New Antagonist: Computer Virus

[MaRcuSTheDAWG]

Ignoring the unhealthy fascination with Synthetics and Robots, here's some questions about the mode.

1. How does the Virus 'infect every electronic device on the station'? Do you jump to something and infect it? Do you physically interact with it?
2. Does this take time? Can infection be interrupted by the crew or the AI?
3. Does it have to be every electronic device on the station? Like.... Do we need to infect every individual APC, ATM, Vending Machine, and Arcade Pod, or what? Are there subsystems to take over that make this task easier?
4. How does the AI react? I'd assume it's a virus so it wouldn't be considered human. Couldn't the AI just shut down whatever it is the virus is trying to enter? Moreover, why shouldn't a virus be able to infect an AI or Cyborg?
5. How does the crew deal with this? Do they go around and deactivate every electronic they see? Can the virus mess with the Comms Satellite?

I don't consider myself an expert on suggestions or anything, but you gotta give us more information, man! Goals, mechanics, necessary powers, etc.

1. It jumps to the electronic device, which it inhabits then. It can only see what is near the electronic device, when it leaves, the device is infected.
2. Infection takes quite a while. The crew can use a Ion Repulsor to drive the virus away from certain devices.
3. Nope. It only needs to be some of the computers. Most likely the controls to centcom. The virus will need to enter a communications disk to spread it's infection to other ships.
4. The AI can't really do anything about it. Once the virus takes over it has control over that machine. The AI cannot take back control of the device unless it hacks it in its shell.
5. The crew has a special Ion Repulser housed in the Captain's Quarters, it can remove infection from the device infected by the virus. It can also push the virus out of the infected device.
