It infected the relief crew for the [[Titan Base]], and trough them eventualy most of the [[Bi-Al Foundation]] | ||
The Swarm worked like a disease, spreading by [[electricity|electrical]] pulses, which should make contact with the victim's eyes. This would turn victims into agents of the swarm, answering to a [[nucleus]], a microscopic and virus-like sentient lorganism that controlled the swarm. Visualy, an infected lifeform could be recognised by their growing of grey filaments around their eyes and hands. | |||
There is no physical matter for the virus, which exists in a state in the mind/brain interface (though the nucleus has a crustacean-like form). This means the swarm can affect non-living sentients like [[robot]]s and can have less of an effect on instinct-based individuals. | |||
