What you know
Book 1: Intervention
- Ch 2Marc's Metapsychic Rebellion will climax the memoirs.
Book 2: Jack the Bodiless
- Ch 4In the dream, the Rebellion ends with a blue-and-white planet exploding and the Galactic Milieu beginning to die.
- Ch 25Anna's group of Magnate-Designates, who see the Remillard Dynasty's mindpowers as part of the problem, and who have all been tested on the machine.
- Ch 37The Rebels informally named themselves and aim to extricate humanity from the Milieu; they originally agreed to use only peaceful means.
- Ch 37The Rebels face a Milieu threat: if humans try to withdraw, they would be quarantined and denied interstellar travel.
- Ch 39The rivalry between Marc and Jack that led to the Metapsychic Rebellion began during their secret walks in Pine Park.
Book 3: Diamond Mask
- Ch 5Originally operants, it expanded to include normals; Caledonia's nonoperant population was already flirting with sedition by 2054.
- Ch 8Severin and Adrien lead the anti-Unity Rebel faction, which favours peaceable human separation from the Milieu; Paul fears it looks like Fury's plan.
- Ch 21The Rebel movement is spreading, especially among nonoperants in the human colonies, and questions the value of Unity.
- Ch 23Its active phase was delayed nearly a decade until Satsuma could produce mental weaponry.
Book 4: Magnificat
- Ch 1Rogi says the Rebellion was officially fought for human liberation, but Marc mainly declared war because Mental Man was condemned and cancelled.
- Ch 6Senior Rebels know about Hydra and Fury because of Adrien Remillard.
- Ch 6Rebels hope to build CE hats secretly without getting caught.
- Ch 7The Rebels want humanity out of the Milieu, but their agenda is otherwise unlike Fury's.
- Ch 9Rebel magnates such as Annushka Gawrys, Hiroshi Kodama and Cordelia Warshaw may use the coadunation announcement to inflame anti-Unity sentiment.
- Ch 15The Rebels oppose Unity and are prepared to fight for their cause, with Marc as their leader.
- Ch 15The Metapsychic Rebellion is an ongoing conflict the narrator wanted to forget by fleeing to the Pliocene Exile.
- Ch 18Loyalist humans hesitate to investigate Rebel militancy because it would polarize the Polity; the exotic races view the Rebels guilelessly.
- Ch 18The Rebels include firebrands like Rory Muldowney, and the exotics like Marc's easy manner more than Annushka Gawrys's dour inflexibility.
- Ch 20Marc's war simulations show the Rebels would lose against a Milieu psychocreative metaconcert unless they had about nine thousand GMs with rigs plus a hundred paramounts.
- Ch 21The Milieu's injunction against Mental Man, widely defied, began the final act of the Metapsychic Rebellion.
- Ch 32128 Rebel magnates refused the oath and were expelled from the Concilium, then travelled to Okanagon aboard the CSS Tyndareus.
- Ch 32They warned that any attack on or sequestering of Okanagon or Earth would bring immediate retaliation, and demanded the Unity Protocol be rescinded.
- Ch 33The Rebel majority, including Marc, will stage another cataclysmic demonstration unless serious independence negotiations begin; the fifty-day deadline passed without Milieu response.
