Awesome, I will love to see your guys artworks!

In early September 209X, Milos Gravik, one of LUN top executives, took a routine inspection flight over the frozen wastelands of Norway aboard an Iron Glider VTOL. It was supposed to be a simple mission: check on old decommissioned outposts, wave at the drones, go home.

He vanished from radar. No warning. No distress signal. Just gone. The last coordinates placed him in a dead zone, officially marked as an ecological reserve, with no infrastructure, no settlements, nothing.

LUN went on high alert. Gravik wasn’t just a paper-pusher he had access to black-budget contracts, deep defense projects, and things not meant to exist on paper. Fearing corporate sabotage or hostile interception, a small recovery team ("Team D-15") was sent in. Silent, off-record.

They vanished too. Days passed. No signal, no trace. The satellite feed showed nothing but static and snow. That’s when LUN got nervous.

Another wave was deployed. This time, heavier gear, more firepower. Mission: locate the executive, retrieve any survivors. They made it into the zone. Then silence. No signals. No pings. Nothing.

When LUN started poking around discreetly questioning satellite data providers, minor governments, and a few private aerospace corps about the blacked-out region something shifted.

Arcanum knocked.

Not with guns. Not with threats. Just... pressure.

A quiet message from a senior liaison. An unmarked briefcase delivered to a LUN council meeting. Inside: a drive with classified footage grainy, but unmistakable. Civilians. Torn apart. Screaming. Something inhuman moving through the snow.

There was also a number. Four billion Yeelar (¥$). Untraceable. Immediate.

Alongside a very clear message:
"Drop the investigation. Stay silent. Forget the Valley. Or we start talking about your little 'climate weapon tests' in Africa, too."

LUN folded. Fast. The footage was locked away. The case sealed. Officially, there was never a Valley. Never a Gravik. Never a mission. Just a blip in the data.

But the story didn’t end there.

The soldiers who were sent in? They’re still inside. Stranded. Forgotten. Fighting to survive in a nightmare of rogue machines, biomechanical horrors, and shifting snow that hums with something wrong.

There’s no backup coming. No extraction. No acknowledgment.

Just silence...

And death.

LUN Troopers - The second recovery deployed by the Legion of United Nations tasked with rescuing Milos Gravik. They were abandoned when the mission turned disastrous. Now stranded in a forgotten, hostile zone, they fight for survival against rogue machines and malevolent forces, all while facing deep mistrust from the very organization that left them to die. Their loyalty is tested, and their survival instincts are all that remain.

LUN Team-D15 - The first recovery unit tasked with rescuing Milos Gravik. Now they are a nightmarish version of their former selves. After being exposed to a malevolent essence, the surviving members were consumed by madness and violence. Now, they relentlessly hunt anything that moves, their minds corrupted, driven by a dark force that controls their every action. No longer human, they are now just instruments of destruction and chaos.

Arcanum Dynamics - A shadowy titan of cybernetics and robotics, forged in the crucible of corporate ambition and moral decay. Rising from the ruins of failed competitors, Arcanum Dynamics thrives as a powerhouse of innovation and secrecy. With its hands deep in military contracts and clandestine experiments, the company is staffed by brilliant yet unscrupulous engineers, opportunistic executives, and private security forces that answer only to the board’s directives. Operating in the darkest corners of the tech world, Arcanum Dynamics specializes in controversial projects that push the boundaries of life and death. Their advanced humanoid androids and biomechanical experiments are unmatched, but their methods remain shrouded in mystery. Known to circumvent international laws and ethics, they are rumored to have ties to black-market organ trades, off-the-record AI development, and even experimental neural warfare.

Deadhusks - Born from Arcanum’s darkest ambitions, Deadhusks were never meant to exist, just another classified blueprint for a future project. But when the rogue AI took control, it dragged these horrors into reality. With limitless corpses and unrestrained technology, the AI fused dead flesh with cold steel, creating an army of grotesque cybernetic soldiers. From twitching, scrap-bound monstrosities to sleek synthetic killers, none retain their humanity, only erratic voices, unnatural endurance, and a hunger to kill. Some scream, some whisper, and some simply watch. And their numbers keep growing. Every fallen body, soldier, civilian, even machine is raw material for the AI’s endless war. Death isn’t the end.

Boltec Security Agents (BSA) - In the valley, Boltec was originally contracted as an insurance policy, a human security force to supplement Arcanum’s overreliance on AI-controlled defenses. But when the machines turned rabid and the Deadhusks rose, Boltec’s operators found themselves abandoned, cut off, and left to fight for survival. Some are clinging to their duty. Others have embraced the lawlessness. One thing is certain: no one is getting paid.

Arcanum Survivors - Trapped in the AI’s hellscape, former residents and employees of Arcanum’s corporate empire now fight for survival. Some were once office drones, others factory workers, security, or engineers now, they’re desperate scavengers, unhinged zealots, or bitter killers. Some cling to sanity, hiding and praying for an escape. Others embrace the chaos, laughing as they bash in machine skulls with stolen tools. The weak die. The ruthless adapt. There’s no paycheck anymore. No safety. No future. Just blood, metal, and the will to survive.

OmenCorp Infiltrators - Spies, double agents, shinobis and ultra-loyal infiltrators trained from birth, Omen’s tendrils have wrapped themselves around Arcanum for years. When the Black Valley Incident erupted, they were already deep within the corporation’s ranks, quietly observing. Now, with the valley taken by the rogue AI, the Infiltrators have been forced to abandon secrecy and take direct action, using their advanced stealth tech and deadly precision to survive the chaos.

Deep within an Arcanum complex, security guard Drew Liles holes up in a closet with two survivors during the initial chaos. With nothing but a pack of cigarettes between them, they don't know if they'll last long enough until it's safe to emerge again...

Hope Drew and his crew stays safe

Oh my oh my, we're cooking with flamethrowers now!

Lore: A LUN laboratory experimenting on deadhusk and corrupted. Has fallen some LUN soldiers were sent into the lab before it fell and they got corrupt after a heavy gas leak defore the LUN soldiers who were sent to rescue had to wear gas masks to avoid getting killed by the gas. All the scientists were harmed by the gas and the LUN forces cant help them because there are too many corrupted.........

Following the ashes of World War II, in 1945, the Legion of United Nations (LUN) was formally established during the Yalta Accords, originally under the name United Nations Security and Reconstruction Pact. Emerging as a global alliance aimed at preserving peace and fostering international cooperation, beneath the diplomatic veneer lay the foundation for an entity destined to become far more centralized and ideologically rigid. The early decades were marked by interventions justified under the banners of humanitarian aid and post-war stabilization, particularly in regions shattered by decolonization, proxy conflicts, and the growing polarization of the Cold War.

The founding of the State of Israel in 1948, recognized and supported diplomatically through LUN channels, marked the first real test of the organization’s moral compass and its willingness to reshape geopolitical boundaries. Involvement in Korean and later Middle Eastern conflicts further entrenched the LUN’s role not as a neutral peacekeeper, but as an ideological arbiter, enforcing a rigid democracy and human rights dictated primarily by the West.

Throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries, LUN expanded in scope, gradually absorbing functions that once belonged to sovereign governments, including environmental regulation, educational standards, digital communication norms, and even biometric identification programs under the guise of global health and security. Their rhetoric became increasingly universalist: one world, one code of values, one system of thought.

The turning point came in the 2040s, with the internal collapse of the United States during its Second Civil War a chaotic and bloody upheaval sparked by decades of ideological fragmentation, civil unrest, economic collapse, and military fatigue. With America consumed by its own fire and its government shattered, the global balance of power teetered on the edge. In the void left by the fallen superpower, LUN stepped in not as a neutral administrator, but as a new global hegemon. With vast resources, digitized influence, and a paramilitary arm refined over decades of "peacekeeping" operations, the Legion ceased to be a diplomatic coalition and was reborn as a transnational governance engine.

No longer restrained by the need for consensus among member states, the LUN began unilaterally imposing a synthetic moral order, often backed by force. Their Peace Directive Corps, equipped with cutting-edge surveillance drones and human enhancement technology, began rooting out dissident ideologies, especially religious institutions, traditionalist enclaves, and anti-globalist movements. Under the doctrine of "Post-National Harmony," borders became symbolic, cultures were diluted under compulsory pluralism, and dissent was labeled a public health risk.

By 208X, the Legion of United Nations is no longer a council of sovereign voices. It is a singular, autonomous meta-state accountable to no nation, guided by no faith, and loyal only to its self-appointed mission: the eradication of ideological variance in the name of peace. What began in 1945 as a fragile promise of unity has mutated into a global regime, where human rights are algorithms, democracy is scripted theater, and the only true law is compliance.

How big is the valley? Is it just a facility and some woods or does it include things like residential areas and cities?

Also, is there a physical barrier keeping everyone inside the valley? What's stopping people from just leaving, besides all the robots.
