%title Marsh (or The Apocryphal Book of Marsh)

Everyone notices a jump in systime of almost a year, no one phys-side will give them a straight answer. Turns out someone figured out how to make a self-replicating virus a la the syringes that wound up essentially shredding the system. It was recovered (another thing phys-side is cagey about), but there are some changes. Maybe a small percentage of people don't return

* Marsh (they/them) --- *tracker* --- Root instance; disappears shortly before Reed is to merge down
    * Reed (they/them) --- Relationship fork, merges down to sync up once a year, discovers Marsh is missing, date has jumped, has to lean on partner, clade
        * Sedge (she/her) --- 
            * Tule (he/him) ---
        * Rush (they/them) ---
    * Lily (she/her) ---
    * Cress (it/its) ---
* I Remember The Rattle Of Dry Grass of the Ode clade --- *dispersionista* --- In a relationship with Tule and Cress
* Pierre Lafontaine --- *tasker* --- In a relationship with Marsh
* Vos --- *tasker* --- In a relationship with Marsh
* Hanne Marie --- *tasker* --- In a relationship with Reed

* [o] [Intro](001) --- The false start
* [ ] Part 1 --- Marsh has gone missing and the date has jumped forward --- whaaaa --- exploring the new System, what it looks like, contact from the LVs
    * [ ] [002](002) --- It all kicks off
    * [ ] [003](003) --- Dealing with fallout of Marsh being gone
    * [ ] [004](004) --- Exploring other clades throughout Lagrange, walking sims and seeing how others are reacting
    * [ ] [005](005) --- The perisystem feeds, tallying up the missing, building up percentage of lost personalities
* [ ] Part 2 --- Phys-side is being a little sketchy about what happened, turns out there was a reset and a lot of work behind the scenes after a coordinated attack between phys- and sys-side, taking the form of a generalized weapon that wiped out most of the System. Large chunks of it were restored after a lot of work and help from the Artemisians, but not total success --- virus loophole was fixed (incl. singular attacks), but no guarantee there won't be another work-around, plans to split the System into smaller pieces, move some of them to Earth/Sun Lagrange points
* [ ] Part 3 --- The ramifications, both global and personal (but mostly personal) --- a lot of talk among the Marshans, their partners, and a chill phys-side syseng --- looking into trying to reconstruct Marsh by cross-tree merging Reed, Lily, and Cress --- it doesn't work, so it turns into coming to terms with letting go of the past
