==Cold War==
As research into alien technology ramps up, the first precursor corpse is found in the North Island Ruins, located in the North China Sea near Shanghai. Named GAVIRUL, experiments and research into precursor biology begins nearly immediately. However, improper handing of the ruins leads to a rupture in some alien storage tanks. The results of this leak are almost immediately apparent as workers in the area quick succumb to the effects of an otherworldly disease. Named Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease (ELID), the mutations are quickly found to be caused by an alien virus and the entire site is closed down before ultimately being sealed off completelyby the local government.
The two world superpowers begin to experiment with alien technology in war, with the US using biochemical weaponry derived from alien research in Vietnam, and the Soviets using technology developed by Starfish in Afghanistan. Witnessing the destructive power of the alien weaponry finally prompts the US and the Soviets to sign a treaty to cease all research into precursor weaponry and ruins. Work into a vaccine for the ELID virus begins, but ultimately no result was ever achieved thanks to most of the ELID subjects outside of North Island dying while kept in quarantine. Eventually, the threat of the disease is forgotten.
====[[North Island Incident]]====
In 2030, an incident occurs at the North Island containment site as a group of civilians, thought to be a gang of teens, seven junior high students break into the ruins, and are attacked almost immediately by mutant ELID sufferers. A 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 destroys the entrance to the ruin and succeeds in wiping out the mutants, but exposes the facility to open air, ultimately resulting in a huge volume of ELID gas contaminating Earth's atmosphere, spreading via trade winds and rendering a large portion of Earth's land uninhabitable. Pre-existing country boundaries are quickly forgotten as the world enters into a sudden reorganization around hospitable land and safe-to-gather resources.
