At the end of the 19th century, the appearance of previously unknown creatures and phenomena began to be recorded all over the world, the conditional beginning of this process is considered to be August 26, 1883. According to research, a sequence of several primary points of Infiltration manifestation was formed all over the planet, which later received the name "Roselfeld-Horowitz tape".

Infiltration is a phenomenon that changes the laws of physics, biology, and even the laws of the universe in the form of foci of distribution throughout the globe.

The first wave of Infiltration (1883-1945) was mainly marked by the appearance of unknown creatures, most of which appeared underground in natural and artificial voids. These creatures did not pose a particular threat, and decomposed alive within a few days. The first wave of Infiltration affected the lives of ordinary people insignificantly. Just like in reality, the First World War and other similar events happened, it seemed that after the Second World War, Infiltration could be forgotten, but no...

The Second Wave of Infiltration (1945-mid-1950s). From that moment on, it became clear that the world had changed forever. Local violations of the laws of the universe began to be recorded all over the planet, such as teleports, flying islands, etc.

Then came the Third Wave, which was the most brutal, after which the statue of Stalin, namely the head, took the form of motionless tentacles made of the same material as the statue itself, and the rest, such as the appearance of biomechanoids, Arachnids, Spidercats, etc.

And finally, the Post-Infiltration Period (1970s - present day). It was marked by the gradual recovery of humanity after the waves of Infiltration, the study of its phenomena and the creation of methods and structures for the protection and research of anomalies. All space programs were curtailed, and the freed-up resources were directed toward training specialists in new specialties needed in a changing world.

Infiltration anomalies: Local violations of spatial and physical laws, Teleportation points, Flying islands, Mirages. Infiltration spawn: Infiltrates are the general name for all humanoid mutants with intelligence and reason resembling humans. These include both people who have undergone Infiltration and anomalies of various structures and types that resemble humans in appearance and behavior, but each looks completely different. Integrants are the same as infiltrates, but affected by mutations to a lesser extent, and fully integrated into society. Xenofauna - in addition to symbionts, Infiltration gave the world a bunch of new living creatures and formations. In the air, water, on the ground and underground, previously unseen creatures of amazing appearance appeared, often possessing special abilities. Subterra is the general name for infiltrates that appear underground and are dormant there, but their presence harms the environment. Arachnids is the name of a class of creatures whose common features are the appearance of a spider. Arachnids have replaced most common animals in the world and are now the most common living creatures. Spidercats - spidercats can be singled out separately among animals - an artificially bred hybrid of an arachnid with cats. The experiment was extremely successful, and spidercats became the second most popular pets. Technoparasites is a general name for various living creatures that have settled in various equipment. Technoparasites are not "living equipment". Biomechanoids are a general name for hybrids of human mechanisms and organics generated by Infiltration. Mutated technology comes in a variety of styles and appearances: centipede trains and snake trains, cars with spider or horse legs instead of wheels, flying buses and cars with stingray-like wings, predatory aircraft like the Yak-38 nesting in a hive carrier, and many, many others. There are also ordinary-looking but living machines, ships, airplanes, and other equipment. Surprisingly, biomechs are quite loyal and friendly to people, and are tamed without any particular problems, although there are exceptions, especially among long-feral machines. Leviathans - This group (also called "S-class") includes particularly large and dangerous creatures born from Infiltration that are not subject to other classifications. They often appear in sparsely populated areas, ruins of former cities and underground. Research Institute "SpetsBioTech" - On May 17, 1961, the Research Institute of Special Biological Technologies, abbreviated as Research Institute "SpetsBioTech", was created, which eventually became the largest organization for studying Infiltration not only in the USSR, but also in the whole world. The goals of the Research Institute are to study the manifestations of Infiltration, develop methods of combating them and protecting against them, as well as finding opportunities to use anomalies for the benefit of the country and citizens and, finally, informing the population about all of the above. "SpetsBioTech" maintains combat units of liquidators and fighters against Infiltration in case of emergency.
