We celebrate diversity in every form and warmly welcome people of all genders, expressions, ages, orientations, races, ethnicities, creeds, faiths (or no faith), and lifestyles. Our community is built on respect, participation, and care for one another. Hate speech or behavior that demeans, dehumanizes, ridicules, or alienates others will not be tolerated. Come as you are. Bring your creativity, your kindness, and your spark — and help us co-create the magic of unSCruz.

InterFuse 2026: Biohazard Bloom

In a world ravaged by pollutants, toxins, and waste.. a cataclysm has befallen the earth, but life has not perished; it has mutated. The wasteland here is not barren, but overflowing with mutated, glowing, and strangely beautiful life that has adapted to harsh conditions. The familiar landscapes have given way to a vibrant, unsettling ecosystem where the very substances that once threatened existence now fuel a new, bizarre, and beautiful burst of life. It's a world where radiation has given birth to bioluminescent flora, where scavenged technology has been incorporated into organic forms, and where the "hazard" is also the source of new, vibrant, and unsettling beauty. Explore the paradox of danger and beauty, decay and rebirth. A moment in time where the "hazard" is intrinsically linked to the "bloom." Discover the radiance in ruin and celebrate the relentless, often grotesque, ingenuity of adaptation.
