Earth, 3000
The economy of the world was thriving to the point of a world peace for all of humanity. However, despite humanity's expansion into space flight and colonization of other planets, things were taking a turn for the worse. No one knew what caused what became known as “The Incident”, nor could a cause be found. The planet’s natural energy flow along the ley lines as they were known simply exploded, releasing pent up energy onto the Earth. Three fourths of the humans are changed into elves, orcs, gnomes, and what are dubbed ‘mythical races’ almost over night. A large number are unable to survive, dying due to system shock. Five dragons are pulled into being from an unknown dimension, four of them dying from the sudden transportation.

The incident served to spark another world race war, going on ten years. Major cities are devastated around the globe, economies broken down, but no nuclear weapons are ever deployed. Due to a peace treaty before the war, all nuclear weapons had been disarmed and used as power sources for the colonies years before. Corporations become the main power brokers, but even they aren’t immune to the effects of war.
During this time, one Corporation, the Vtek Petroleum Corp., decides to expand their area into a little side project of genetic manipulation, using the war as cover. Their true purpose is never revealed, but a generous-sized underground facility is built at the edge of the West Coast of the North America, powered by geothermal energy. The staff consists of human research personnel and a small army to protect them, all operating in secret.

Much like the war began, no one knows who brokered the first true peace treaty, but the war finally ended. Due to internal and external conflict, the Vtek Corp dissolved. The scientists and their private army abandoned the facility, leaving behind their equipment and putting the place out of their minds. Due to the abandonment, the facility is left on auto, still running through with the tasks that had been set up within.
