After a world wide incident known as the "Flash" specific areas the globe started distorting, bending reality. Forming what is now known as "Zones". Lemuria Technologies (formerly a space travel research company) was tasked to contain the largest and most dangerous  Zone. Inside each zone there are artifacts, of incalculable value. Mega corporations buy these artifacts from Lemuria, which are extracted by Hunters, people who lived enough inside the zone to make a living of it or idiots looking for "fools gold". "Either way, the Zone will mess you up".- Edgar "Void walker" Simmons, Hunter Manager.
