>ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!
>A virus has begun to infect Replika units, seemingly all types so far
>this infection causes behavioural degeneration in affected units, causing them to seek out and infect other Replikas (they will also seek out Gestalts for the same reason though there seems to be no transmission between the two groups as of yet); it appears to cause a strong arousal response to encourage transmission
>physically, it converts Replika organs and internal tissues to produce endless quantities of synthetic fluid rich in the virus
>if not decommissioned, Replika units will fill with said fluid and swell until they undergo explosive failure, spreading the fluid and infecting more units
