Today I felt really sick and I just started thinking....
People get sick.... but robots get like computer viruses.
So could XR get a computer virus?
If he could, then what do you think that it would do to him? I dont know. Maybe he would just act really weird like computers do when they have them. Maybe he would randomly not work... kinda like a computer does all the time. I just thought that it would be something interesting to bring up....

Maybe he'd get all stuffed up with oil and lubricant and stuff, and make these weird whining noised and have a high, nasally voice when he tried to talk. (this would make Mira happy) And maybe his head would get just a little rounder with stuffiness, and he engine/body temperature would be constantly changing and he'd fall asleep in the middle of a high-speed chase, and shutoff randomly, and make sputtering noises and tell everyone the wrong information. Etc.
...
Maybe he'd have spasms...like he would get electrical shorts.

Lol
Just thinking of XR with I high nasally voice made me happy... because today my voice sounds like that... kinda robotic in a way. I dont know, its weird.
But telling people the wrong info... lol
XR: Go right!
Buzz: Ok
Buzz: You told me to go right. It is a dead end.
XR: Oh did I say right, I meant left.....

I've thought about this... written some fic about it... once I had XR's voice box short out completely so he couldn't talk (everyone else was overjoyed, and the robot, not so much) once I had him literally get bugs, as in, little parasites that feed off oil started living inside him and he was coughing them up and stuff. And once I had a villain stick this device inside him that spies on the video feed from his optics, and makes his engine heat up and his damage sensors report damage when there is none (like... fluey aches) and erase any of his memories that have to do with the bug...
Yeah. I like the idea of vocal glitches.
Mira: You want me to do WHAT?!
XR: TAKE THE NEXT SHIFT! THE NEXT SHIFT, DANGIT, NOT YOUR TOP OFF
XR: Though I'm not saying I wouldn't appreciate -cut for graphic violence-
A pervert is me.

That would be SOOOO funny! Poor Mira... more like poor XR. He would get a terrible beating...

They'd be picking bits of him out of the WALL over a glitch he couldn't help ;~;
Unless he was using the glitch to say perverted things and blame it on computer viruses. Hmmmmmm

Hmmmmmm. Mahmahmahhhhh.
Wellllll.
I assume he'd probably have different symptoms depending on what kind of... affliction he has. I was going to say virus, but viruses are viruses... Other things can be wrong with a computer... Because, the computer is the obvious machine to compare a robot to, in case you were wondering why I'm talking about a computer.
ANYWAY.
Like, he could overheat and have a "fever" and slow down and be extremely tired. I think that could be pretty common with robots, considering how hard hum-..er...organics (sorry, I'm prejudiced.) work them. They're built to work. Always. I think that's more like the equivalent of exhaustion, and even though exhaustion is an illness of sorts, probably not the kind you're thinking of.
So, okay. Computer viruses make much sense. Although... How could he "catch" a virus?
HMMMMMMM.

He could "catch" a virus by plugging into a computer or a technological system that already had a bug, or maybe he got a bad piece of tech installed or the LGMs did it. Or maybe he had some really bad oil/lubricant.
?
