We can’t risk a blackout on the No-Pats’ new homeland.”[^1] - Blasco “Son of a bitch, it worked! It actually worked! This could change everything.”[^1] - Blasco “We could tame the superstorms. Fix the environment… Fix the world.”[^1] - Blasco “With the Shearwater technology I could make my dream a reality. I could rebuild my home - not just for me - but for all No-Pats. It would be a beacon. A shelter.”[^2] - Oz <br> ### Description On Nov. 15th, 2043, the [[Codex/Profiles/Exodus|Exodus]] specialists conducted a test of Project: Silver Spear. Activating the Shearwater-2 satellite, they triggered the formation of a superstorm near a [[Synseco]] facility in Egypt. This first test demonstrated the technology worked - and that land rehabilitation could begin. After its success, the satellite was again deployed in the Richtersveld, to transform the harsh landscape into a replenished ecosystem where life could flourish. [[Codex/Profiles/Loyiso "Oz" Okusanya|Oz]] christened this land as a new home for [[No-Pats]]: [[Namaqualand]]. The event marked a turning point for the No-Pats legacy - the 15th of November has become known as Renewal Day.
