    The Defgars have been watching my approach from external
imagers incorporated in the outer shell of the building and screens
on the inside and have been checking my ObsRec security
clearance, ±though I am of the highest

    That is
why the weapons they carry in their upper limbs
    The
LazExt 66ers
    Are
pointing at the ceiling of the facility and not at me
    I would
not care to stare at one close up if it was pointed at
me
    The
Defgars allow me passage
    As
Screenreaders can observe
    Because
of the signal of companionship being transmitted from my
programmes
    And I am
proceeding along a corridor towards my current place of
employment
    Where I
observe living virus being tested
    Examined
and treated
    Screenreaders may easily identify other workers of our
species
    To my
right they may observe several MengTechs gathered around a screen
studying recordings of their own work
    They are
white in appearance and have few identifying features though they
possess one AH3D visual and audio imager central to their square
shape and 2 Advanced X Ray imagers either side of this
instrument
    X ray
imagers aid MengTechs in their experiments
    *
    MengTechs
are a simple square shape with six silver flexible metal antennae
projecting from them
    These
antennae are equipped with pincers at their ends so that they may
grasp any of the many instruments available to them
    And these
instruments are used for slicing
    Dicing
    Cutting
    Dissecting
    And
bisecting any number of the virus that are kept in some number in
this building
    ±It is believed that 10.000 examples of the virus reside in
this single building

    I pass
close to the screen and see that the MengTechs are watching a
recording of a silenced virus being experimented upon by the
team
    There are
40 MengTechs based at this facility and they deal with every aspect
of viral experimentation
    They move
silently along magnetic fields built into the base of the
building
    And spend
many hours of daylight and darkness in cages with examples of the
virus and dependent upon the experiment being performed on the
virus
    It
sometimes survives
    I move
past them
    In the
distance Screenreaders may see red coloured two wheel powered
production models with upper limbs that may be an initial mystery
to them
    These are
FoodTechs whose sole duty is to feed the virus that is contained at
the facility so that its strength may be kept up to allow more
examinations and experiments
    Many
FoodTechs have been attacked by the virus over the many
years
    Being a
FoodTech is a most dangerous duty
    The
virus
    It
seems
    Will
attack anything
    It seems
unable to restrain either rage or anger even after many years of
experimentation by MengTechs
    And many
lectures by GoebTers
    It will
attack any of my species without apparent reason and this aspect of
virus behaviour is still not understood
    For it is
kept in warmth and comfort
    It is
fed
    And
treated for ailments by DocTechs
    And it
has enjoyed these benefits since its defeat
    As I
mention food
    I must
call attention to the fact that the virus will consume almost
anything
    It will
consume the flesh of the animals of the fields
    The flesh
of the creatures that live in liquid
    The flesh
of the animals that fly in the sky
    It will
consume small animals in their entirety
    It also
consumes grasses
    Berries
    Fruits
    Roots
    Certain
numbers of the virus are
    Experimentally
    Fed
greatly by MengTechs so that DocTechs can study the effects such
treatment has upon it
    The virus
grows and grows and grows
    But
