===Cold War===As research into alien technology ramps up, the first precursor alien corpse is found in the North [[Beilan Island Ruins]] ruins, located in the North China Seanear Shanghai. Named [[GAVIRUL]], experiments and research into precursor its biology begins nearly would however not occur immediately. However, improper handing of As the West and the ruins leads to a rupture East are competing in some alien storage tanks. The results an arms race of this leak are almost immediately apparent as workers in the area quick strange nature, people working with relics sites begin to succumb to the effects of an otherworldly disease. Named Called [[Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease ]] (ELID), the mutations are quickly found to be caused by an alien virus interaction between [[Collapse Fluid]] and human biology, and international cooperation soon arises to stop the entire site spread. With more peaceful intents, GAVIRUL is closed down before ultimately being sealed off completelypulled out of storage to try and replicate its DNA to activate the relics, to no avail.

As the disease slowly spreads across Asia=== First Beilan Island Incident ==={{Main|First Beilan Island Incident}}In 2030, an incident occurs at the two world superpowers begin to experiment with alien technology in war, with forgotten Beilan Island containment site as a group of seven middle school students break into the US using biochemical weaponry derived from alien researchruins, and the Soviets using technology developed are attacked almost immediately by Starfish mutant ELID sufferers. A militia strike team is sent in Afghanistan. By to rescue the time both wars end, an estimated 20 million people had been infected with ELIDgroup, prompting but the US squad is quickly overwhelmed and the Soviets forced to finally sign a treaty use explosives to cease all research into precursor weaponry and ruinsensure that the mutants don't break containment. Two years laterThe 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 two countries begin teaming up wind to develop contaminate a vaccine to combat the spread large portion of the ELID virus. No working cure or preventative measure for the disease is ever found, howeverEarth's land.

In 2030, an incident occurs As human population decreases at the North Island containment site as a group of civilians break into the ruinsapocalyptic speeds and outdoors work become dangerous, where they are attacked by mutant ELID sufferers. A strike team is sent interests ramp up in robotics to rescue them, but the squad is quickly overwhelmed and forced to use explosives to ensure that the mutants don't break containmentreplace humans in manual labor. The explosion destroys the entrance Various high-tech companies scramble to the ruin produce more and succeeds in wiping out the mutants, but exposes the facility to open airmore sophisticated models, ultimately resulting in a huge volume of ELID gas contaminating Earth's atmosphere and rendering gradually transforming the majority of Earth's land uninhabitable. Preskeletal-existing country boundaries are quickly forgotten as the world enters frames robots into a sudden reorganization around hospitable land and safefull-to-gather resourcesfledged [[Tactical Doll]]s androids fit for military standards.

==Inter=World War III==={{Main|World War Three}}As livable land and resources become scarce and political finger pointing sours international relations, a new global conflict starts in 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 Era==further reduces livable areas as nuclear devastation joins collapse fluid contamination.

Thanks to the sudden reduction of the human populationIn safe areas, work is quickly put into developing alternative ways of gathering resources and producing goodsmilitary industries thrive. Development into robotic workers and automatons becomes the most popular choice as research begins on reliable, costThe pre-effectivewar innovators have consolidated their technological advancements under [[IOP]] Corporation, led by genius and easily-adaptable machinescunning entrepreneur [[Havier Witkin]]. A company known as Leihart General Manufacturing took By securing the lead in 2035 with the first frame robot design, capable help of wireless control top-rank scientists [[Persicaria]] and 6 hours of battery life. Further development on the Leihart model was quickly taken up by a multitude of companies across the globe[[Lycoris]], and it wasn't long before IOP manages to bring their advanced CSD series dolls to the military forces of the new factions took an interestmarket, with toppling the first military contract arriving in 2037: an order for a frame-robot capable of replacing the crew of the Pan-European Military Union's Assault Artillery vehicles. To fit the requirements, the resulting frame was flexible favorite [[Sangvis Ferri]] Manufacturing and human-shaped to fit easily in the vehicles, and fitted with a highly-adaptable AI from Leihart's initial prototypes. The first Doll had been developedtheir robust but ultimately simplistic [[Jaeger]] model.

Applications for the human-like dolls were quickly found in both military and civilian sectorsIn 2051, former superpowers and a plethora great nations have been reduced to mere shells of upgrades upon the original models were quickly developed by military and civilian companies alike. Among these were sensor upgrades, their power management improvements, and improved AI. Before too long, the major civilian companies had the military's complete attention, resulting in the consolidation of two major companies into a new one labelled Important Operation Prototype Manufacturing: IOP Manufacturing Co., for shortthere is no other option left than uneasy peace.

==World =Post-War III===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. IOP expand their civilian dolls products with emotional simulation, and add greater modularity with concepts such as the [[Imprint Technology]] and [[Fire Control Core]], creating a market for civilian-specs dolls with combat capabilities cheaper than military dolls. A major buyer in this market is the PMC [[Griffin and Kryuger]], who staff their entire combat force with armed civilian dolls. Led by former soldier [[Berezovich Kryuger]], G&K quickly partners with IOP to help them make dolls more and more efficient.

===However, Lycoris leaves IOP to join Sangvis Ferri when Witkin refuses to fund his self-learning AI research. IOP replies to this defection by creating [[16LAB]], Persicaria's own R&D company. While 16LAB brings Second Generation T-Dolls to market, selling cheap and modular dolls with standardized [[Neural Cloud]] and [[Dummy Network]] systems, Sangvis Ferri===develops high-tech dolls weaponry and an effective AI-driven top-down orders management system, bringing expensive but deadly products to the market.

The head of this new company was none other than ===Butterfly Incident==={{Main|Butterfly Incident}}As the lead developer of Leihart's groundbreaking design, a man known as Weitkin. Knowing that he had a huge amount of funding at his disposal, Weitkin rivalry between IOP and Sangvis Ferri was in no hurry to immediately invest in largereaching its all-scale production. Instead, he partnered with Sangvis Ferri Industrial Manufacturing Company, Ltd.time high, SF was utterly destroyed by a popular Ukrainian companyparamilitary attack on their main site, to work on more reliable killing Lyco and turning their central AI patternsagainst mankind. While Overnight, all Sangvis T-Dolls started killing humans in the partnership was massively beneficial for IOPregion, the onset of World War III and G&K was hired to contain the subsequent huge demand for tactical doll soldiers put a halt to IOPmenace with their own T-Doll troops. As SF's self-learning Mastermind leverages SF's production capacities to try and expand her dominion, Persica sends her own experimental designs. To compensate for the huge demand, a portion of IOPT-Doll [[AR Team]] into Sangvis territory to seize Lyco's manufacturing orders were filled out by Sangvis Ferriresearch and personal notes to try and understand the reasons behind the incident.

As the war raged on, Sangvis Ferri grew more and more popular with military forces due to it's deadly Jaeger model sniper dolls. Based on older doll prototypes Griffin and designed with simple and sturdy AI systems, the doll series rarely malfunctioned compared to their IOP counterparts, which were based on more complex AI systems that failed more often. Competition between the two companies grew fierce, but by 2049 Sangvis Ferri had won out on the majority of the deals while IOP made very little progress on improving their own models. Fearing for the company's future prospects, Weitkin set out to look for anything that could salvage the situation. His answer came in the form of an internet article, published by a Russian team known only as 90Wish. 90Wish's publications were showed prodigious technical ability and extremely high potential, but the group had seemingly vanished off the face of the earth after publishing their findings. An inquiry by Weitkin revealed that the team had disagreed over the publication of the articles and had split apart because of it, with two of it's members having gone into hiding to escape from the threat of death. Using his contacts, Weitkin quickly gathered information on the location of the members and hired a mercenary squad to safely retrieve them. Led by a certain Berezovich Kryuger of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the squad was able to escort former 90Wish members Persica and Lycoris back to IOP Headquarters, through not without taking major casualties from 90Wish's remaining members. After some negotiating, Weitkin was able to arrange a deal between the two prodigies, with Persica and Lyco setting faces problem ramping up themselves up under the guise of a small company known as Hermit to do R&D for IOP. With their former team members finally off of their heelsits mobilization against Sangvis troops, the pair quickly developed several technologies that allowed IOP PMC recruits new Tactical Commanders to once again pull ahead of Sangvis Ferri with the ACD-series of T-Dolls. By the end of the war in 2051, IOP had produced nearly five times the dolls Sangvis Ferri had for the military, earning favorable reviews thanks give orders to the frontline dolls' reliability, efficiency, and agility. ==Post-War== ===Grifon & Kryuger - Private Military Contractor=== Though the war had ended, demand for dolls had not. War-torn cities and countrysides demanded protection, production, and reconstruction, all of which required manpower, and dolls were the cheapest form of manpower available. Private military corporations were the biggest supplies The story of protection, and among most important of IOP[[Girls's new PMC clients was Grifon and Kryuger. Founded by the same tactical Frontline]] begins as a [[The Commander|rookie commander who had delivered IOP]] must help AR Team's salvation to their doorstep, Weitkin quickly become good friends with Kryuger, and allowed G&K to have direct contact with Hermit, providing both companies with a steady supply of data and performance feedback. Civilian T-Dolls were far cheaper than human soldiers and could be easily controlled, allowing for G&K to quickly rise through the ranks while Hermit kept up the pace with a vast series of improvements and upgrades to existing leader {{doll frames. Before too long, these new dolls became the source of much of IOP's income thanks to their clean, human-like appearance and simulated emotion software. Despite their astounding success, Hermit wasn't immune to creative differences, as the two members quickly found themselves disagreeing over what direction to take. Persica favored continuing name|M4A1|AR|4}} retrieve her research to create a second-generation of T-Dolls, while Lycoris believed the future lay in artificial intelligence rather than hardware upgrades. IOP supported Persica due to the success of their new models, resulting in Lycoris's application for additional funds comrades after being declined. Demoralized and disgruntled, Lycoris quietly began to search for greener pastures, finally meeting with Sangvis Ferri to negotiate for a better deal. Once an agreement had been reached, Sangvis Ferri reached out to G&K to once again protect Lycoris, this time from any retribution from IOP. Kryuger agreed on the condition that G&K would be provided the results of Lycoris's new research, safely escorting the researcher to his new factory separated in Sangvis Ferri. By the time IOP discovered the defection, it was far too late to do anything about it, so Weitkin decided to increase funding for Persica instead, ultimately leading to the establishment of 16LAB in 2057. ===16LAB=== Confident that enough time had passed for 90Wish to no longer be a threat, Persica took her new funding and went public with her identity, using her influence to recruit new researchers and technicians for her own laboratory. Finally given the manpower and funding to make her dream of a second generation of T-Dolls a reality, Persica set off to work, culminating in the establishment of etchingfield.
