SERIALIZED ARC SETS
ROOT DIRECTORY – ACCESS GRANTED
Browsing the Serialized Arc Index is recommended if you’d like to start your investigation by looking at specific sets of records. Unlike the event record chronicle, arc sets follow a singular plot, more like a traditional book.
Reading through events in this way can help you narrow your focus on people or instances that you find more relevant to your investigation, but it may also limit your perspective on events that are occurring outside the scope of a singular arc set. These Arc Sets are serialized and sorted by date of occurrence.
