the
final result is always the same
    An
explosion of gore and grey matter and red innards
    All of
which are a complete mystery to me
    ObsRecs
are not versed in medical matters or in MengTechs
techniques
    And of
course there are many DocTechs to attend to the needs of the
virus
    Just as
there 10 GoebTers who attempt to communicate with it and teach it
the basics of our system so that they may understand
    ±The GoebTers are the least successful of all those who treat
the virus
    It seems as if the virus does not want to watch or listen to
anything GoebTers have to transmit±

    We pass
the FoodTechs who are busying with various foodstuffs
    All of
which are a mystery to me
    And we
move forward Screenreaders
    To where
the virus is contained
    Which is
something many of our species may never have perceived or observed
and I am proud to bring both vision and sound to such an
experience
    Screenreaders must feel no adverse effects for I have been
carrying out this duty regularly for a great time and have never
been attacked or infected
    I just
pass my palm over the final security device to allow ingress and as
can be seen it opens and in we go
    And
there
    Far below
the balcony on which we stand
    And
spread over the many acres of land contained by the
building
    Is the
virus
    Many
examples of it mingling and making a mighty noise with the sounds
of their communication
    They have
no system of relaying information electronically and therefore use
the orifice sited in the lower part of their cranium with which to
communicate directly
    We shall
be taking an elevator to a lower level so that Screenreaders may
observe the virus even more closely
    Screenreaders may feel no discomfort for all is
safe
    Armed
Defgars patrol corridors
    And here
we are in the elevator
    And down
we go
    Here we
are at a lower level where we will now travel along a thickly
glassed corridor whilst observing and recording the
virus
    I must
add at this point of the broadcast that I have not yet been
programmed to understand what the virus signifies when it makes
sound
    So sound
will be what it remains
    I shall
not be able to interpret for the Screenreader
    *
    Now
    The first
thing that will become obvious to Screenreaders is how much like
some of our species the virus looks
    It has a
cranium
    Very
similar to the ones Defgars and ObsRecs
    And other
Machines
    Have
    Though in
many cases the virus cranium is topped with a substance called
hair
    Something
I mentioned earlier in this transmission
    And it
has two optical devices high in the cranium
    Much like
your guide
    But their
optical devices cannot transmit information to other
sources
    The virus
can only transmit images to itself and unlike the Advanced AH3Ds in
my cranium
    They are
organic
    They are
an integral part of the virus
    And
unlike the optical devices embedded in my cranium the virus
instruments are known to exude liquid on four separate
occasions
    When they
appear joyful
    When they
suffer sadness
    When they
are being experimented upon by MengTechs
    When they
suffer illness
    MengTechs
have yet to discover why this leakage of liquid is either
necessary
    Or
important
    To the
virus
    And
DocTechs have discovered no medical purpose for the
discharges
    The virus
has a proboscis similar to a number of our species
    Including
your guide
    Though
they are not uniform as with those of our species
    Some are
longer
    Some
tinier
    Some
wider
    Some
lying flatter to the cranium
    There
does not seem to be a standard design
    And some
of the proboscis leak liquid
    Sometimes
the virus has an explosive discharge from it
    And as
can be seen at either side of the cranium the virus has listening
devices through which it hears the sound of both itself and the
noise of others
    Sometimes
it hears the noise of several of the virus at the same
time
    And as
with the proboscis
    These are
not uniform and differ widely in shape and size
    But most
marvellous
    At
