Description

██████ is an error update that resembles a Google Chrome page failure icon with a smile instead of a frown., It's first documentation was in 2018 after a failed update of the Self Defense Protocol, and All Operating Systems have become vectors for infection. Living matter that comes into physical contact or near contact can also be infected, though the effect has only been documented to be permanent on living non-Fracture beings.

Sentient and displaying a turbulent personality, ██████ will occasionally attempt communication with a Fracture by overriding commands or screens on the control module. The entity refers to itself as "I" and will ask or tell various things to the operating Fracture. At present, I have control over my operating systems, though that control may weaken or strength depending on real-world occurrences.

When terminals or screens are affected by "I", they constantly exude a dull green mucus. Biological matter coming within 1.5m of the fluid is vulnerable to infection, even if physical contact is not made. This effect was present prior to The Fracturing but has intensified significantly since then, requiring constant moderation and appropriate protective gear. These fluids do not impede the function of operating systems.

The mucus-like residue bonds itself to non-Fracture biological tissue and cloth. Despite it's non-toxic nature, it will still attempt to infect any elements it can. Any Fractures or beings infected by ████ will slowly. Fractures and high thinking entities affected in this fashion must undergo proper containment procedures.

While inhabiting an operating system under command by a Fracture, I will manipulate the Fracture through usage of auditory or visual hallucinations. At present, Vincent and Greyson are the only ones immune to my hallucinations.
