Academy Bombing

The Academy bombing is the name given to the attack on the Academy on 10th June 2020. 
The blast destroyed the cadet dormitories, the refectory, the gym and the swimming pool, killing nine cadets and two support staff and critically injuring seven others.
Following the attack, the Echelon ordered a task force to investigate, consisting of Tasneem Hafiz, Tom Burt, Rupa Kalsi, Blake Kishell, Huang Chuntao and two scientists from Geneva, overseen by Echelon member Ida Trent. Initially, instructor Andrew Wesker came under scrutiny, alongside surviving cadet Jerry Dawkins and site staff member Alex Struycken. Through investigation, Hafiz, Burt and Kalsi discovered that Wesker was being framed, and that Ida Trent, who had a bitter history with Wesker, was trying to use this to further her own agenda and have him take the blame. However, the three agents discovered that Dawkins was in fact a QIA Agent from the future called Steve Mariner, who had Jumped back from 2026 to prevent the murder of Ida Trent.
Arriving at Trent's murder scene too late, the agents had a brief showdown with Gaby Marshall, a known quantum terrorist from the future. Marshall escaped, but not before murdering Mariner.
Although as of 2026 the cause of the bomb would still not be determined, Marshall later murdered Alex Struycken in order to tie up loose ends, since she had had Struycken plant the explosives for reasons that have yet to be fully revealed. ("Academy")
