So, you've heard about the "V5" virus and/or the "K-17" virus and want to know if there's any truth? Sorry to disappoint you, but the answer is "No." They were both created as promotional material for both a TV show (which I have seen and can verify firsthand) and a movie (which I haven't gotten found - yet - but plan on it.) I hadn't posted anything on my site about these sooner because I didn't have the links until I saw them over on Drink Deeply& Dream's forum in this thread from a post by Orbizart.

V5/VRH-5 (A virus From the Ultraviolet TV series (England, 1998) )

• Here's the Developer's site
• And here's a review of the TV show it was used in.

I have personally seen all six episodes, and recommend it very highly. Story quality is excellent, and I love how it keeps you guessing until the very end! There was a rumor going around about how it would be remade in the USA, but that seems to have died down. I personally think that would impair the storyline - I've seen what American TV likes to do to TV shows, dumbing them down for "the average person", and then wondering why nobody watches it.

K-17/RV17-KB (a virus from the Reign In Darkness movie (Australia, 2001) )

• The movie's website
• The profile page for the characters (it's in a frame) - Click the Michael Dorn link
  

  I have not seen this movie - yet - so I cannot comment on it. The website makes it sound interesting though, so I'm hoping to get the chance to.

Thanks to Orb for the links!
