least
to me
    Is the
orifice beneath the proboscis out of which comes the sound the
virus transmits and into which
    Bizarrely
    It pushes
the food it consumes
    It is a
multi-purpose orifice of the most complex kind and one which we
shall not be discussing in any detail because of my lack of
knowledge on the inner workings of the virus
    But no
such orifice exists in any of our species
    And it is
a wonder to see
    *
    It has
four limbs much as Defgars and ObsRecs and other Machines
have
    Two upper
and two lower
    And
    Like
me
    They are
able to move forward
    Backward
    Sideward
    On the
lower limbs whilst using the upper ones for balance
    Additionally
    It is
able to bend and roll or even upend its position by standing upon
its palms
    They also
have opposing digits near their palms which allows them to
grip
    Hold
    And
lift
    It also
has an outer shell that varies in colour from light
    Through a
deeper colour
    To a most
dark colour
    But even
these colours change dependent upon weather conditions
    Turning
darker during warm times
    And paler
during cold periods
    And the
outer shell is almost as flexible as an ObsRecs
    It can
stretch and shrink and the virus can perform as many twists and
turns as I can
    Though
not as quickly and rarely so dramatically
    But it
does not have a gyroscope within its central section
    Nor does
it have an inertial guidance system
    Their
movements are always a source of mystery to me
    But as
Screenreaders will be able to see
    The virus
has many aspects to it that has nothing in common with our
species
    The upper
chest area can vary to an enormous degree in those of the virus
with no appendage hanging between their lower limbs
    Lumps
develop that can be extremely large or very small
    They can
droop low
    Or stand
pertly
    They can
weigh heavily
    Or weigh
very little at all
    They can
be tipped with large brown circular ends
    Or small
pink ends
    These
lumps seem to be important when tiny virus falls from the taller
strain because the tiny one spends a great deal of time with its
cranial orifice attached to one
    Much as
ObsRecs do when we are being upgraded
    When we
attach to a connector
    The tiny
virus is extremely noisy and very very messy but MengTechs have
discovered during their experiments that it contains almost
everything the taller virus contains
    Though
everything is much smaller
    And
following down from those lumps they can have middle sections that
are very flat or very fat
    It seems
that age has a great deal to do with whether that form of the virus
has a flat or a fat middle
    And
following down the frame from the middle we come to an another
orifice that is almost always partly hidden beneath more hair and
out of which the virus exudes liquid that can be relatively clear
or bright red
    Why this
should be is something else that is a mystery to me
    Though
the red liquid is identical to the liquid that flows from the virus
when it is cut or sliced or diced
    *
    As can be
seen
    This sub
strain of the virus
    Comes in
many non-uniform shapes
    Colours
    Sizes
    But they
all move in the same manner and make similar noises
    *
    The other
sub strain of the virus behind the glass wall
    As the
Screenreader may perceive
    Is
    In
general
    Slightly
larger and heavier than the first strain and has more hair upon its
head and upon its frame
    Though it
shares identical optical devices
    Listening
devices and proboscis
    And the
lower cranial orifice as previously described
    I also
grows the substance called hair beneath and around the cranial
orifice
    This
strain of the virus does not share lumps on the upper area with the
other strain
    Except in
the case of the older virus that seems to develop them
    Though
tiny virus have never been noticed holding them in their lower
orifices
    It also
has the same flat or fat middles
    But when
one arrives at the top of the lower limbs
    As
screenreaders will see when I focus my AH3Ds
    It has an
extraordinary appendage which varies greatly in size from one virus
to the other
    Some have
enormous
