Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

QUESTION: How is Self-Predation Portrayed in Pop-Culture?
QUICK PLOT SUMMARY: After government scientists place a cure-all virus into the rain, it is soon discovered to be deadly. The creator of the virus hides his family in a secret bunker, then disappears without a trace. When the mother dies suddenly, two siblings are forced to survive alone for 5 years before they are forced out by a group of survivors. Together they have to learn how to survive.
POINT OF NO RETURN: The placing of the cure-all virus into the rain.
SITE OF MONSTROSITY: Monstrous Ambition Monstrous Science Monstrous Nature
EXAMPLES OF SELF-PREDATION:
In an attempt to defy nature, scientists try to use a virus to cure all diseases. Backfired leading to the endangerment and traumatization of many innocent lives.
