Years before the Collapse Syndrome was discovered, a heroic scientist, 安巴图康 (Ān Bā Tú Kāng), or Anbatukang, lived. He came from a modest family, and known for his genius and bravery.
When the early flaws were detected on the string theory, P.U.S. tried to recruit the brightest minds of Strinova, including Anbatukang. The young gifted intellectual, Anbatukang, quickly became a promising lead researcher of the project.
At the start, they believed the situation was very much too uncertain. However, Anbatukang postulated, the flaw in the string dimensional system would soon engulf the entirety of Strinova. So, Anbatukang developed the enigmatic "White Fluid". Rumours have it that the fluid could serve as panacea for the novel Collapse Syndrome.
Times passed by, and patient zero of the Collapse Syndrome has been discovered. A top-level P.U.S. closed meeting was held in Ohio Tower. In an attempt to push forward a scientific advice, Anbatukang fiercely advocated for a mass-exodus to Earth, warning that the threat from the flaw in the dimensional sytem would eventually spread further, all the while the P.U.S. would not be in a position to respond. By then, Anbatukang said, "it would already be too late".
An esteemed executive of P.U.S., Mr. Skibiddy Gyatt, quickly dismissed the very notion. He pointed out that Anbatukang's "White Fluid" in its current form is already sufficient enough to "calm down" the patient in a recent test. The consensus was that, they could study the Collapse Syndrome to somehow control its behaviour, and that a migration back to Earth would not be an option, as P.U.S. would lose significant influence and legitimacy to their rule of Strinova.
Anbatukang, fearing such a dystopian future, ran Code DTD "Climax" programmed in a "White Fluid" device. He sacrificed himself and the entirety of the executives he deemed dangerous to the future of Strinova after ensuring that no innocents were left in Ohio Tower.
"I left it to you," he said to Meredith.
