Berry grinned, and the bow in her hand turned into a mop. "Always. Lead the way." She trotted over the Phase. "Want another ride?"

"No... I'm fine..." She backed up from the rift as someone jumped through, and landed further away. The human guy again...
"So...? The Shellperson and the Vaccine AI, don't wanna play anymore? Hmph..." Where he stood, the image of the floor dissolved, and turned all red and destroyed, slowly spreading in all directions.
He had a some sort of tubing in his hand, it was damaged, but he crushed it. "Your heatings gonna be going on and off now, I wonder if the Ferrets'll last..."
"You can't do that!"
"What? You gonna stop me?"

The threat on the ferrets pushed Berry over the edge. "You...." She clenched the mop, which turned into a frying pan. "You b*st*rd!!!" She lept at the guy. "You bet we're gonna stop you!" She swung the frying pan at his head with all her might.

He brought up his arm for defense, when the frying pan struck it, it cracked and some small sections were torn off.
Phase rushed forward, a sword forming around her arm. She slashed out at his stomach, tearing a large section about, causing more and more lights to leak from him.
"Ack!" He collapsed to the ground, and slowly started to dissolve. "Thi.... is-isb't th... e EnD!" He shattered, disappearing, the only trace left was the tear in the floor.
Phase blinked. "Berry is the heat fixed?"

"I'm not sure..." She ran a check on the building, and found the temperature holding steady. "It seems to be okay, but I'm not extremely heat sensitive in this temperature range. The ferrets'll let me know if it starts to get too cold, and then I could send a message to Aura." She let out a sigh. "I hate viruses. Worms are some of the worst, though."

Phase sighed. "Aura's computers were infected with this one too, I got damaged before I transfered, but I guess the connections cut cause I can't acess the network." She slowly reached down and touched the rift, it flashed and disappeared, she'd fixed it, but this place had still suffered damage.
"I guess the computers must've suffered massive damage... Along with that feild place, the sky looked wrecked... Berry, do you... Have a recovery program? If not, I can heal you!" She smiled cheerfully.
"After all, I'm a vaccine AI."

"First, we need to see what damage has been done. Memory banks, I don't really care about. They house some useless junk. My hard drive, that's important. Life support looks normal, so we don't have to worry about that." She looked around. "As for the other computers on the building's network, don't worry about them. They've been in disuse for so long, repairing them wouldn't be worth it."

Phase smiled weakly and shrugged. "Well, I if there's any damage done to important systems... I'll help fix them, the virus is still here... But it's inactive, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about except for a lack of external network connections..." She sighed, closing up the rift she had made and walking back over to Berry.
"I guess it's gonna be hard to send a message to Aura, since her computers are infected to."

"So, it's not completely gone from the system?" Berry questioned. "How do we get rid of it? I'd rather not have a virus, active or inactive, anywhere in my system." She looked around a bit. "And does Aura have another vaccine AI like you to help her with the virus? Or, are you the only one?"

"I'm the only one... " She glanced around, nodding at the fact that there were no traces of it left in the Life Support system, that was good.
"I can remove it, but it's gonna take awhile... It consumed all the old computer data. It doesn't delete things, it just sorta... Corrupts it..." She glanced down at the floor and sighed sadly.
"Berry? What's it like... To be alive...?"

Berry sighed. "I'm not even completely sure of it myself. I'm a person who's wired into a computer, put bluntly. I don't 'live' as much as Aura, or any other softshell. I experience all five senses though my sensors, which are mechanical. I'm fed with basic forms of nutrition, not food. And, I 'breath' with the air mixture that's pumped into my shell. Still, it's got its perks, I guess. I can see and hear things that softshells can't." An idea struck her. "Would you like to hear some favored music among shellpeople? Some AIs that work with other shellpeople seem to like it too."

"Huh? No, thanks... I've already got the ability to do that... I was just wondering, since I can only feel what goes on in here..." She turned around and checked the place one more time and nodded.
"Everything's alright... You aren't connected to anything are you? Satilites? Antennas? The Internet?" Phase was worried, cause if Berry was connected to any of those, the virus could've got in that way and would be eating away at the connection and other computers in other parts of the world.

Berry shook her head. "As far as I know, pretty much all of my connections to the outside world broke down years ago. The only one left is the emergency line, which isn't hooked up to much. So far, it's only hooked up to the people who deliver my supplies, and Aura." She stopped for a moment, then continued. "Let's go check it out."

Phase nodded. "It could've been sent in through that... Hey, you still get supplis delivered right? Because if you do, then the people that do that might have problems..." She waited on Berry to open the entrance, Phase couldn't create a rift unless she knew where it was and she hadn't be there yet, so she couldn't get access to it from here.
"I don't think it would've shut down your life support... I think it was trying to absorb you..."

Berry stared at Phase, eye twitching. "It was what?!" She yelled. "Oh, that's it. This thing is so going down!" Putting her arm up, Berry caused a pool of water to materialize. Instead of seeing a reflection when one looked in, however, they would see a simple operator's room. "I'm going to beat it so hard that even talking in bianary hurts!" With that, she jumped in.
