Following this meta-point, any references to "Carbonado" until the end of the third era is thought to be an "impostor Carbonado" as a result of this incident. This is elaborated upon later, but the veracity of these claims indicates that although this Carbonado was likely an impostor, they also could have been genuine. Take it with a pinch of salt, as the author (Peter) intended!

	=== The Yata Expedition ===		=== The Yata Expedition ===
	In the year 200 CE, Yata was evacuated due to the [[The Insurgency\|Insurgency]]. Having received news of its abandonment, Black Opal demanded that Carbonado be granted temporary leave from TERAPRO to help lead a "reconnaissance expedition" to Yata. After returning to Kaphi, Carbonado continued his fusion experiments, fusing Sapphire and Jade together to create a more practical "diplomat" for the expedition. ~~The expedition set off in 201 CE, with Black Opal~~, Carbonado~~, Sapphire, Jade, Ruby and Lapis Lazuli constituting~~ the ~~primary crew~~. ~~However, their spacecraft crashed in northern Norway (not before Black Opal and Carbonado escaped using an escape pod, however.) Stranded~~ on ~~Yata~~, and ~~with~~ the ~~Yomtach situation spiraling dangerously out~~ of ~~control~~, the ~~two set out~~ to ~~find~~ a ~~way out~~.		In the year 200 CE, Yata was evacuated due to the [[The Insurgency\|Insurgency]]. Having received news of its abandonment, Black Opal demanded that Carbonado be granted temporary leave from TERAPRO to help lead a "reconnaissance expedition" to Yata. After returning to Kaphi, Carbonado continued his fusion experiments, fusing Sapphire and Jade together to create a more practical "diplomat" for the expedition. Following the successful creation of Slade, Carbonado continued to operate within the Kaphi leadership framework as preparations began for the invasion of Yata. Dissenting voices such as Samnsonite raised concerns about the hostile conditions on the planet, noting the presence of Yomtach hordes and the unpredictable effects of their technology. Carbonado, while not openly opposing the invasion, was a mere subordinate participant to the scheme rather than a decision-maker. His compliance reflected both loyalty to Black Opal and the institutional constraints within Kaphi society.

	~~Carbonado and Black Opal ascertained that seven towers~~, ~~known as "engines"~~, ~~were left around~~ the ~~globe~~ to ~~maintain~~ the ~~atmospheric shield surrounding~~ the ~~[[Asolab]] facility. Having found~~ one of ~~these engines in Aparty~~, ~~they entered it to disable it~~, ~~only~~ to ~~cross paths with the surviving gems, as well as Andrei Varady and Cormac Connolly~~.		Upon arriving at Yata, the invasion force encountered immediate complications, most notably the interference caused by Yomtach laser towers, which disrupted navigation systems and led to catastrophic crashes across the planet. In the aftermath of one such crash near Nuan Krovh, Carbonado emerged as one of the few survivors alongside Ruby, Emerald and Slade. This sudden isolation from the broader Kaphi command structure altered his circumstances considerably. Separated from Black Opal and thus stripped of direct oversight, he was forced to operate independently.

	~~=== The first SDS-001 event ===~~		Following an arduous adventure across the Yatan wastelands, Carbonado reunited with Black Opal, who was still willing to treat Carbonado as a tool for operational purposes rather than an equal despite the cirumstances. Despite this, Carbonado was entrusted with operational responsibilities and accompanied Black Opal toward the black engine tower, one of several critical Yomtach structures targeted by various factions during the Insurgency.

	~~=== Encounter~~ with the ~~Revenant ===~~		Incidentally at the black tower, Carbonado had a chance encounter with [[Andrei Varady]] and [[Cormac Varady\|Cormac Connolly]], two human survivors whose journey across Yata had equally brought them to target Yomtach infrastructure to escape the planet. Their meeting was initially tense, with Black Opal reacting aggressively to their presence. Carbonado, however, introduced himself and attempted to gather information about the whereabouts of Lazuli and Emerald, who had since disappeared. When the conversation shifted toward his personal connections, Carbonado's priorities became clear - he was less concerned with the immediate conflict and more focused on locating Emerald and Lazuli.

	~~=== The second SDS~~-~~001 event ===~~		Together, the group decided to initiate a self-destruct sequence within the tower to demolish the infrastructure that kept them trapped on the planet. In the ensuing crisis, and with the system locked under an administrative override, Carbonado volunteered to undertake a dangerous mission to manually sever the control cable on an external catwalk suspended high above the ground, although highly endangering himself doing so. His success in severing the connection enabled the activation of the self-destruct sequence, ultimately leading to the destruction of the black engine. Following the escape from the collapsing tower, Carbonado reunited with Emerald, and set out with the group to find Lazuli and eventually escape Yata.

	=== The ~~Divine Resurgence~~ ===		=== The SDS-001 Events and the Revenant ===
			After returning to Theia following the Insurgency, Carbonado resumed his work at the TERAPRO facility. Preceding the [[SDS-028 "When Day Breaks"\|SDS-001 incident]], Carbonado was operating as both an advisor and a technical authority in matters relating to containment procedures and anomalous phenomena alongside the [[SDS Foundation\|SDS]]. When reports emerged that an SDS-001 incident had been declared, the facility was immediately placed under indefinite lockdown, transforming it from a research facility into a closed, self-sustaining society. As conditions worsened outside, Carbonado’s role primarily involved monitoring satellite feeds, identifying environmental threats such as the spread of radiation from destroyed facilities like Ingalina, and ordering [[Nadia Szylagyi\|Nadia]], [[Oliver Fontaine\|Oliver]] and [[Isaac Grenier\|Isaac]] to undertake a "suicide mission" to replace the reactor fuel cells.

	=== ~~First~~ "death" ===		Following the end of the SDS-001 incident, later known as the "Daybreak", conditions in TERAPRO did not necessarily improve - marked by rolling power cuts, mandatory censuses, and increasingly authoritarian administrative measures. Carbonado maintained his position as a key technical advisor. Anomalies in the facility's lower levels were detected, specifically within the abandoned sections of the TERAPRO cave system known as the "colonic fistula." These areas, which extended deep beneath the main facility, had long been sealed off following the deprecation of ANTER, TERAPRO's predecessor installation. Carbonado was one of the few individuals who actually knew what existed down there, and as such was qualified to investigate. As he descended into the lower levels to address the critical circuit breaker failures that had emerged, he encountered the Creature firsthand - a pale, emaciated humanoid figure of indeterminate origin, possessing physical capabilities that exceeded human norms and exhibiting behavior that suggested instinctual predation.

			Carbonado's main priority remained the restoration of the facility's power systems, which required him to navigate the same corridors and shafts where the Creature lurked. During his descent to the circuit breaker systems, Carbonado found himself actively chased by the Creature. The entity demonstrated remarkable persistence, tracking him through multiple levels of the facility, however the knowledge of his own creation aided him in outrunning it. Arriving at the laboratory that housed the circuit breakers, Carbonado found signs of life in and near the provisions area. Upon entering a freezer, Carbonado discovered [[Jimmy Navarro]]'s mutilated body in the corner and a woman who was on the verge of death next to him. She succumbed to hypothermia moments later - his attempt to save her having failed. Analysing the situation in the breaker room, Carbonado realised that the facility's heating systems had failed, and that the backup generators were additionally offline, likely due to the creature's presence. An ensuing flood due to the failing structural integrity led to a desperate climb back to the upper levels. Behind him, the Creature was sealed, yet notably left alive.

			=== The Divine Resurgence and first "death" ===
			Many years later, the [[Divine Resurgence]] would occur at the behest of [[Sakamoto Sakura\|Sakura]] and ultimately [[Wisteria]]. Absent for the majority of the upheaval on Theia, Carbonado and Sakura met to deal with another impending crisis with the TERAPRO reactor. Within the operation room, Carbonado directly encountered manifestations believed to be the spirits of the gods, expressed through orgone energy, and marred by fragmented speech, warnings, and an overwhelming sensory experience that overwhelmed them both. Ultimately, they both learnt that the reactor was absorbing incessant amounts of orgone energy in order to operate, a design "flaw" that had gone unnoticed for centuries, and was about to hit a critical point in which it would explode.
			----
			Meta: Why did Carbonado (have to) die?
			What follows next is uncertain - at some point Carbonado fell into the reactor core causing his "death" but whether this was intentional or not is ambiguous. At it's core, Carbonado’s first recorded “death” is shrouded in ambiguity and paradox, with multiple accounts suggesting that it was not a conventional termination but rather a form of displacement or transformation. Conflicting timelines regarding this incident imply that this event may have involved external interference, possibly from unknown actors with similar objectives, or a version of Carbonado himself from another timeline. Subsequent discussions indicate that his death could not be attributed to an impostor version of himself, suggesting the involvement of a third party operating outside known frameworks.

			Although the exploration of his "alternate" version following this point suggests that this version had supplanted his own existence through [[Cosmology of YATA\|apparent backward time travel]], this segment of his life is intentionally vague to demonstrate that, although the interference is a possibility, it is not a certainty. As such, it offers some metacommentary on the nature of free will and determinism within the Yata story.

	Since his delivery to TERAPRO, Carbonado had been orchestrating the elaborate plan to cross into the fourth-dimension and obtain immense power. Being one of the pioneers of the [[TERAPRO]] project, Carbonado was responsible for developing and overseeing the construction of the [[Dark Fusion Reactor]] and the AI [[GILbERT]], the former of which formed part of his scheme. TERAPRO's constant failures has led to many people, including his peers, to doubt his credibility as a true research scientist, however, nonetheless he was considered a world-class one, if not more.

His constituents, Diamond {1} and Diamond {2}, were defused from his body. They originally held only their pre-665 BCE memories, but were given access to works and documents pertaining to Carbonado's legacy that filled the nearly 1,000 year gap of lost memories. Carbonado however, along with the entire realm came to [[Eos]] in 408 CE as a result of [[Guinevere\|Guinevere's]] machinations, preserving his life on a planet he could not leave. The two Diamonds were unaffected by this.

In the year 200 CE, Yata was evacuated due to the [[The Insurgency|Insurgency]]. Having received news of its abandonment, Black Opal demanded that Carbonado be granted temporary leave from TERAPRO to help lead a "reconnaissance expedition" to Yata. After returning to Kaphi, Carbonado continued his fusion experiments, fusing Sapphire and Jade together to create a more practical "diplomat" for the expedition. The expedition set off in 201 CE, with Black Opal, Carbonado, Sapphire, Jade, Ruby and Lapis Lazuli constituting the primary crew. However, their spacecraft crashed in northern Norway (not before Black Opal and Carbonado escaped using an escape pod, however.) Stranded on Yata, and with the Yomtach situation spiraling dangerously out of control, the two set out to find a way out.

Carbonado and Black Opal ascertained that seven towers, known as "engines", were left around the globe to maintain the atmospheric shield surrounding the [[Asolab]] facility. Having found one of these engines in Aparty, they entered it to disable it, only to cross paths with the surviving gems, as well as Andrei Varady and Cormac Connolly.{{SDSNavbox}}
