| The Virus is blamed for killing off all of the adults. No-one was sure initally where the virus came from, but It was not until the Mallrats had visitted Hope Island, & spoken to Danni, that they discovered that a Pharmaceuticals company called Pandorax had created the virus as the fabled 'Elixir of Life', which would reduce or halt the aging process |
 |
| Pandorax, an international Pharmaceutical & biotechnological, were working on a Top Secret project, in search of the Elixir of Life. This experiment went dramatically wrong, & the chemical created decimated the adult population of the world |
| The effects of 'The Virus' were head & body aches, their skin would wrinkle, thier hair would go grey, & some would end up so sick they would break out in infected wounds. In essence, victims were dieing of old age even thought they weren't old |

| "Authorities are appealing for calm throughout the evacuation process. All children under the age of 18 years should report to their local sector for transportation. Priority will be given...to those children exposed to adults already contaminated." |
 |
| "CODE 1. Civil Priority. Isolation now in effect. To avoid the risk of contamination please stay indoors and await further instructions. Medical advice will be given." |
 |
| With no adults to regulate society, many children formed Tribes of their friends, trying to survive in this descolate world |
| The only way to recover from the Virus was to take the antidote, the recipe of which was discovered by The Mallrats. |
