Topic: Cases 68, 69, and Passenger Theory.

Bagrat (Original Poster) (The Guy in the Know)
Posted on Apr 27th 2011:
As some of you may already know, at around 1:20 pm (PDT), on the 26th, an information leak occurred, releasing multiple classified files from the PRT to news stations, news sites, universities, and indeed, here on PHO (link to thread found here. The thread has been locked from replies, but can now be viewed again). The files themselves contained details on the latest aberrant Parahuman related phenomena, Cases 68 and 69.
The complete details can be read
here, and
here respectively, but to summarize:
Case 68 refers to the phenomena of a dimensional breach that connects to what is currently being called "Passenger Space". Testimony from Triumph and Glory Girl both confirm that these breaches allowed them to see and, in the latter case, communicate with the source of their powers.
This, in turn, has acted as confirmation to the once thought defunct "Passenger Theory". Details can be found
here. Tl;dr Passenger Theory posited that all Parahuman powers come from symbiotic organisms that bond with humans through their Corona Polentia, and later, Gema.
The earliest confirmed occurrence of this, known to authorities, resulted from the destruction of Apeiron's bike around the same time as his battle with Lung. It is theorized, however, that the similar distruction of his earlier bike during the fight against the ABB on April 16th also resulted in a C68 portal being opened, but at a smaller scale.
Case 69 refers to Parahumans who have been exposed to a C68 portal breach, and subsequently had their powers altered.
According to both Triumph and Glory Girl (confirmed later after much testing), seeing their Passengers seems to have altered their powers somewhat, giving them extra abilities that they didn't have before (Comparisons to Case 16, or "Second Triggers" found
here).
Glory Girl also added that she's still able to sense a rudimentary form of communication from her Passenger. Further details on said power alterations for both Triumph and Glory Girl can be found
here, and
here.
Current confirmed Case 69s: Triumph (Protectorate ENE) and Glory Girl (New Wave).
Highly suspected Case 69s: All of the Celestial Forge.
Possible Case 69s: Lady Khepri, Grue, Tattletale, Regent and Hellhound (Undersiders), as well as Uber, Leet, and Bakuda (ABB members and affiliates).
With that out of the way, let's get some things clear here. This thread is about discussing what we have learned about Parahumans from these files, as well as what this could mean for Cape culture, now and in the future.
This is not a thread to post memes about Case 69s. We are already ahead of you,
here's the Case 69 meme thread. Keep those things there, I have already asked this matter to be mod enforced, because I know a lot of you won't be able to help yourselves otherwise.

Factions: Parahuman researchers, Parahuman studies students, general public, Capes and Cape enthusiasts interested in learning how powers work, BB citizens should probably weigh in too, as these things are coming from their back yard. Basically, anyone who'd be interested in the topic apart from straight up meme posters.
Additional information: The source of the leak in question is, unsurprisingly, Coil. He was smart enough to at least erase anything about March still being around before releasing it to the public, so people are still convinced that March is dead, but they now have an idea what she was talking about during the UH.
If you guys think anything needs to be changed, please tell me. I typed all this out on my phone, so some bits of needed formatting might have been missed.]
[This all good
