Canada
It would be noted by future historians that the Seelie Court had been acting behind the scenes to encourage the Canadian government to extricate itself from InterCon control (given that most Canadians had benefited from InterCon’s actions).
Ottawa, 7th February 2005
Prime Minister Stephen Harper waited in his office for his next appointment. He was nervous, meeting with representatives of the Seelie Court was always ‘touch and go’. And then there was the fact that they felt, creepy. Suddenly, the Seelie Court Representative appeared. “Welcome,” he said.
“Good Morning, Prime Minister,” the Representative said.
“You have the information on the officials?”
“Yes. The information is being handed over to the Intelligence Service as we speak.”
“Very good.” It would give him leverage over the Directors as the Government negotiated the terms of Canada’s independence over the next several years.
In Vinland-Labador, less than ten Vinlandic Trolls survive.
(And in several universities elsewhere in Canada, there are discussions about the inevitable loss of the species.)
United States
Hollywood continues to recover from the disruption caused by the Flare. Star Wars Episode II is re-released in February, given that its distribution was co-incidental with the Flare. Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is released in early May. It soon breaks Box Office records. (And it’s more obvious that Lucas has based the Jedi on the Qone Gesedai of medieval Asia.)
Oregon gains statehood, with vampire covens largely pacified, or driven north into Washington.

Ivy Sophia looked at the small city ahead of her. Goldendale was the first settlement of size she had come across since fleeing into the Washington Territory. She wanted to find a place where a Vampire who was willing to change her ways would be accepted. ‘But maybe I’ll have to go all the way to Canada,’ she considered. ‘But at least Halloween is less hectic than it was before the Flare.’
The war against the Lemonsaurs continues.
Hurricane Katrina proves too much for the failing weather control systems in Louisiana.
In Cheyenne Mountain, it is found that the Portal Gate no longer works, with connection to the gate in Chichen Itza no longer possible. It seems that the ancient Portal Gate Network is as much a victim of the Solar Flare as all the advanced Cyber technology.
President Bush looked over the reports.
The jungles in the Darien region continue to emerge with a vengeance. Overland transport between the two American continents would soon become nearly impossible.
