The September Incident is a confrontation between various factions which takes place on the planet September and especially Mode City.
Events begin to develop in "Another Facility Among Trees", culminating in "The Storm Over September" (COUNTER/Weight episodes 30-40). However, many of its important players were put in place due to earlier occurrences: Rigour embedded itself on September after Twelfth summoned it there using Voice;[1] the Steiger twins sent Paisley Moon and a backup fleet to September in their efforts to deal with Petrichor Automedia;[1][2] and after discussing terms with Ibex, the Chime agreed to attempt to rescue Maryland September and find a way to stop Rigour.[3]
Although the Chime succeed in finding Maryland (who refuses to leave), in the process they cause a great deal of chaos. Twelfth's forces are stirred up and Mako and Paisley are nearly killed.[4][5] The Chime's continued prodding at Voice and the secrets of September piques Rigour's interest. Rigour fully reveals itself, climbing out of the mines of Mode City in the hopes of taking control of either Voice or the ancient mech Apokine.[6] Twelfth attempts to take hold of it, but is killed by Paisley.[7]
The combined efforts of the Chime and the Minerva Strategic fleet in orbit manage to do some damage to the Divine. But Rigour is strong enough that AuDy fears this won't be enough. Liberty and Discovery, Detachment, and Voice work together to open a one-way version of the portals Divines can make—effectively shunting Mode City and Rigour into an extradimensional prison. The cost is that AuDy, Detachment, Voice, and the residents of Mode City are trapped in there with it. The rest of the Chime barely manage to escape, bringing a few friends (Maxine, Lazer Ted, Paisley, and a number of Makos) along with them.[7]
The planet of September begins to slowly fall towards its sun, while political and personal aftershocks ring out through the sector.[7]
