Nanite Event



Five years prior to the beginning of the series, Generator Rex, scientists were experimenting with nanotechnology. But, an accident occurred and a massive explosion happened, in the exact spot where Van Kleiss made his kingdom of Abysus. This explosion spread the results of their experimentation, Nanites, into the atmosphere where they eventually descended and bonded with every living thing on the planet. This bonding created E.V.O.s, and caused Providence to be formed.

According to Van Kleiss, some of the scientists involved in the nanotechnology experiment were aware that they were making a mistake. But the overzealous ones proceeded with the experiment. Van Kleiss also claims that both he and Rex were present at the explosion, it also explains why Abysus is filled with nanites. It appears the Nanites were unstable, which would explain why people frequently turn into E.V.Os.
