The virus, which has subsequently been identified as a variant of the W32.0401.Worm computer virus, appears to copy itself by exploiting a protocol vulnerability in the electroencephalogram neural link that vTouch Systems is developing to connect a human brain with external devices.
The virus is also unique in that it has the flexibility to toggle its reproductive code based on the medium in which it resides. Originally programmed in C++, it can shift to RNA-based replication once in an organic substrate.
Happy April 1st, everybody.

Gave me goosebumps for a second!
In ten years, computer viruses probably really will be breaking the carbon barrier.
I really love the way this was written. Totally straight, and with a smattering of legit-sounding technical details. I couldn't resist snatching it.
You had me going till RNA.
