In the year 2058, nuclear missiles were fired on false orders, killing the inhabitants of the new colony Genesis and surrounding countries, making the death toll 6 billion. That year, on August 19th, WWIII had officially started making the conflict go between two sides. The first ever nuclear war caused the destruction of the U.S., eastern China, and Australia. It ended at standstill on November 23th, with both parties signing a truce.
Later, a new colony named Exodus, was established for the survivors of the first attack and remaining people from the destroyed countries. It was placed in the former country of Bangladesh. The newly reformed United Nations held their second conference to decide what to do with the threat of deformation and future infertility from the toxic nuclear gases in the air.
It was Prime Minister Kaito Shion of New Japan that gave forth the suggestion of converting the human population into bionoids. An artificially created body combined with a human brain. The idea was rejected and told not to be mentioned. But in the 2060 conference, the subject was brought up again, not only by New Japan's representative but also by Britain's.
The argument was fierce as one side said that they were wasting time while the other complained it was being immoral. The meeting which had gone 5 hours longer than planned, was finally stopped when France, who had been neutral in the argument, stated that they should let New Japan and Britain do as they please. Ethics would be something that could be added on later.
World Law, the Human Transition Project, was passed on September 18th, 2061. As it was written, every human being over the age of 14 up to the age of 54, were to report to the nearest "shelter" to receive transition on October 21st, 2112. Failure to comply with World Law would be an act of treason against the new world, liable by death.
October 23rd, 2112, the first successful human transition was accomplished and the next day, 205,684 people had the transition procedure. No public appearances, interviews, or photographs were released. But on December 11th, one transitioned bionoid escaped a Compound Shelter and made its way to Shelter 9G. When the humans saw it, no transitions were made for the next three weeks.
Panic would ensue for the next 46 years from the mass destruction of Shelter 9G.
