The TIMELINE-

1905-1961:

In the year 1905,the Russian Empire accidentally stumbled upon an ancient alien relics site located deep in the Siberian taiga.

Although the alien technology found at the site was far beyond human comprehension at the time, the Russians managed to keep the existence of the ruin a secret and began to extract some of the alien artifacts.

This inadvertently caused the reactor within the alien construct to destabilize, and ultimately led to the explosion known as the Tunguska event.

Not long afterwards, the Bolshevik Revolution would topple the Empire, leaving the remaining alien constructs within the hands of Soviet Russia.

World War II would happen a few decades later, with the Allies triumphant against the Axis in both the Western and Pacific Theaters.

Having emerged as the two reigning superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union eagerly took their war reparations.

Much of the Axis's manufacturing and natural resources would end up in the hands of the US, but the Soviet Union secretly took control of all the alien technology that Germany possessed–including the alien research facility Urkunde 01.

Cold War soon breaks out between the United States and the Soviet Union, with the latter quickly gaining the upper hand in both nuclear arms technology as well as alien research.

By 1950, the Soviets had begun the first concentrated effort to research and synthesize alien tech with Project Starfish.

The United States finally discovers the existence of precursor ruins five years later, beginning their own research at a ruin named D-1.

Little did humanity know at the time, this alien technology, and its contents would Change humanity and the world for the worse…..

1962-1992:

As research into alien technology ramps up, the first alien corpse is found in the Beilan Island ruins, located in the North China Sea near Shanghai.

Named GAVIRUL, experiments and research into its biology would however not occur immediately.

As the West and the East are competing in an arms race of strange nature, people working with relics sites begin to succumb to the effects of an otherworldly disease.

Called Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease (ELID), the mutations are found to be caused by interaction between Collapse Fluid and human biology, and international cooperation soon arises to stop the spread.

With more peaceful intents, GAVIRUL is pulled out of storage to try and replicate its DNA to activate the relics, to no avail.

ELID is a Disease if not caught and treated in time, Causes Unfortunate humans and Animals/plants with fairly advanced respiratory systems, To literaly become ZOMBIES, in most cases

But there is small percentage of organisms that are partly or completely immune to ELID. They are designated as "semi-immunosome" (partly) and "pan-immunosome" ( Fully, but extremely rare). Semi-immunosome humans can be in close contact with Collapse radiations or ELID infected with no adverse effects. Semi-immunosome immunity can be innate or acquired.

2019:

The Wormhole , also known as a Einstein-Rosen bridge, orbiting around Saturn. Was first identified by the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) facility at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California

Other Advanced nations with well-funded space programs soon learned of the wormholes existence and secretly launched space probes to saturn to observe , Monitor and collect data on the gravitational anomaly .

2029: First A.I. passes the Turing Test . Also ,The 2020s saw great development and advancement in fixed or wheeled heavy-weight automated mechanical arms, CNC tools, automatic circuit boards etching tools and similar equipment.

Meanwhile, legged robots remained at conceptual or model stage due to their cost. The top engineering campuses of various nations produced miniature androids and multi-legged designs, becoming the foundation for later moving joints and balance designs.

Be the end of the 2020s, conceptual designs in science exhibitions presented androids the same size as humans and multi-legged robots reaching 2 meter-tall.

2030-2036: On 17 January 2030, an incident occurs at the forgotten Beilan Island containment site as a group of seven middle school students break into the ruins, and are attacked almost immediately by mutant ELID sufferers.

A militia strike team is sent in to rescue the group, but the squad is quickly overwhelmed and forced to use explosives to ensure that the mutants don't break containment.

The explosion provokes a cave-in on the relics site underground, resulting in a massive explosion releasing a huge volume of collapse fluid, who then follows the wind to contaminate a large portion of Earth's land.

And Sadly, as a result of Belian Island incident, the Blight plauge begins to devastate crops and livestock world-wide.

Food prices skyrocket up to a average of 10 times of what food used to cost, and food riots and famine begin around 9 months after the incident on Belian islsnd.

As human population decreases at apocalyptic speeds and outdoors work become dangerous, interests ramp up in robotics to replace humans in manual labor.

Various high-tech companies scramble to produce more and more sophisticated models, gradually transforming the skeletal-frames robots into full-fledged Tactical Dolls androids fit for military standards.

Also , in 2032, due to Multiple crisis Russia was facing, the Soviet Union was reborn.

2037-2041:The Resource Wars begin. Nations fight over each other's farmland through invasions and bombing campaigns. Human population declines further from mass starvation and violence.

Following the Northern Lights Incident of 2035 ( a mini belian island disaster mainly in Europe) , the surviving nations of the European Union turned desperate gazes toward Africa, which harbored expansive non-contaminated areas, and a new era of colonialism began.

The EU was directly involved, with US assistance , in the Lybian coup of 2037, which ended with Italy's full control of the country in 2041.

The Second Algerian War started in December 2039.

Soviet and Chinese Interests and those allied with them in Africa were forced to engage in proxy wars against Western powers to defend their African homelands.

Sadly, This was a prelude to a More apocalyptic, deadly and devastating war on a global scale.

2042: The economic crisis in Ukraine led to an armed revolution in the eastern part of the country, and the Ukrainian Civil War broke out,The Neo-Soviets then attempted to finish what they started in 2022.

When Kiev fell to East Ukraine, the EU and U.S. intervened and mediated the split of the country during the Bucharest Agreement of June 2043, in an effort to stop a potential revolutionary wave in the rest of Europe.

This was perceived by the New Soviet Union as the EU encroaching on their territory.

2043: the US successfully invaded, occupied and annexed Canada , manly for their land and resources , with little to no resistance from the Canadian government, and ruthlessly crushed anti-American movement in the Bahamas

And were anti American Occupation protesters in numerous Canadian cities soon after the annexation of Canada, But were swiftly crushed by U,S. armed forces.

2044-Early 2045:

In the years leading to the war, many breakthrough were made in the development of autonomous and semi-autonomous legged weapon platforms, able to bring heavy firepower to even the roughest terrains.

When the United Nations collapsed in 2044, primarily due to Growing hostility of major nations, armies the world over scrambled to modernize their equipment with platforms reaching from 0.5 to over 10 meters tall and weighing from 10 to 35 tons from Sangvis Ferri, SIMATIC, Kirov Robotics, Chelyabinsk Mechanics, Lower Tajir Locomotive Works, Omsk Transport Machinery Plant and General Dynamics.

Tactical Dolls struggled to find a place on the battlefields however, with even the most advanced Sangvis Ferri Ripper design failing to live up to military expectations

When the German Liberal Democrats and Christian Democratic Union invoked the National Emergency Act and conducted political arrests to stop the Social Democrats from dissolving the Parliament, the German Civil War started on 14 November 2044.

The opposite factions being supported by the EU-US alliance on one side and the Soviets on the other side.

On 1 December 2044, Soviet airborne troops circled around the EU surveillance radars in Poland and successfully landed at Schönefeld Airport, which allowed them to provide tanks and other heavy weapons to the East Germans.

Six days later, the EU/NATO rapid-response forces entered Berlin without resistance but soon found the barricades prepared by the Soviet Army. When US joined the conflict to back up the EU on March,2 2045, World War Three began soon after.

2045-2057:

As livable land and resources become scarce and political finger pointing sours international relations, Sadly, a new global conflict starts on April, 15 2045.

Armies quickly realize the atmospheric collapse cloud makes strategic long-range missile strikes unreliable and quickly shift to bombardments by plane, then to violent ground combat.

The war further reduces livable areas as nuclear devastation joins collapse fluid contamination and more ELID zombies plague the earth.

In safe areas, military industries thrive.

The pre-war innovators have consolidated their technological advancements under IOP Corporation, led by genius and cunning entrepreneur Havier Witkin. By securing the help of top-rank scientists Persicaria and Lycoris, IOP ( under The western Allied Jurisdiction.) manages to bring their advanced CSD series dolls to the military market, toppling the military favorite Sangvis Ferri ( Allied with the Eastern Block "Axis" powers) Manufacturing and their robust but ultimately simplistic Jaeger model.

In 2057, former superpowers and great nations have been reduced to mere shells of their power and there is no other option left than uneasy peace.

WW3 ended on June 29th, 2057 and all Members of the conflict agree to Dramatically Reduce and/ or completely dissolve their military forces to focus on food production and rebuilding their nations.

The Worlds air forces and/or Marine corps, along with NASA ceases to exist. However, NASA was Secrectly reactivated in former NORAD HQ, cheyenne mountain and secretly launches 12 missions, with 12 brave souls Through the wormhole orbiting Saturn, Known as the Lazarus missions. Other Nations With Still-operable space programs also Plan their own secret maned missions through the wormhole.

Before the Lazarus missions launched, near the close of the peace Talks to end WW3, Neo-Soviet general Carter Neustald and American Scientist/ Astronaut Dr. Mann had a secret meeting behind the scenes.

Carter offered Wealth/Riches and Safety/ citizenship for his family if agreed to betray his country and Transmit the Location of viable, livable planets on the other side of the wormhole to the Soviets.

2058-2060:

For the next ten years, all countries faced problems with reconstructing their infrastructures and feeding and accommodating surviving civilian population. The philosophy of Rossartrism quickly became widely accepted throughout most eastern nations as the best thought system under the circumstances and started to spread worldwide

With the tremendous progress in dolls technology and countries in dire need of workforce, the dolls market is bigger than ever, especially for civilian industries.

Nation-states that were mere shells of their former power reduced their domains to select large cities and industrial regions, paying the numerous emerging PMCs like Griffin and Kryuger to provide security services, border protection, immigration control and find resources and shelter for the rest of their populations. With the new demand for military ordnance, arms manufacturers new and old reaped large benefices.

Localized conflicts continued to emerge. Specific Dolls models were developed to tackle problems such as astronomical research, impeded by the great amount of low-orbit debris, and the need for aerial navigators able to pilot without a functional satellite coverage.

The Warsaw Pact used prisoners of war to clean up the battlefields and the mighty autonomous tanks used to wage destruction during the war were converted into agricultural machines. Protests erupted in Western Europe in the spring of 2051 over the lack of food, which were controlled by hiring PMCs organized by Eastern European veterans operating under the Soviet International Military Cooperation Bureau.

Deployed in Europe and the new colonies in Africa, the PMCs faced the consequences of the abrupt end of the war: the diffuse lines of battle had led to the abandonment of a lot of military hardware, which found its way to the black market and into the hands of non-state actors opposing the PMCs.

The military Tactical Dolls market picked up again as PMCs searched for new sources of manpower.

Besides successful businesses, international organizations such as Interpol, the Endangered Species Conservation Society, the Frise International Joint Scientific Research Association, the World Astronomical Research Union, the International Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the International Health Organization and various international regulatory financial institutions were active during the 2050s, many of them independent versions of organizations once federated under the United Nations.

2061-2063 The Butterfly indecent :

Following the death of Lunasia von Oberstein soon after World War Three, William commissioned fellow 90wish scientists and AI experts Lycoris and Persicaria with creating a Neural Cloud from an imprint of her brain. However, both refused on ethics ground, pushing William to arrange secret plans that would result in Lyco and Persica creating the neural cloud he wanted.

After Lyco joined Sangvis Ferri to work on his own AI model, William arranged through 90wish the delivery of a Pike node to his lab, tricking him into developing an AI able to interact with Relic Technology.

Meanwhile, Persica recovered brain scans of the child soldiers sent to attack Griffin & Kryuger in 2057 (who were biological clones of Lunasia secretly produced and sent by William) and shared the scans with Lyco, who used them and eventually created Elisa, the closest thing to William's goal.

However, Lyco eventually realized Elisa's resonance with Relics and started to remove dangerous components from her code.

In order to let Elisa grow and eliminate Lyco, who had discovered his plans, William conspired with General Carter, who arranged Operation Butterfly.

The operation was conducted by the Sixth Directorate of the Soviet Bureau of State Security under the command of Second Lieutenant Sergei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

T-Dolls from Griffin & Kryuger would be lent to the Bureau for the operation, giving Persica the opportunity to add one of her own prototypes, AR M16A1, among the T-Dolls, as insurance for Lyco's safety.

However, William prepared and shipped to Griffin two T-Dolls of his own to be part of the operation as Support Squad 14: SMG UMP40 and SMG UMP45, two Sangvis Ferri electronic warfare models.

Both were outfitted with backdoors to allow remote third party orders and 40 was made the main unit, and 45 the backup unit.

After meeting UMP45 at Griffin & Kryuger, UMP40 realized her purpose and that 45 would suffer her fate in her stead if she failed.

She then prepared a plan for 45 to survive the operation by making her her subordinate in the command chain during the authorization transfer at their arrival at the Bureau.

M16A1 was designated as Squad 7's leader.

Before the operation, she noticed one of her team members, HK416, was bent on proving her status as an elite T-Doll, belittling the UMPs' support squad and later assaulting a teammate and disobeying orders.

Consequently, HK416 was transferred back to Griffin and her fire control core removed before the operation.

At the start of the night operation,Support Squad 14 used their dual-track neural clouds to assume OGAS data format and infiltrated the factory's network, taking full control of its defenses.

While other squads secured the factory, the humans of Squad 3 and the T-Dolls of Squad 7 breached Lyco's laboratory through the back door and seized him.

Sergei informed Lyco of his arrest mandate from the Central People's Committee and Lyco opposed no resistance, with Sergei promising that he would be able to continue his work as long as he cooperated.

Sergei tasked Squad 7 and Support Squad 14 to escort Lyco out of the factory while himself and Squad 3 would collect Lyco's research material, but UMP40 then received the Order 61 signal and released the Parapluie virus among the T-Dolls.

Soon after, as they were escorting Lyco out, confusion broke out as the factory assembly lines started by themselves, providing Lyco a chance to flee back to his lab. With their IFFs scrambled, T-Dolls did not recognize each others as allies and shootouts started between and amongst Griffin and SF T-Dolls as Parapluie triggered erratic behaviors and neural meltdowns.

UMP45 was not infected and M16's prototype neural cloud kept the virus at bay for longer than other Dolls. M16 tried to stop the shootout but was forced to take down her berserk allies. With all comms down, no human order to cease fire could be transmitted.

40 and 45 ran away from the factory, fleeing attacking Griffin the exit, 40 pretended that only her or 45 could survive the Parapluie virus by killing the other, forcing 45 to kill her and spare her from being destroyed by Parapluie's neural meltdown.

After recovering 40's dogtags and running for the exit, 45 was confronted by M16, who assumed she was the reason for the incident as the only other survivor. 45 tried flee since her weapon was empty but she was soon pinned down by M16.

Just as she was about to open fire, 45 hacked into M16's fire control system, causing her to miss and providing 45 the opportunity to break free of M16's choke hold by breaking her left wrist.

Resuming pursuit, M16 started to flinch from the neural meltdown but pinned down 45 again, this time attacking her with a knife.

45 blocked the plunging stab with her right arm, but it broke from M16's strength and the blade penetrated her left eye while she clawed at M16's right eye with her left arm. UMP45's scar was still visible years later, while M16 would hide her own scars under an eye patch.

Before M16 could deal 45 a finishing blow, she shut down from the neural meltdown. Moments before, Elisa offered M16 a deal where she would save M16 from complete neural meltdown.

M16 was reactivated by Elisa, who controlled her out of the room to hear Lyco's last words as well as activate the production lines needed by Elisa to make herself a body.

They found Lyco in his laboratory, where he was trying to destroy the production lines and Elisa before bleeding out from his shot wounds. He recognized M16 as Persica's own version of his work, and entrusted M16 with a warning to Persica that William was manipulating them into reviving Lunasia, and not to fall into his trap like he did by creating Elisa.

Elisa freed M16 from her control and swore to attain the perfection Lyco sought for her, and avenge his death. However, William hacked M16 and encrypted her memories of the incident to prevent Lyco's warning from reaching Persica.

With Lyco's death, Elisa seized Sangvis Ferri's assets to lead her vengeance against mankind. The area around Sangvis Base 0 became a battlefield and the situation was entrusted to Griffin & Kryuger over the course of 2062.

The site of the incident was later revisited by Angelia, who investigated the Pike node and left a signal transmitter that was later used by Persica during her own investigations.

To uninvolved parties, the Sangvis Ferri rebellion was presented as a sudden and unexplained event and Lyco's death as an accident.

Angelia's involvement in the operation was striked from all records through Havier Witkin's network on Persica's request, though Havier ignored her reasons for asking this favor.

He would however piece back together most of the reasons behind the event over the years. Persica herself would use the newly formed AR Team to search for the truth, unaware that the Parapluie virus in M16's neural cloud would spread to other members of the team and create several OGAS consciousnesses.

UMP45's goal after surviving the incident was to identify and kill the mastermind and avenge UMP40, and she refused to change her body in order to preserve detailed memories of the incident and 40 which couldn't be transferred to a new body. The Conflict With the Rouge Sangivs Ferri Would Ultimately come to a end During the battle at the Paldiski Submarine Base.

The UN was also eventually re-established in 2062, as a side note.

2064-2066;

the Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalition was formed in 2064

In Mid May of that year, Professor John Brand of, NASA received a Message from his Soviet counterpart Requesting a Joint space mission to the wormhole, Surprised, but excited that the soviets would reach out during these dark times,

Brand Contacted the higher ups in NASA for permission to work together for joint cooperation and The head of NASA Sent the Soviets request up the chain of command, Right up to POTUS.

Brand and NASA Eventually got approval, But must Abide by Strict Rules To avoid american secrets being exposed.

The Chinese Manned space agency , The ESA and other international partners soon joined in the Secret project for what would become known as The Endurance mission, The final hope for all of mankind.

2067:

April 15, 2067:

Mankind is on the Brink of extinction due to the ever worsening Blight crisis, unknowingly, One Man, Joseph Cooper, would start his journey to save mankind on this day…
