After being hit by a meteor that polluted the air and either killed or mutated every living thing on Earth, all power went out and the world was cloaked with darkness. This marked the start of Cloaked age. Decades pass, 90% of the earth's population is dead and power suddenly returns. Now 40 years into the uncloaked age, technology has been reestablished and new laws in place to accommodate the changes. The air is still toxic but filters and purifiers have been created for the majority who's lungs didn't mutate to adapt to the new atmosphere.
