At least [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W_lLhBt8Vg&t=4m19s nuclear weapons] aren’t fired or tested these days but their remnants are still there. To date, nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste while suitable locations for 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|unofficially]] 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 it's 160 metric tons uran each year. | ||

[Mention motive here: justification, ergo demonstrating power of collected forces] 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. Drones were going to collect them. The hull contained bitters so that animals didn'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]. The time control was necessary because the mycorrhiza would not only clean the soil but also devour whole forests to collect the radionuclides inside non-animal organisms. 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. | In nature the mycorrhiza accumulated mutations in an unpredicted way. With the silenced fail-safe measures, the mycorrhiza was able to spread out uncontrolled.

GV's "Chrysalis" work group thinks that the Daodan will contaminate the environment sooner or later (in case it didn't already happen) because of [[wikipedia:Horizontal_gene_transfer#Prokaryotes|horizontal gene transfer]] causing unseen threats. Hence the Daodan needs a patch. The idea was and is to protect the primer symbiont, the human host.
