It is a great read, but contains a large amount of conflicting information and theories. I have created this summary that follows the most logical explanation pieced together from that thread, Gears official lore, and collectibles found in Gears 2 and 3.





• The Locust lived underground for a long time, while the humans lived on surface. Everything was cool. Locusts lived near/around Imulsion, but it was in a slowly-evolving state. This is why it got into their cells but didn’t mutate them. (Also why the device in the end of Gears 3 killed the Locusts that weren’t lambent.)



• Humans (long ago) started running out of fuel and discovered imulsion. A scientist discovered “lightmass processing” which turned imulsion into a viable fuel source.



• Some imulsion miners began to develop “Rustlung” which is an imulsion sickness.



• Since they don’t know of any other fuel source at this point, the government wanted to cure imulsion sickness to keep using the fuel. They still didn’t know about the locusts but they discovered a “Rock Creature” and captured it for study. This was one of the locusts who wasn’t lambent but as said earlier they had a stronger resistance to imulsion from living down there.



• Scientists run tests on the locust and begin to attempt to mix his genes with some of the miners who had developed Rustlung, and then subsequently the children of those miners. The Miners were too far gone, but the children were born with altered cells and presented a higher probability of success. This was done at the New Hope Research Facility. The experiments were largely a failure, and the children are taken into the mountain while the miners became sires. This is why the sires are so different, as they are humans mixed with locust genes with a tiny bit of lambent.



• A Gears 2 collectible talks of one subject who was a success, a perfect human-Locust hybrid who is immune to Imulsion sickness. Her name was Ruth and I believe she was just a child at the time. Probably angry at the brutality of the tests done by humans (her own people) she took to leading the Locusts and became Queen Myrrah.
