2032

 * Summer: Dr Gibson wants animal cloning to become a feasible reality, and seeks his university for research funds. However, the university forbids such research due to moral issues. D'Addario Next hears of the affair and contacts Dr Gibson. Dr Gibson wants to use animal cloning to ease worldwide hunger but D'Addario Next wants to use the technology for cloning soldiers. As a pacifist Dr Gibson hesistates on D'Addario Next's intentions.
 * November 16: At 13:07:56:66, aliens descend from the sky and invade the Earth. Led by SAHA, the 14 Apostles and the swarm of mechanised units (aka Armaments) begin an indiscriminate onslaught.
 * November 20: Several nations deploy nuclear weapons in hopes of defeating the aliens.
 * November 30: Knowing the existance of nuclear weapon the Apostles are overjoyed and steal the nuclear weapons and use them against their former owners in populated cities. 2/3 of human population are vapourised as a result, reducing the number down to 20 billion. The 10 days between November 20 and November 30 were later known as "10 days of self-destruction". It was said that if this had not occurred humans may have a chance to fight back.
 * December 15: The United States government negotiates with D'Addario Next after learning about animal cloning via Dr Gibson's university. A project for soldier cloning initiates under D'Addario Next. The American government intends to avoid expected criticisms so they let D'Addario Next to run the project rather than themselves.
 * December 18: The United Nations is dissolved, and becomes the United Earth Force (UEF). War in the Middle East comes to an end. All military assets in the world come under the command of the UEF so that they can be united and fight back the aliens.

2033

 * January: D'Addario Next launches an advertisment campaign to recruit veterans from the Middle East war. Under a number of coincidences, Sing Love is selected as the representative for the campaign. Marion is deeply attracted by a recruitment poster featuring Sing Love, and signs a contract with D'Addario Next.
 * February 1: Marion begins fighting against the aliens according to the contract between UEF and the government.
 * March: Soldier cloning facility is being prepared in Russia. The cells of outstanding soldiers are selected, and their DNA are fused with eggs for cloning.
 * May: Clones died in artificial wombs.
 * September: An artificially enhanced clone specially designed for combat is born out of an artificial womb in the form of an 18 year-old. After an extensive research it is concluded that only cloned weapons can combat the aliens effectively.
 * October: D'Addario Next scraps further plans on cloning selected soldiers, and instead decides to produce artificially enhanced clones. In order to gain a dominant position in UEF, D'Addario Next intends to use these stronger-than-human clones as its trump card.
 * December: It is confirmed in a survey that half of the 14 aliens and up to 70% of the Armaments have been defeated. The human population is estimated to be around 5 billion, but the news that half of the alien forces have been defeated gives high morale to the UEF, and there are high hopes for the artificially enhanced clone, which is now known as GRAY 1.

2034

 * January: GRAY 1 is deployed into combat. Reports show that the clone has great combat capability, but suffers from poor memory, and may become immobile due to unknown reasons. Dr Gibson carries out analysis on GRAY 1, but is unable to make conclusions out of this problem. Under the pressure from the superiors Dr Gibson is ordered to produce the 2nd generation of such clones.
 * July 6: 22 2nd generation clones are born from articial wombs.
 * July 7: Due to minor problems, the 23rd 2nd generation clone is born a day later than the rest of the clones. As she is born on 7th of July, Dr Gibson names her NANA.
 * July 15: After examinations it is found that 2nd generation clones suffer the same problem as GRAY 1.
 * August: D'Addario Next terminates the cloning project, but at the same time accepts Dr Gibson's proposal for one more attempt on producing artificially enhanced clones.
 * September 1: 2nd generation clones are sent to various areas as expendable weapons, who fight until they are no longer capable of doing so. Dr Gibson is dismayed upon hearing this news.
 * September 15: Still believing that only clone soldiers can possibly be a match for the aliens, Dr Gibson thinks of using an older cloning technique to create and bring up one and only clone. While producing the 3rd generation artificially enhanced clones, Dr Gibson spares his remaining time on preparing "BRS" using this older cloning technique.
 * October 29: BRS is implanted in an artificial womb.

2035

 * March 15: 3rd generation clones are born.
 * May 1: Dr Gibson handed the 3rd generation clones to D'Addario Next. Despite being named as "3rd generation", Dr Gibson did not make any improvements to these particular clones.
 * July: Dr Gibson received reports that a large number of 3rd generation clones were captured by aliens on the field.
 * September 22: BRS is born.
 * September 25: Abandoning everything else, Dr Gibson fled Moscow with BRS to his hometown San Francisco.
 * December 15: XNFE arrived on Earth with nearly 2 million units of Armament via huge spacecrafts. The magnitude of this invasion force was greater than that of the first wave. XNFE was wounded in a mission prior to invasion of Earth, hence a delay in her arrival. The Armaments sent by XNFE rampaged mercilessly, reducing human population to less than 1 billion. Under the alien governor's order, aliens searched for humans in remote areas for signs of BRS, and kill them if no results were found. As a result, humans abandon remote areas and congregate in cities, believing that it would be the safer option. Little did they know that this was exactly what alien forces under SAHA had planned.

2036

 * San Francisco becomes a quiet place after the alien rampage from the previous year. (BRS was 1 year old)

2037

 * Dr Gibson lives as a househusband together with BRS. At the same time he carries out research hoping to find countermeasure against the memory deteriorating problem, worrying that BRS may face the same problem as the previous GRAYs soon or later. (BRS was 2 years old)

2038

 * Dr Gibson begins to tinker with information technology related to storing memory in a separate external medium. (BRS was 3 years old)
