Varus took a minute to process all Rennac had just said. He wasn't a fool, but all this computer code being flashed made absolutely no sense to him. What he did understand clearly though was the threat this virus posed. If it could infect a ship to completely disable it, including life support, it was a terrifying force. If it could be use don colonies, it would be even worse. Without defenses or communications any settlement could be open season.
