Greene and Pariah were kept in captivity for further research, later in conjunction with Gentek. The remaining population of Hope, Idaho was then liquidated by Blackwatch. Elizabeth Greene was the only survivor an anomaly whose body accepted the virus, rewriting her genetic code along with that of her son, Pariah.

The virus then mutated into something far more deadly, and the whole Hope population was infected.
