Chapter 3

During the third chapter of Convergence, TASKFORCE embark on their mission to investigate and take down the organisation, CARNAGE. However, a wish upon a card changes everything they know. As TASKFORCE must now come to terms with the New Timeline and their roles within it. 
This chapter is informally referred to as the CARNAGE Arc, after the eponymous criminal organisation that TASKFORCE are hunting. It began on the 26th of September 2021 and concluded on the 27th of March 2022. 
This arc is the first arc following Arthur Steele's Second Wish, therefore this is the first chapter that takes place in the newly changed timeline. The first two sessions take place in the first "Alternate Timeline" which was changed at the end of the second session. All sessions following the end of the second session take place in the current "New Timeline", which came about from Arthur Steele's "Second" Wish. This arc officially introduces the criminal organisation known as CARNAGE, and through a tie-in with the one-shot "FIRETEAM: RED", the party find out about the true danger CARNAGE pose. 
By the end of Chapter 3, almost the entire TASKFORCE composition changes. With the departures of Kindreth Dormyar, Aila Dormyar, Dr Arbo Star-Seeker, then Xanthus and Ingrid Amastacia, and lastly Arthur Steele in the final session of this chapter. With this, there are currently no player characters remaining from the original timeline. The new player characters introduced (in chronological order) are as follows; Mia Thorem, Dante Salvadori, Sirena Martinelli, Jack Franz, Iva Golstein, and Plon P'lonk.
