Lukas Matellis Gradient Electus Matari 5	Posted - 2013.12.14 17:30:00 - [1] - Quote I recently unearthed a canister at an archaeological site. The old Sebiestior who told me where to find it swore it was of Terran origin, though I did not believe him. I should have. One of the canisters I recovered appears to contain an ancient Terran superweapon, along with accompanying documents. The weapon is a computer algorithm of some kind, given a codename "Whirled Warcraft." As incredible as it sounds, it appears to be a sort of meme-virus, in which humans exposed to the software suffer debilitating effects. The symptoms appear to include delusions of grandeur, loss of social skills and unfocused aggression. The papers imply it was released via computer networks, and millions of humans were infected. Indeed, there is some suggestion that some of New Eden's colonists came as refugees, fleeing the depravity. The cache included transcripts of what I believe to be interactions between in-patients who were exposed to the program. The translation is difficult. I cannot say with certainty whether the language skills of the patients were affected or whether they were simply using some odd dialect of ancient Terran (Can anyone translate "l33t skilz"? From context, it appears to be an advanced stage of the condition). I won't reproduce them here because they are horrifying to contemplate. Suffice to say, if it were adapted to New Eden's computers, the release of this program would be catastrophic. My first impulse was to throw the canister into the nearest star, but I am not sure that is the right thing to do. What if there is another canister out there, and it should fall into the wrong hands? It might be better to give what I have to some agency who could develop a countermeasure. But I am not sure who to trust. Certainly none of the four nations should have such power. And much as I admire the Sisters of Eve, their recent actions have suggested political ends I do not understand. What should I do with this?
Karmilla Strife Stormcrows 145	Posted - 2013.12.14 18:19:00 - [2] - Quote You should subject this superweapon to a battery of time honored Matari tests, such as putting it in your mouth to see if it's food.
Korsavius Revenent Defence Corperation Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 170	Posted - 2013.12.14 18:33:00 - [3] - Quote An interesting discovery. This superweapon causes effects that I have seen among the adolescent population of the Gallente Federation. Will monitor this topic.

Return it to PIE clearly it is what is administered to all their new members. Damaging their brains and diminishing their social skills is key to fitting in to that organization. Eject from your ship & flee! No quarter is given to the enemies of the Matari people and the Minmatar Republic!

Naomi Tichim Sovereign Hospitaller Order of Saint Katherine 53	Posted - 2013.12.14 21:31:00 - [5] - Quote Hurl it into a star. And hurl yourself in - you have most likely been contaminated. Rest assured that we will not forget your sacrifice.

Erik Kaassan Burning Shadow Empire 36	Posted - 2013.12.15 03:26:00 - [10] - Quote Wait, are you suggesting that the ancient Terrans had a computer virus that could directly interface with humans? If so then to what end was it used? Implant control? Psychological warfare? And who developed it?

Memetic viruses are notoriously difficult to control.

I'm sure Mr. Matellus wouldn't unleash a Terran super virus on the net without a serious sudden lapse of critical judgement.

Nauplius 24th Imperial Crusade Amarr Empire 42	Posted - 2013.12.16 14:48:00 - [16] - Quote There is opportunity here for the Amarr Empire to achieve crushing victory over the wicked Gallente and Minmatar GÇö 1. A crack team of Amarrian commandos must secure the Warcraft virus from Pilot Matellis and take it to an isolated facility for translation into Gallente and Minmatar languages. In order to avoid premature release, the translation facility must have no network access, nothing must ever be allowed to leave it, and the facility must be vaporized (with the translators inside) once the translation is complete. (The translators will be instantly admitted to Paradise, of course.) 2. The Warcraft virus is released onto Federation and Republic networks. Once it spreads, those two empires are crippled, providing an attack window of a few weeks before the virus is mutated into Amarrian languages. 3. The Imperial Navy along with all Heir's navies and local customs fleets launches an alpha-strike against the Federation and Republic, now crippled by the Warcraft virus. Every effort must be made to convince the Caldari State navy and all Megacorporate navies to join in. 4. The warplan must be an ultra-aggressive blitzkreig to achieve victory before the Warcraft virus is mutated into Amarrian languages. No serious attempts should be made to respond to counterattacks, except perhaps against Domain or Amarr Prime itself. Enslavement of populations cannot be afforded at this time GÇö conquered systems should be Doomsdayed or otherwise bombed from orbit with minimal delay to the attack plan (it may be necessary to delay knowledge of this fact from reaching the Caldari, lest it enflame State public opinion against the war during the crucial attack window). 5. All efforts must be made to delay mutation of the Warcraft virus into Amarrian languages. Since bilingual Minmatar living in the Empire are an obvious mutation vector, most of them must be temporarily placed under primitive enslavement methods (Vitoc, collars, whips), even if they be of late generation enslavement. Prayer drone coverage must be increased (along with decibel level). Requirements for public worship attendance made more strict. And so on. 6. The eventual mutation of the Warcraft virus into Amarrian languages is inevitable. The goal is to delay this until after the Pator system has been reduced to nine Shattered Planets. The Theology Council and the Speakers of Truths should launch a massive religious counterattack against the virus (complete with draconian penalties for possession). With its spiritual grounding, Amarr will be in a better position to resist and recover from the Warcraft virus than any other civilization, and having greatly enlarged its territory during the ordeal. A worthy trade.
