[He clears his throat, winces, clears it again, coughs - a few moments of running his hands through his hair and then,] ...Community, I know my own ship's systems well enough to have hopefully reprogrammed them to direct this to you. Unfortunately, all automatic functions are now... well, manual. So to speak. I - what would characterize this virus?
[A pause,] Ah, that is, I should be more aware, for those who might not recognize... Well, recognize is not a possibility as I do not normally converse in a video - mmm. Thinking is hard. [He looks revolted to have said that, but hey, it's true. When you're not used to the limited capabilities and strange wiring of the human brain, it is.] I am HAL.
((OOC: So you know how there was an animal virus? It happens to be that humans are... animals. :)
All replies video, feel free to mercilessly mock him or be super nice to him, w/e. He's a computer, he can handle it - OH WAIT THAT'S RIGHT))
