༄ ｡°Wait I have one more. Who has two helms and can't fly to save his life? @fleetingFreedom°｡ ༄
༄ ｡°He does know that he's missing, yes?°｡ ༄
༄ ｡°Eyes up, charlatan. You're going to learn something before you suffer.°｡ ༄

I do 𐊥eel it's worth saying this is a rescue, not a kidnapping. Though I suppose the empire may simply call it the𐊥t. - Upli𐊥ting you and yours, May𐊥ly
-f -t were a rescue, you would have used your pan more.
It's a؛ଓout the message, my 𐊥riend. I've gotten away with worse. - Upli𐊥ting you and yours, May𐊥ly
-'m sure You have. But - wonder how lucky everyone else you 'saved' has been.

Helm Hazards Part 5 Viruses. ~~~~~~~~~~ While ؛ଓiological viruses need to ؛ଓe watched 𐊥or, the risk o𐊥 a technological virus is another 𐊥actor 𐊥or helms. While many have ways to protect against them, some o𐊥 these viruses are a little more insidious. The main risk comes 𐊥rom the 𐊥act that the thinkpan is a mess o𐊥 wires and code. I𐊥 your thoughts are ones and zeroes, what happens when something disrupts that, hm? Viruses can range in goal and type. 𐊥or example, there was the "Chrysididae Virus" that was o𐊥ten deployed on colony settlement ships, typically ؛ଓy re؛ଓel 𐊥actions. The virus would slowly change helm priorities to 𐊥avour the 𐊥action when it came to resource allocation and medical care. Typically done on ships that had mid؛ଓloods or lower, this could ؛ଓe quite e𐊥𐊥ective at allowing re؛ଓel 𐊥actions to overtake the ship with time. This has, o𐊥 course, ؛ଓeen stamped out and appropriate sa𐊥eguards placed to prevent this in current day codes. Not all viruses are re؛ଓel in origin. A more recent virus, la؛ଓelled "GoodAsNew" was a 𐊥ork o𐊥 an experimental Empire-؛ଓased ؛ଓehavioural program. The original program was designed to help correct and cur؛ଓ helms that exhi؛ଓited ؛ଓehaviours that were considered unruly, such as swearing at their senior o𐊥𐊥icers or having violent thoughts. GoodAsNew took this a step 𐊥urther, replicating itsel𐊥 in the 𐊥irst helm it ran on until the helm could think o𐊥 nothing else. Eventually, the code would mutate into a rudimentary AI personality and take over completely, deleting the helm and passing copies o𐊥 itsel𐊥 to others over the pilot network. The only way to get rid o𐊥 GoodAsNew so 𐊥ar has ؛ଓeen to do a hard reset, or i𐊥 caught early enough, roll ؛ଓack updates. Crews rarely pick this one up, unless they have a particular attachment and care to the helm's personality. Others still attack the helm's ؛ଓody. These move 𐊥ast, and are designed to cause the thinkpan to mis𐊥ire rapidly. This can result in seizures that ؛ଓecome surges, 𐊥ever and death among other things. Imagine all the ؛ଓodily 𐊥unctions your thinkpan controls at varying levels. Imagine disrupting those. It's a small wonder helms are so care𐊥ul with their code, hm? I𐊥 you're a technician, ؛ଓe sure to run regular checks on your helm's code security. #helmhazards #helmrisks #؛ଓodyhorror #identityloss #horror #viruses - Upli𐊥ting you and yours, May𐊥ly
⦓ I truly wish that you had simply stuck to informative posts, Mayfly. What's coming for you is such a shame. ⦔
Given that one o𐊥 these helms has apparently already su𐊥𐊥ered helmsickness and was a𐊥𐊥ected ؛ଓy GoodAsNew, don't you think it's time they got out? - Upli𐊥ting you and yours, May𐊥ly
⦓ Neither you nor I have the right to decide that for them. If they wanted your "aid" they would not be biting. I stand by that. ⦔ ⦓ Like I said. It's a shame. It is not my place to comment on the lives of those I don't know, and perhaps you are right that they should be granted freedom, but that is irrelevant because, at the end of the day... You have kidnapped them against their wishes, and the Fleet is coming for you. My opinions have not mattered and do not matter. What will come will come. You may want to note down all of your other informative advice quickly and put it somewhere to be posted upon your death. ⦔
Rescued them. Stole them, i𐊥 we're going ؛ଓy what the 𐊥leet will say. You realise that they can't exactly say they want to ؛ଓe 𐊥ree, yes? Doing so would have resulted in a reset o𐊥 some degree. Even now, their reactions are out o𐊥 𐊥ear that we might get caught. - Upli𐊥ting you and yours, May𐊥ly

Perhaps I am. Does that really matters i𐊥 they won't see me once my part in this is done? Does it matter when they'll ؛ଓe 𐊥ree? - Upli𐊥ting you and yours, May𐊥ly
