CONSTRUCT, COPYRIGHT (MOONWALKER) 2054.

Hi, chummers & chumesses! This is your friendly neighborhood virus, and since
the boss hasn't called in in the last couple of days, I've been activated! Now
you'll _never_ get rid of me! Oh yeah, there's also thi...

I've been doing some matrix dissection on the thing and I found out a few
things...

1. It is GNU-Based, so it looks like Moonwalker owes Yoshida Tech about half a
mil for the sheer number of these things flying around. At least they're not
multiplying like rabbits anymore.

2. It has some of the best sleaze I've ever seen on a smart frame. This thing
spread halfway across the continent before anyone knew what was happening.

3. It was right, I _can't_ get rid of it. Every time I think I've got it wiped,
it pops up again. It doesn't show up on any system scans, but then I go out and
the bloody thing's perched over the doorway of my home system, looking at me
with those beady little eyes...

Moonwalker, wherever you are, you've outdone yourself on this one. ]<<<<<
