-After the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, 2011, there were thoughts to decontaminate the areas with the help of plants. Without informing the public, the WCG let seed an artificial created mycorrhiza at radioactive hotspots all over the world. That symbiosis of plants and fungi is supposed to absorb radioactive isotopes and store them in a kind of nut. The hull contains bitters so that animals don't feed on them.

+Humans’ use of nuclear material contaminated whole countrysides. At least nuclear weapons tests aren’t happening these days anymore but their remnants are still there. Today nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste while suitable locations of repositories are still subject of controversial debates. Due to that radioactive waste was [[wikipedia:Ocean_disposal_of_radioactive_waste|officially]] and [[wikipedia:Radioactive_waste#Illegal_dumping|inofficially]] sunk in oceans. It was just a matter of time until the barrels would leak from rust. Besides the catastrophic accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima, there was also a sneaking contamination of agriculture by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer#Radioactive_element_accumulation phosphate fertilizers]. Alone in Germany its 160 metric tons uran each year.
-NipponBiotec was responsible for the development, they took care that the plant wouldn't propagate and dissolve their cells including DNA after one year. This should prevent mutations and uncontrolled spreading. This was necessary because the mycorrhiza would clean the soil but also devour whole forests to collect the radionuclides inside non-animal organisms.<!-- The radical decontamination measures  didn't kept unnoticed. At that time most protester became silent when NipponBiotec promised to renaturate the vegetation afterwards.-->

+After the WCG was established, they let labs realize plans to undo nuclear contaminations. Their solution was an artificial created mycorrhiza. That symbiosis of plants and fungi is supposed to absorb radioactive isotopes and store them in a kind of nut. The hull contains bitters so that animals don't feed on them. The plant was unable to propagate because their cells, including DNA and its mutations, dissolved after [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140404140403.htm one year]. This was necessary because the mycorrhiza would clean the soil but also devour whole forests to collect the radionuclides inside non-animal organisms. The time control was important to prevent the mycorrhiza from spreading into healthy areas. To accelerate the development, all mechanisms were tested [[wikipedia:In_silico|in silico]] against critical mutations. In the lab it seemed stable enough so the officials pushed for field tests.
+In nature the mycorrhiza accumulated mutations in an unpredicted way. With the silenced fail-safe measures, the mycorrhiza was able to spread out uncontrolled. During the next years it influenced other organisms. This marked the beginning of the BioCrisis. Since then reclamation teams are fighting back the wilderness and WCG is trying to hide their fatal errors from public. Nobody wanted to take the blame.
-The mycorrhiza mutated nonetheless and it changed also other organisms. This marked the begin of the BioCrisis. Since then reclamation teams are trying to fight back the wilderness. Jamie and Prof. Hasegawa searched in the Wilderness Preserves for minimal mutated mycorrhiza to prove the problem being man-made. On their way into the wilderness Jamie got infected by the fungus which liquefied her leg tissue. The CDC believe that it was caused by a virus because these symptoms reminded them of Ebola. Hasegawa cought later a tissue samples of Jamie and the fungus in the quarantine zone. He realized that was would need other and better security measures for the Daodan Chryalis to not endanger the environment.
