for salvage for their project. On the 9th he encounters Paloma on the Southtown shoreline, and the two end up swimming together. The downpour increases in intensity on the 15th, and by the 18th The Box is completely flooded. During this time, Glacius is spending his waking moments scavenging for supplies or survivors, most of which he brings to Commander Shepard's base.
On the 16th he bumps into Jo while she is struggling to move her supplies and salvaged tech up a floor; he keeps her company for a bit after that as she is feeling unwell, and has a conversation with her that clarifies with him how he feels about their partnership (hint: he feels it's a bit more than that, though he's unsure how one-sided said feelings are). On the 18th he finds Mia stranded, and after a brief reunion he ferries her to Shepard's base where she can weather the rest of the flood. The day after that, on the 19th, he has retreated to the hotel for rest, beginning to become weary from his constant scavenging and helping of survivors; he stumbles across Paloma, who has lost her leg during the flooding. On the 22nd he stumbles upon a very unwell Party Poison, whom he helps to the best of his ablity, and on the 23rd he helps Shepard out of a tough situation when her leg gets injured. On the 26th he finally sees Jo again, saved from her terminal illness at the cost of integration with Biomatrix 117 (which makes itself known during this encounter). Glacius finds himself completely taken aback by the torment his friend has suffered, and is still suffering, and pledges anew to always be there for her, further cementing and strengthening the friendship he feels towards her. On the 27th, the waters begin to slowly recede. On the 28th he stumbles upon Bao Huan (this time in dragon form) and converses with her, piecing together what might have made Jo ill. By the 30th the flood waters have receded completely, leaving a flood-wrecked landscape behind. At the stroke of midnight on April 30th, everyone in the Box blacks out where they stand.
May 2014 - As the clock strikes noon on May 1st, everyone awakens exactly where they dropped twelve hours earlier. It's only been twelve hours (or has it...?), but it looks like the Box is on the road to recovery. A message is broadcast from the technicians, but no sooner does the network miraculously appear to work again that... it dies. As does everything else - power-wise, including Glacius' freezer. He and Jo head out slightly after noon on the 1st to see if they can figure out how the mysterious message was broadcast. At nightfall on the 3rd, Glacius finds Paloma prowling about abandoned residences and helps her find and furnish a new resting place. On the 5th, Glacius meets the traveler on the road again. Reception returns on the 10th. On the 10th, Glacius checks in with Shepard, and then after that tries to work out the confusing human cultural concept of being "first" to comment on something with Nathan. By the 12th everything inhabitants of the Box have apparently have been gifted turns on them. Glacius gets a respiratory infection from some water he got from Foodland; the virus incubates for a few days, making him feel progressively weaker. On the 13th he converses briefly with Grunt over the text-only network. On the 14th he encounters Poison by the Memory Board and learns that people aren't always revived when they die in the Box. By the 15th he is incredibly ill; luckily, Jo shows up to save him from the clutches of his failing gills. In doing so, she proves her dedication to Glacius beyond a shadow of a doubt. On the 19th, when he is on the verge of recovery, Jolene's clone shows up and convinces him to let her cut chunks of his microweave from his skin. Following that, the clone targets Jolene herself, and Glacius bails her out of a vivisection, then does his best to help her recover. On the 27th, Jo wakes fully from unconsciousness for the first time, and the two converse.
June 2014 - Newcomers and old hands to the Box alike awake on June 1st to a notice of quarantine due to a deadly pathogen in the hotel. Glacius encounters a number of people on this day as he seeks to gather information and provide aid, including Bigby and Legion. Later on the same day he reports to Shepard, hoping she can give him something to do so he does not die uselessly. On June 3rd, Glacius succumbs to the hotel plague shortly after giving Jolene a eulogy he feels is befitting of someone who has been such a true friend. Following his death, people seeking to break the quarantine in misguided attempts to rescue those within the hotel detonate bombs that wreck the bottom floor of the hotel. This also allows the pathogen to become airborne. He revives on the 9th, where he encounters Jo; in order to honor their friendship and to hopefully relay how he feels about her, Glacius imparts his Mote to her... and then ends up in a relationship with her as well. Everything goes better than expected. On the 10th he gets the chance to meet with Paloma again, intending to stop her from accepting any consequences of her clone's actions. Much later on in the day, Glacius returns to the hotel to find his freezer damaged thanks to the bombs used to break the quarantine, and pings EDI for help. On the 14th, Jolene encounters his clone; Glacius himself shows up to protect her, succeeding in this endeavor at great cost to himself. She drags him to the clinic, which turns out to be a more stressful visit than they anticipated due to the fact that Glacius associates Amal with the pain his clone inflicted on Jolene. The day after his clone clone encounter, on the 15th, Mia visits them while he is recovering, and they start to unravel some of his emotional torments. Jo pursues this endeavor on the night of the 16th, starting to use his Mote to figure out how to soothe him. On the 25th, he converses with Poison via network, realizing they both have similar motives that drive them. On the 26th he finds out from Judas that Paloma has gone missing, which causes him considerable worry considering his last encounter with her. On the 27th he sees a post Jo left on the network while he is recovering, and is proud to reflect on how far she has come since she was first brought to the Box while they take a walk together. While they are walking, they are attacked by an urban legend brought to life by the Box, and Glacius successfully defends his friend. On the 29th, Glacius admits to himself that it is likely Paloma's disappearance is due to a death, so he goes to look for her upon revive and does his best to console her once he finds her.
July 2014 - New arrivals show up in the ship sunken at the bottom of the lake not far from he and Jo's cabin, so on the 1st Glacius dives in to save them despite his still-injured arm. He encounters Groot, then aids Link and Eren in getting to shore. In his third trip below the surface he encounters Shepard, then helps Freckle get to shore. As he is surfacing from his final dive below the shore, he encounters Naminé, who graciously heals his arm, and the two bond over their powers of ice. Following all of this, Jolene has set up camps near their cabin to provide for all of the shell-shocked newcomers; Glacius aids her in hunting down a boar so they all have something to eat. On the 8th he converses with Rin on the network about what constitutes heroism. On various other days throughout the month, Glacius encounters a number of different people, some he knows well, others he is just meeting for the first time. On the morning of the 11th, Glacius responds to a post Shepard makes to the network, volunteering himself in an expedition to map out the Northtown tunnels. At noon of the 13th, Glacius accompanies Shepard and a number of others on said expedition. On the 14th, he awakes with Jo to discover that the Technicians have carved words into their bodies as penalty for the documents not being properly returned. On the 15th he encounters Namine and does his best to provide her with some support. The next day, on the 16th, Naminé stops by the lake again and meets Jo; his partner fetches him and the three converse. On the 26th, Glacius uses the Mote to teach Jo one of his favored offensive techniques.
August 2014 - On the 5th, zombies have begun to emerge in the Box; Glacius and Jo deal with them while they prepare plans to survive what is likely to become an increasingly dire problem. Later on the same day, Damian stops by to assist them. On the 8th the Marker has been aggravating the hairsays Jo harbors, which leads to a trying discussion between her and Glacius. On the 10th, Necromorphs have started to emerge in the Box in addition to the other strains of undead and infected, and Jo is driven by the Marker to attack him and knock him out so she can flee. Naminé finds him unconscious, and the stress of this month coupled with the pain of being attacked by someone he trusts and his perceived failures drives him to activate his Instinct Mode to protect her. On the 12th Twyla posts a video to the network theorizing on the origin of some of these monstrosities; Glacius sees it as a chance to possibly find Jo. Unfortunately, he is too late; the Mote relays to him the moment of her death, and he retreats to Shepard's base. He encounters Mia here on the 13th. On the 14th, Jolene revives and Glacius goes all the way out to make sure she makes it safely back to Shepard's base. Once they are safe, they re-stabilize their relationship. On the 20th, a fire starts up that quickly sets the Box ablaze; Glacius gets caught in it while he rescues the technology he and Jo have been working on, melting his icy skin and nearly killing him. Jo manages to recover him and provide the intensive care that he needs over the next few days, and he finally wakes on the 24th. After successfully beating back the fires and the remnants of the undead, Shepard announces a celebration on the 25th. Glacius is hesitant to attend due to how weak he is, but is talked into it, and both Shepard and Jo work to keep him comfortable during. On the 28th, Amal makes a network post after a long absence, and Glacius converses with him despite the lingering (unfair) hesitation he feels towards him.
September 2014 - At the beginning of this month, Saya, Jo, and Glacius all decide to put in some time and hard work towards restoring their cabin, which had been damaged by the fires of August. He and Jo get an early start, then later he assists Saya, and then a few hours later they all take a break for some breakfast. On the 8th Jolene proposes a town meeting. Though he still is recovering his icy skin, Glacius is doing much better by now, and is able to attend and make sure everything goes smoothly. He discusses the possibility of learning medical care for humans from Amal and meets Abathur. At the tail-end of the thread Jo has an unfortunate encounter with Rook, and Glacius does his best to cheer her up and take her mind off of it. Starting on the 15th, the populace of the Box begins suffering from frequent hallucinations. Glacius does his best to keep Jo steady and safe during this time, successfully preventing any harm from coming to her. On the 22nd, he suffers from a hallucination of his own and severely damages one of his gills; thankfully, Jo herself shows up and manages to soothe him. On the 27th Glacius heads out to the ruined hospital on Jo's request to meet with Komui and help him hopefully find an battery for his backup generator.
October 2014 - Starting on the 7th, life-force leeches starting creeping into the Box. Early that morning, Kerrigan makes a post to the networking warning the denizens of the Box. Now that Jo has broken her leg Glacius stays by her as frequently as possible to keep them from reaching her, only heading out in moments when his assistance is desperately needed. The only other time he leaves it to head up to Shepard's base to see if he can't help her deal with these things; on the way he encounters Amal, who has just bumped into the creatures. The alien nearly succumbs, but manages to fall back on a technique that successfully kills them. On the 10th a particularly cunning leech makes its way into their cabin; Glacius defends Jo, and the two of them work together to put it down for good. On the 15th, Jo wakes up with her broken leg replaced my a much larger one that seems to have a mind of its own, and the alien does the best to calm her down and help her through this highly disturbing scenario. Ultimately she decides to take matters into her own hands and goes to have Amal remove it on the 18th, but something goes wrong. Jolene passes on the 20th... and she does not come back for a long time. Time passes, and on the 31st a strange Masquerade Ball is held in a large tent that has appeared, and characters feel strange inclinations to attend. It is only because of these inclinations that Glacius shows up, where he sees Naminé, Poison, and Komui. He also meets with Shepard and Palmoa. Then, starting at 9PM, things at the ball take a darker twist, with characters' fears starting to manifest. Naminé is chased by an unknown assailant, which Glacius successfully defends her from; after that encounter, Glacius' own fears manifest in the form of Jo. Ultimately he decides to believe in her promise to return to him, rather than sink into hopelessness.
November 2014 - Jo's absence continues to eat away at Glacius. On the 4th he seeks an escape through the exertion of combat, posting to the network looking for people to fight or spar with. Shepard takes him up on the offer, and the two work on helping him get his Instinct Mode back under control. On the 9th Glacius, at a loss, decides to head out to the shore in hopes of finding Jo in one of the places he remembers her respawning. Instead he finds an angry pack of mermen that had recently been unleashed in the Box, and he loses his right eye to them. They also injure the uppermost gill on the right side of his face and his right ankle, resulting in a chronic cough and a limp, before JARVIS comes to his aid.
December 2014 - On December 3rd, Glacius receives a text from an unknown number that turns out to be Jolene, who had finally respawned in the Box three days earlier. The two are finally reunited, and they begin work on easing some of the trauma they both have suffered in each other's absences. By the 23rd, enough snow has finally been falling in the Box that Glacius--at the urging of his partner--can finally utilize the healing ice to mend all of the injuries he's received during his stay at the prison. On the 31st, Glacius and Jo finally have all of the components they need to finally realize their goals of using his technology to broadcast a serious of SOS's out into space. After they have done this, Glacius leaves messages in the inboxes of the people he cares about still remaining in the Box--namely Mia, Naminé, and Jo-- just in case the Technicians get wind of his scheme and punish him for it. It is a painful but wise precaution, as it is the last they will hear from him aside from Dreamscape encounters.
January 2015 - For the month of January, all characters are left in a state of limited consciousness by the Technicians, initiating the Dreamweaver Event. In Phase 1 of this event, characters are living in an idyllic slice-of-life variant of the Box. Here, Glacius and Jo are living happily together in the peaceful Verdance Bluffs. He also encounters Naminé. Phase 2 involves much more free-form (and often far less pleasant) Dreamscapes; Glacius and Jo encounter each other in two of these. The first throws them both into Glacius' canon, back to when he was imprisoned by Ultratech; the second causes an age regression that reduces Glacius to a child, though thankfully Jo is there as well to look after him. On the 31st of January, immediately after the Dreamscapes recede, both Glacius and Jo are put in storage by the Technicians as a consequence for their attempts to contact help from the outside.
January 2014 - Glacius arrives in The Box on January 25th via shipwreck, receiving a phone from Genevieve on the shores. On the 29th he converses with Paloma via the network for the first time.
February 2014 - Glacius converses briefly with Mia for the first time on the 1st of this month. Then he meets Mordin Solus on the 2nd, and on the 3rd loses his powers due to the solar eclipse. On the 5th he meets Ellie, then the day after that he stumbles across Mia, who shows him a walk-in freezer (and also teaches him how to use the text function on his phone). On the 9th his powers return. On the 14th, Mia loses her arm, and Glacius helps her hold out until help arrives. From the 21st to the 27th, flesh-eating vines invade The Box. Glacius gives Sally a brief demonstration (via video) of how he can use his powers to stop them. On the 24th, he stumbles across an infested Ellie, who he assists by purging the vines from her body. On nightfall of the 27th, he finds Paloma right as the vines are about to enter the room where she is resting and helps her escape, keeping her clear of the vines until they recede.
March 2014 - On the 1st he meets Clementine and spends a bit of time helping her look around for items for her friend. On the 2nd, Commander Shepard sends out a message asking for able hands to assist her crew; Glacius agrees, and after a spar to measure each other's ability, joins her cause. On the 7th, Glacius posts to the network asking for assistance in finding a place to dwell in the warm weather; Party Poison suggests the walk-in freezer of the hotel that becomes Glacius' home. On the night of the 15th, Glacius is exploring The Box and bumps in to Fun Ghoul in a bar; conflict is avoided, and the two share a drink. On the 16th, Glacius meets Kal'Reegar, who is tormented by Tali's recent suicide. On the 19th he is out contemplating his arrival to The Box in the shores of the Southtown ocean--he gets ambushed by a curious shark and Paloma finds him afterwards, helping him treat his injuries. Much later in the day, when he returns to the hotel to rest, he bumps into Danny while he is dragging a bunch of materials around and offers his assistance.

On the 28th freezing rain falls from the sky, and Glacius posts to the network expressing his enjoyment of it-- conversing with Paloma and Bao Huan. With the former, he discusses the torments of human summers, and with Bao Huan he talks about his homeworld and culture.
April 2014 - The month of the flooding, and probably Glacius' busiest month so far. He meets a traveler (▛▋ ▞) taking refuge from the increasing rainfall in the covered bridge on the 4th and offers his assistance, then on the 5th encounters EDI while he is swimming about for fun, keeping her dry with his powers while she delivers a message.

On the 9th he encounters Paloma on the Southtown shoreline, and the two end up swimming together. The downpour increases in intensity on the 15th, and by the 18th The Box is completely flooded. During this time, Glacius is spending his waking moments scavenging for supplies or survivors, most of which he brings to Commander Shepard's base.
On the 16th he bumps into Jo while she is struggling to move her supplies and salvaged tech up a floor; he keeps her company for a bit after that as she is feeling unwell, and has a conversation with her that clarifies with him how he feels about their partnership (hint: he feels it's a bit more than that, though he's unsure how one-sided said feelings are).

On the 27th, the waters begin to slowly recede. On the 28th he stumbles upon Bao Huan (this time in dragon form) and converses with her, piecing together what might have made Jo ill. By the 30th the flood waters have receded completely, leaving a flood-wrecked landscape behind. At the stroke of midnight on April 30th, everyone in the Box blacks out where they stand.
May 2014 - As the clock strikes noon on May 1st, everyone awakens exactly where they dropped twelve hours earlier. It's only been twelve hours (or has it...?), but it looks like the Box is on the road to recovery.

On the 28th, Amal makes a network post after a long absence, and Glacius converses with him despite the lingering (unfair) hesitation he feels towards him.
September 2014 - At the beginning of this month, Saya, Jo, and Glacius all decide to put in some time and hard work towards restoring their cabin, which had been damaged by the fires of August. He and Jo get an early start, then later he assists Saya, and then a few hours later they all take a break for some breakfast. On the 8th Jolene proposes a town meeting. Though he still is recovering his icy skin, Glacius is doing much better by now, and is able to attend and make sure everything goes smoothly. He discusses the possibility of learning medical care for humans from Amal and meets Abathur. At the tail-end of the thread Jo has an unfortunate encounter with Rook, and Glacius does his best to cheer her up and take her mind off of it. Starting on the 15th, the populace of the Box begins suffering from frequent hallucinations. Glacius does his best to keep Jo steady and safe during this time, successfully preventing any harm from coming to her. On the 22nd, he suffers from a hallucination of his own and severely damages one of his gills; thankfully, Jo herself shows up and manages to soothe him. On the 27th Glacius heads out to the ruined hospital on Jo's request to meet with Komui and help him hopefully find an battery for his backup generator.
October 2014 - Starting on the 7th, life-force leeches starting creeping into the Box. Early that morning, Kerrigan makes a post to the networking warning the denizens of the Box. Now that Jo has broken her leg Glacius stays by her as frequently as possible to keep them from reaching her, only heading out in moments when his assistance is desperately needed. The only other time he leaves it to head up to Shepard's base to see if he can't help her deal with these things; on the way he encounters Amal, who has just bumped into the creatures. The alien nearly succumbs, but manages to fall back on a technique that successfully kills them. On the 10th a particularly cunning leech makes its way into their cabin; Glacius defends Jo, and the two of them work together to put it down for good. On the 15th, Jo wakes up with her broken leg replaced my a much larger one that seems to have a mind of its own, and the alien does the best to calm her down and help her through this highly disturbing scenario. Ultimately she decides to take matters into her own hands and goes to have Amal remove it on the 18th, but something goes wrong. Jolene passes on the 20th... and she does not come back for a long time. Time passes, and on the 31st a strange Masquerade Ball is held in a large tent that has appeared, and characters feel strange inclinations to attend. It is only because of these inclinations that Glacius shows up, where he sees Naminé, Poison, and Komui. He also meets with Shepard and Palmoa. Then, starting at 9PM, things at the ball take a darker twist, with characters' fears starting to manifest. Naminé is chased by an unknown assailant, which Glacius successfully defends her from; after that encounter, Glacius' own fears manifest in the form of Jo. Ultimately he decides to believe in her promise to return to him, rather than sink into hopelessness.
November 2014 - Jo's absence continues to eat away at Glacius. On the 4th he seeks an escape through the exertion of combat, posting to the network looking for people to fight or spar with. Shepard takes him up on the offer, and the two work on helping him get his Instinct Mode back under control. On the 9th Glacius, at a loss, decides to head out to the shore in hopes of finding Jo in one of the places he remembers her respawning. Instead he finds an angry pack of mermen that had recently been unleashed in the Box, and he loses his right eye to them. They also injure the uppermost gill on the right side of his face and his right ankle, resulting in a chronic cough and a limp, before JARVIS comes to his aid.
December 2014 - On December 3rd, Glacius receives a text from an unknown number that turns out to be Jolene, who had finally respawned in the Box three days earlier. The two are finally reunited, and they begin work on easing some of the trauma they both have suffered in each other's absences. By the 23rd, enough snow has finally been falling in the Box that Glacius--at the urging of his partner--can finally utilize the healing ice to mend all of the injuries he's received during his stay at the prison. On the 31st, Glacius and Jo finally have all of the components they need to finally realize their goals of using his technology to broadcast a serious of SOS's out into space. After they have done this, Glacius leaves messages in the inboxes of the people he cares about still remaining in the Box--namely Mia, Naminé, and Jo-- just in case the Technicians get wind of his scheme and punish him for it. It is a painful but wise precaution, as it is the last they will hear from him aside from Dreamscape encounters.
January 2015 - For the month of January, all characters are left in a state of limited consciousness by the Technicians, initiating the Dreamweaver Event. In Phase 1 of this event, characters are living in an idyllic slice-of-life variant of the Box. Here, Glacius and Jo are living happily together in the peaceful Verdance Bluffs. He also encounters Naminé. Phase 2 involves much more free-form (and often far less pleasant) Dreamscapes; Glacius and Jo encounter each other in two of these. The first throws them both into Glacius' canon, back to when he was imprisoned by Ultratech; the second causes an age regression that reduces Glacius to a child, though thankfully Jo is there as well to look after him. On the 31st of January, immediately after the Dreamscapes recede, both Glacius and Jo are put in storage by the Technicians as a consequence for their attempts to contact help from the outside.
