01. You've Got the System For Total Control [Video]

[She looks dead serious and slightly worried]

I analyzed the virus that infected the Danger Room mainframe, and...well, I've never seen anything like it. The coding's completely different from anything I've ever written or seen - it even uses different characters.

That's... disconcerting, to say the least.

[choreoandcode]

Definitely.

Have you seen anything like this before?

[mutedsilence]

No, I haven't. But I can look into the matter regardless.

[choreoandcode]

Thank you. Anything you can find will help.

That is one seriously crazy virus. It's not too much of a stretch to assume it's not human. After all, we do have some aliens on campus. I'm not saying they made this virus, but I am saying that other life forms out there may have worked to create this virus. It's not impossible.

I will admit that computers are not my forte when compared to other fields though, but I do have some experience with them.

[choreoandcode]

Considering it's written with characters I haven't seen before, alien sounds like the best explanation.

Have you had any experience with the sort of situation we're looking at now?

[soundslikea]

Why would aliens want to attack the danger room?

[choreoandcode]

Why would aliens attack the Institute at all? It doesn't make any sense, but it happened just the same.

[soundslikea]

Or maybe m-Magneto wanted us to think it was aliens.

[choreoandcode]

The virus is written in characters that don't appear on any keyboard I've ever seen. It would have to be a very complicated ruse.

I was under the impression Magneto had better things to do.

You know, when I left you to look at it I didn't mean publicize it.

[choreoandcode]

You didn't say not to, either. I'm getting an outside opinion.

[Read: she has no idea where to go next. This was kind of a last-ditch info grab]

[fairerthandeath]

I was kind of hoping to keep things a little more under control.

...I don't think they are under control, if the virus managed to get into the Danger Room's mainframe in the first place. I thought if I put it up, someone might have more information and I could use that to try to decipher what this virus is and where it came from.
