History
Before the BioLynk Incident
Before the BioLynk Incident, Interface City was a booming city, with a healthy economy and tourism factor. It was regarded as one of the busiest and dense cities on the East Coast, besides New York, of course. James Derettas, Erik Baying, Joey Dmitri, Vanessa LeBlanx, as well as 6.3 million other people lived in this city.
However, as revealed by Infearno, ever since the 1960s the Ululators have reigned supreme on the streets, forcing people into depressions, including Infearno himself.
The BioLynk Incident
BioLynk, which was the tallest building in Interface City, collapsed on the morning of August 2, 2015. It was this event which killed thousands of people and was dubbed "The BioLynk Incident". After this the economy crashed and became critical, thousands of people became sick, homeless, or dead, and the city fell into a depression.
The Lockdown was initiated by the United States Government which denied access in or out of the city. As well as this the BioLynk Incident (due to the DeAmbulation Auraxideno Collider) granted James Derettas incredible superpowers, giving Interface City a new protector.
