My timeline is assuming that Beyond the Supernatural and Ninjas & Superspies are,

combined, the pre-rifts earth of history until present day. To me this would help
explain why in the time immediately following the cataclysm that so many survived
seeing as you would need more than just technological might to survive against any
number of magic wielding monsters and demons. People with the knowledge to counter
magic or powers of their own, in my opinion, is the only way as much of humanitiy
survives as it does. That and I play Rifts with a 10-1 SDC to MDC ratio as to me
100-1 means the only thing left would be heavily forified fortress cities, we know
is not the case. No village or town as we know them to exist would.
