[@Nate1008] At the risk of sounding like "that guy", is there any sort of limitation to what your virus can actually do? Since it seems like it can just about do anything and things just kept getting pulled out of thin air? Like someone has previously said, you are tripping a lot of red flags for powergaming. [quote=@Nate1008] It is a virus/fungus mutation. It was first produced by a plant in the air pocket of witch it was found. [/quote] I'm not a biology expert but I think you're confusing what is meant by a virus/fungus mutation. I think what you need is like cancerous/rapid growth of biomass. Also just from a writing stand point, just having it be something that was found in an air pocket in a mine that went ignored until the entire empire was infected because the entire military and government just decided to stand down and let it happen sounds really lazy and uninspired. [quote=@Nate1008]It can gain intelligence and is able to override and grow over a machines parts, Arms, Legs, Neck e.g, and construct muscular tissue and overwhelm a machines motors and takes over its movements. As for a biological host, it can infect the brain, shut down its most important parts and take over those parts. It does not shut down the whole brain, but takes over most of it. [/quote] I honestly cannot decipher whats the meaning behind this. Does it "grow an arm" and use it to control machinery? Does it some how infect a very much non-living computer with a very much alive organism that realistically can't "infect/hack" it like it can with a brain? Also machine motors, especially larger ones, are not easy things to move. If you're trying to move like a starship turret for example that would take a huge amount of energy and effort. As for biological hosts, why doesn't it shut down everything and basically drive the body around like a walking flesh robot? You don't even need the brain if you want to control a body, just have something to fire nerves and muscles and you get a function walking if not janky meat puppet.
