The
Plague
{Echtroi's
theory on the Plague}
The Plague
A virus originally designed as a biological weapon, the
Plague at its strongest
killed virtually every single person over 20, and some infants as
well who had
not got the immunity enzyme like the other children.
It has not quite been worked out why the Plague only affected
adults over 20
years of age. Many suggestions have been put forward by various
people, such as
it was a specially designed weapon, adult-aged cells were used in
its creation,
or even the suggestion that other countries secretly targeted and
marked all
over 20 for the Plague to be used against.
However, the most likely suggestion put forward is that there is
an antibody in
the body that gradually decays as the person ages, and has
virtually ceased to
exist by the age of 20 and older. However, in some people they
have produced
more supplies of this antibody than necessary and therefore some
have not
decayed, meaning the person is immune to the disease, such as in
Morgans case.
The Plague was first unleashed in 2189 during the climax of the 6th
World War,
when Britain and America were determined to win the war and
needed a weapon that
had the same effect as the American atomic bomb on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki in
1945. Their attempts at controlling this dangerous biological
weapon failed and
it was accidentally released, with unbelievably devastating
effects. All adults,
bar a tiny minority, perished
