Black April

Black April is an event yet to be shown in the comic, demarcating the point when the "current day" S.S.D.D. branches off from being a mostly slice-of-life storyline to being highly sci-fi in nature ("S.S.D.F.").
In the "original" timeline from where Tessa Edwards and her cohorts travelled, Black April is when one company dominated the stock market where all others foundered. Tessa has a vision in which a spectre of Norman Gates informs her that due to their interference in the timeline, Cook Industries, rather than Bishop International, becomes the central company in this event.
Maytec emerged as a new company after Black April and the May-Day uprising, named after the hope of a future in science and technology.
