Hobbyist Virus

Strain X Hobbyist:

This strain is the most difficult to place in the Virus taxonomy, as its motivation in the most unusual. It is speculated that these mutations arose as viruses infected very specialized computer systems that had very narrow, specific functions that impressed themselves onto the virus. For example, the virus that infected the stellar observatory at Antares (Antares 2421) forgot all about killing itself and became committed to watching the star Antares. The ships that it infected often wandered off to study other stars. See also Virus/New Era.
