What you know
Book 1: Intervention
- Ch 12113 is the centennial year of the Intervention, which opened the Galactic Milieu to humanity.
- Ch 19Planned galactic takeover of Earth, preceded by a metaconcerted human request; Salishiss says it would mean over a century of proctorship.
- Ch 22Will be cancelled if humanity chooses nuclear war or fails to reach minimal metaconcerted mental solidarity; Lylmik cannot force the Milieu to accept Earth.
- Ch 35The Ghost says the Intervention will come when higher mental faculties are recognized worldwide and used harmoniously by enough humans, before humanity destroys itself.
- Ch 47The Intervention decontaminated the Holy Land, saved Xinjiang's population from becoming cannon fodder, and made Palestine the first territory governed solely by the Human Polity.
- Ch 54Since the Intervention, most human operants have lived in highly structured family and social systems, partly because constant mental broadcasting makes restraint necessary.
- Ch 66Lylmik action still pending; the revised schema says it must happen within five years on Earth or probably never.
- Ch 75Intervention is imminent; 20,736 ships from the 14th Sector of the Galactic Milieu hover invisibly around Earth awaiting the signal.
- Ch 78After the prayer, thousands of Galactic Milieu starships filled the New Hampshire sky and the Great Intervention began.
Book 2: Jack the Bodiless
- Ch 14In 2013 thousands of starships appeared over Earth's cities, ending pre-Intervention turmoil and ushering in the Milieu's Proctorship.
- Ch 37The Great Intervention occurred the night of the last Metapsychic Congress in New Hampshire, when Victor's attempt to blow up the chalet failed.
Book 4: Magnificat
- Ch 2Exotic starships filled the sky worldwide and humanity was inducted into a galactic confederation after Earth's metaconcert showed its Mind was worth saving.
- Ch 9If the Rebel faction prevails, exotic Concilium members could rescind the Great Intervention, according to Paul.
