How It Started

A lab was testing on monkeys, injecting types of metals into their blood to see if it had any adverse reactions. The metal was newly discovered and seemed to have odd abilities, this being the reason they were testing it. After injecting a newly discovered metal called recondite into the monkeys blood they started to have mutations. Some monkeys died soon after the injection but many survived and developed additional limbs and gained a great amount of strength. Soon after the monkeys had these adverse effects, the scientists started developing these effects aswell. Recondite seemed to spread radiation that had chaotic magical properties.

The scientists wore hazmat suits to protect them from the properties of recondite, but it didn't stop the monkeys from escaping due to their increase in strength and limbs. The monkeys began to spread the radiation to humans and that's how it began. Many were sensitive to the radiation and died fairly early after it had escaped the labs. Some people were more immune than others and had escaped it by hiding in bunkers and wearing hazmat suits. Soon, the majority of the population died from the radiation.
