Welcome to Megaman Legends Beta Quest
A long time ago, the world had big islands called continents were most people lived, but a great disaster happened and the world became a big sea with population scatted into several islands. However despite how scarce land is, most islands are unhabited and ruins with valuable treasure exist in some on them.
The people of the world mostly rely in ancient technology driven by Quantum Refractors, a powerful energy source. These refractors lie in ancient ruins underground and in the sea, and are sought out by explorers called Diggers.
The problem is that Quantum Refractors are Blackbox technology and no one has figured a way to reproduce them, so they are a limited resource. Plus even the most stupid Digger has figured out that eventually no more Quantum Refractors will be found.
Yet, not all is lost, other sources of energy, even if less efficient, are used. The most common being Eolic energy and Geothermal energy.
Eolic energy is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electricity. So is especially useful in islands that regularly have strong winds.
Geothermal energy is using the heat of active volcanoes to generate electricity. Since sea water is such an abundant resource, cold sea water is heated in an active volcano, turned to steam, and then use that steam to drive electric generators.
But not every island has an active volcano or can rely on the wind for power, and many machines simply don't work with mere electricity, hence why Quantum Refractors are so valued.
Those who hunt down Quantum Refractors are called Diggers. While at first many people were Diggers, that is no longer the case because the use of alternative energies and simple machines that can function with mere electricity has become more and more commonplace.
That means that nowadays Diggers are treasure hunters, mercenaries, and even Sky Pirates. Simply put the type of people who live for adventure and or money.
That has started to give Diggers a bad name, specially since a event called the "Kattelox accident."
