August 7 - August 19 - The Genocide Virus, a deadly variant of the Sigma Virus, is released by Neo Arcadia. Over the course of the next two weeks, it kills over 12 million Reploids. The main delivery vector of the Genocide Virus is Omega, a biomonster created by Dr. Weil in Zero's image. Omega rampages wildly across the world and eventually turns on his creators. The Genocide Virus mutates to effect everything technological, but is eventually cured by a coalition force of scientists including Prismatic Spider and Berkana. The cure also cures the Sigma Virus, ending the pandemic for good.
August 13 - Neo Arcadia attempts to assassinate Secretary General Chord in a gruesome attack in Seoul. Chord only barely manages to recover from the Genocide Virus infection. The images of the attack galvanize world opinion against the Pantheon terrorist movement.

September - The United Nations and most other nations in the world begin to focus their attention on eliminating the Pantheon insurgency. Repliforce's coffers rapidly fill as heads of state from around the world demand an end to the Neo Arcadian threat.

Many in the world are suspicious of the alleged "framing". The next day, "maneuvers" apparently held between the US Army, Repliforce and the Hunters take place. These "maneuvers" are later shown to be part of an incident involving the Hunters abducting an Australian national from her home in Rio. The identity of the victim is kept suppressed by Official Secrets Acts in the various countries. Skillful public relations work keeps the matter from becoming a repeat of the infamous Repliforce Island affair.

After numerous deceptions fall away, Nebula's Number One -- Teresa Magrevich -- kills Blues with Excalibur. Her father, Super Joe, attempts to kill Teresa, only to be struck down by her remorseful ex-boyfriend, Charlie. Moments later, a newly mind controlled Charlie turns on Teresa, causing them to kill each other.
The entire affair was revealed to be the result of the manipulations of Mister Famous, who sought to control the Eschaton to free his creation, Nicole, and to bring an end to civilization as we know it.
