Following the events of Crashing Down, the PPC has moved into a new era, an era of crises and catastrophes, true, but for the most part of normal, every-day work. That doesn't mean, though, that nothing changes.

The End of the Beginning is a loose collection of stories from the next few decades of PPC history. It embraces the era known as Ten Years Hence, passes into the depths of Thirty Years On, and eventually comes to rest in an incredibly distant time, more than sixty years from the present. Here, in a PPC nearly three times its current age, many things are different, but many others have remained the same as they always were. That's what makes the PPC the PPC, after all.

While most of End of the Beginning cannot yet be released due to spoilers for Crashing Down, this time period is so far into the future that it doesn't reveal anything. All it does is show what the PPC of 2069 might be like. How we get there is still to be revealed.
