Sun flares have hit the earth. Extreme heat and radiation. Double whammy. Those whose faces didn't get burnt off in the initial chaos had to deal with the inevitable freak wave from melting ice caps. Those who survived that then had to survive extreme radiation.
And the poor sods who lived through that, well frankly... they're better off dead.
Whatever law and order that there once was has been eradicated. New York's about 50 feet deep in water; those fortunate enough to have guns patrolling it in makeshift boats.
Nobody knows what's going on. Nobody knows what to do next.
It was something the world thought it was trained and prepared for. The world was wrong, in my humble judgment. We were so very, very wrong.

File Name: Biannual Status Update Date Created: 218.6.1, Time 15:32
&I;eœ<ver so slowly... people got long-term effects. Everything human about them slowly disappeared - though some are affected faster than others. They slowly lost their sanity, until they were nothing but insane psychopaths, colloquially known as 'Cranks'.
I fear it is our duty here at WCKD to fix what has been done. We must place them into observation; together we will find a cure.
WCKD is good.
The information given to you there is all you, the player, knows. Your character will know nothing.
If you have read the books and are familiar with what happens, I urge you to apply for a more demanding role, in which you can help the event to run smoothly.
---
A vital part of this event will be the:
Cranks.
Symptoms:
Irrational Behaviour
Mental instability
Mood-swings
Temperamental anger and irritation
Paranoia
Aggression
Animalistic Behaviours (such as becoming cannibalistic).
The first symptoms are usually painful headaches and moments of madness, nonsense, and insanity.
The rate at which the virus worsens is dependable upon how much activity is taking place in the victim's brain. An extremely active brain, often triggered by stress, will quicken the rate at which the virus grows.

'He leaned to the right, his left foot and leg jiggling slightly. His left arm also twitched, the hand clenching and unclenching. He wore a dark suit that had probably once been nice, though now it was filthy and tattered.
It looked like hair had been ripped from his scalp, leaving bloody scabs in its place.
One eye was gone, a gummy red mass where it should have been. And his mouth. Lips drawn back in a snarl, gleaming white teeth exposed, clenched tightly together.
He spoke only a few words, but they were so absurd and out of place that it just made the whole thing that much more horrifying. “Rose took my nose, I suppose."' -The Scorch Trials, chapter 32. [Image: latest?cb=20130721125739]

Thanks for all the responses so far!
Just a heads up:
THE MOVIE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE BOOKS.
As in: let's-kill-off-a-character-who's-kinda-a-huge-fucking-deal-in-the-third-book different.
The Maze Runner also does not feature 'Cranks' heavily. Or, at all, really. The event is based off the Prequel of TMR, which no movie has been made as of yet.
You'd be better off Googling 'Cranks' and reading the relevant information, or downloading a PDF of The Scorch Trials (Book 2), The Death Cure (Book 3) or The Kill Order (Prequel) and skim through the pages which contain the word 'Crank'.
By no means is this necessary, however it will definitely give you a better idea as to how Cranks act, and, well, they're good books!
