 Humans' use of nuclear material contaminated whole countrysides. - 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].

-When the World Coalition Government took over, they had undoubtedly a PR problem. So in the same year they came up with a media-effective distraction. Laboratories under WCG authority should realized plans to undo nuclear contaminations and present it to the public with the slogan "together we can go everywhere". Their solution was an artificial created [[wikipedia:Mycorrhiza|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.

The mycorrhiza organisms were unable to propagate because their cells, including DNA and its mutations, dissolve when required fertilizer aren't used anymore. This kind of 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.
 Jamie and Prof. Hasegawa searched in the Wilderness Preserves for minimal mutated mycorrhiza to prove that the problem was man-made. On their way into the wilderness Jamie got infected by the fungus. It liquefied her leg tissue. The CDC believed that it was caused by a virus because these symptoms reminded them of Ebola. Hasegawa caught later a tissue samples of Jamie and the fungus in the quarantine zone. He realized that it would need other and better security measures for the Daodan Chryalis to [[#Contamination_of_the_ecosystem|not endanger the environment]].
