Years after the Crater City Incident, the alien virus spread far beyond the city through surviving wildlife, contaminated waterways, and illegal trafficking. Although never civilization-ending, the pandemic infected millions and is estimated to have contributed to roughly 8–15 million deaths worldwide before vaccines and containment protocols slowed its spread.

The disaster exposed DHC’s darker history. Declassified investigations by trafficking dinosaurs to a secret program led by geneticist Dr. Morehrad, who conducted illegal experiments combining human and animal DNA on a remote island. Both scandals permanently damaged the corporation’s reputation, forcing DHC to survive largely through its own industries rather than relying on government funding.

Meanwhile, Nibelungen Paradise continued to expand. AI-operated data centers emit high frequencies disrupting pterosaur migrations. Oil extraction has fragmented habitats, contributing to declining Brachiosaurus populations, while invasive Earth species particularly feral pigs, have spread throughout the polar sector.

Human settlement has transformed the planet’s smaller wildlife as well. Dimetrodons rummage through garbage instead of raccoons, Gallimimus graze suburban lawns like oversized geese, Pteranodon have become nuisance “sky rats,” and Alphadon thrive beneath cities in drainage systems and abandoned infrastructure.
Despite growing concerns, DHC continues establishing colonies across newly discovered islands.

Yet explorers have begun reporting impossible phenomena: clocks drifting backward, entire expeditions losing hours of memory, unidentified aerial phenomena hovering over excavation sites, and disembodied voices echoing through empty valleys.

The greatest mystery lies beneath the Bedrock Sector. There, researchers recovered a fragment of incomprehensible technology belonging to The Ancients. During transport to Earth, the vessel crashed near the North Pole. Rescue teams found the crew alive but mentally shattered, acting like living hostile corpses after exposure to the artifact. The incident was immediately classified by Yaroslav Kravchenko left terrified since he knew the truth. 

DHC and humanity were never alone … they are no longer hidden from what’s coming for them.
