In 2265 Matthew Gideon won an Apocalypse Box from a man called Jenson in a poker game. Jenson claimed "It gives you an edge. It knows things no one else knows." though he later warned "you have to be very careful because... it lies. Not all the time. Just enough." before stopping mid-sentence as if hearing something and running out into the street where he was hit and killed by an oncoming skimmer.
