Overview

A behavioural virus causes a service android to attack humans and then begins producing similar instability in Farve.

ASFR Content

A Delta service android unexpectedly becomes violent after exposure to a deliberately transmitted machine virus. The damaged robot later burns out. Farve is exposed to the same trigger, becomes aggressive and erratic, and attempts diagnostic checks while the infection spreads through his more advanced Alpha systems.
