broody virus broods.
[He failed.
He failed.
That wasn't how it was supposed to go.
"Zero" broods in silence, arms drawn tight around himself, leaning against a wall the way its body used to do, a foot slightly raised, eyes closed. It analyzes what went wrong; replays the fight. It had control until... suddenly it didn't. There's no point in being angry about it. Even though the glory is now delayed, and so many more now will have to suffer and die, X- your delay only drags out the pain? It's on your head. Every one of them. Because of your stubbornness.
There's no point in being angry. Stillness, stillness... trembling fury... stillness.
He needs more power now; that can't be avoided. Mind made up, he pushes away from the wall. He wants a form he can root in; a scaffold to hang himself on and recoup in. It's unfortunate that his proper form was annihilated in space... he'll just have to do what he can to fulfill his mission without it. You died too soon, Zero. Calmly and with clarity of purpose the virus begins its hunt in the hallways. ]
