The Survivors

Only a handful of survivors has been found here in the valley. The others have gone into hiding, afraid of looters and robbers who may take advantage of the dire situation and steal their meagre belongings.

The rest have come forward to be counted amongst the living.

Here are their stories:

Elwood and Grace Colville



A kindly, retired couple, whose family was lost when their luxury timber home caught fire and collapsed after the 'incident'. Although they miss their children and grandchildren, Elwood and Grace have promised to help the 'cause' in any way possible. Opening their doors to all the orphans that have managed to survive.

Billy Wilkes


Billy had just been promoted at the academy when this disaster struck. Stranded here, he hopes to corral everyone together and keep crime to a minimum until the roads are cleared and help arrives.

The Hawkiss Family



James, known as 'Colonel', is a retired war vet, badly scarred and injured, he had hoped for a peaceful life back home, helping his wife Suzanne to raise their two children. Teenager Ricky, who has aspirations to follow in his dad's footsteps and toddler Tilly. He may be a reluctant hero, but can his fear of conflict, prevent him from helping the cause?

Fatima Goldalming



Fatima arrived at Prospect Valley in search of her fortune. But sadly was stranded here alone and penniless. She hates the place with a passion but can't leave until the roads are cleared. After all, she's not used to getting her hands dirty... that's what maids were for. Can she hold on long enough and realise that there's more to life than money? Or will she run, at the first opportunity?

Josef Toft and Pamela Needy



Were on the final leg of an epic back packing trip with a few of their graduate buddies, when they stopped off at Prospect Valley. The group was separated, resulting in Josef and Pamela being left behind. Pooling their money together, they decided to shack up under one roof and sit it out until help arrives. Josef was a notorious 'player' in college and has been trying to make 'moves' on Pamela for a while. Can she fight him off and stand up for herself, or fall for his wily charms once and for all?

Little is know of this character, as he keeps mainly to himself and rarely if ever, ventures out amongst the community. What his intentions are, are a closely guarded secret. But there's a definite aura of menace about him.

And then there's myself....

My story? Um, well. Here's the thing.....
.... indirectly, I was responsible for the so called 'accident'. I was opposed to it, right from the very beginning, but all the other egg-heads ignored my pleas and continued with their experiments. I felt useless against them. This was my first real job and I didn't want to lose it. And now.... I may be paranoid.... but I know everyone who has survived.... blames me for what happened. And so I've got to live with the consequences...
