Doctor Robotnik, a heavy set individual with orange mustache and small glasses, was currently working on his latest plan to get rid of the Freedom Fighter and enslave the remaining population of Mobius to do his bidding with robots only loyal to him. The previous way he had been doing it was using an invention he had stolen from a colleague called the robotizer. It was easy to steal, reprogram, and reproduce the robotizer and with it, he managed to build up enough force that he had managed to overthrow the current monarchy of Mobius. The problem with the robotizer was that it could only do one person at time and he needed some way of transforming huge numbers in a relatively short time. As despite all the progress he made because of the robotizer, its inability to transform multiple people at a time was a weakness that if he could get, it would make taking over the planet much easier. Then there was the fact that thank to some alien race called the Bem the original roboticizer no longer worked and every method he had come up with since then has proved as effective since it took too long.

Thus the current project he was working would be able to strike without warning countering what defensive ability the Bem de-roboticizing process gave them and its effects would be fast enough that the victim would have no chance of resisting or even noticing the change until it was too late. The things that he had laid out before were what was going to help him in his quest to make a more mobile and silent way of robotizing the citizens of Mobius into his robot slaves.

Outside in the building he was working in, the rain was pouring down in buckets and lighting danced across the sky for as far as the eye could see. However, this was of no consequence to the evil doctor since he was not outside and if the lighting did happened hit something then all he had to do was replace if it was some equipment was repair it or recycle the robian that was hit and they were still walking around out there carrying out their jobs as weather did not affected them nor did not stop them from carrying out their assigned duties.

However, while Robotnik may have been safe with the building he was residing in to carry out his experiment, the building itself was not so lucky and a large lighting bolt just happened to strike it, causing a power surge to overload the electric system of the building, despite the surge protectors that were in place.

"Stupid Snivley, what the hell type of surge protector did he install here?" the doctor growled as the sudden shock of being put in the dark and thunder that followed the lighting bolt caused him to screw up while making some measure that required his full attention thus making so everything that he was working was now lying on the floor in huge pile. As the chemical and other substance began to mix together and a cable that had come a loose because of the lighting bolt touch the mixture and electrocuted it into nothingness.

Furious at this, Robotnik waited for backup generator to start, so he could get on the intercom and demand that his nephew get over here this instant so he not only yelling at him for the crappy job he had done, but also take out some of his angry toward losing what he had been using in his development of a new roboticization process.

"Yes, sir Snively," he asked hoping that he would not get yelled at too badly or hurt from the sound of his uncle voice from over the intercom.

"Where the hell did you get surge protector it was nothing but a junk pile" the heavy set individual yelled at him.

"I am sorry, sir," Snviley said

"Apologized denied," Robotnik told him then wondered what was wrong with what he had just said.

"Voice processor seems irregular; this may lead to errors if not checked," Snivley replied, wondering what was wrong with what he just said.

Robotnik then grabbed his nephew by the hand and yanked the small man toward him. Though because the speed and force that was used was more then he expected, he let go and moved out the way as Snivley ended up flying across the room where he hit the wall so hard it left an dent the size of his body

After hitting the floor with a heavy clang, Snively got up almost immediately but did not seem to blink or even show any sign of concern that his uncle had just dislocated his shoulder from that throw just now.

Maybe the reason he showed no concern towards the fact that his shoulder had just been dislocated was because of what was happened to him. The seven remaining hair that he had on his head had been transformed from single strand to handle in which various tools were now stored. His skin was now a silvery color (similar to the time when he was robotized before) and his eyes were now red pupils with black eye whites. Repair/Service Overlander SN38L3Y looked down at the clothing it was wearing.

'SN38L3Y dressed in useless articles though remove of useless articles is noted as irrelevant until they obstructed this unit from performing it assigned task,' the small robian then turned it attention toward its dislocated shoulder without feeling the slightest amount of fear or anger towards its superior ranking unit for doing this. They just methodically began to reconnect their arm with the same amount of indifference when the robot had discovered the dislocation. He then looked toward the wall and then back at its superior.

"SN38L3Y will get to work on the repair at once to the damage the building has sustained as well as repairing the surge protector," the repair and service robot that was once Snively said in a monotonous synthetic voice of his own voice.

"Acknowledged, this unit will relocate to a different location to continue its duty," the weapon development Overlander RO46N3K said in the same way as his skin was too was now completely silver in color. Also their mustache was transformed into two removable brushes and their fingers became like a pocket knives of tools as each finger now contained a different tool. RO46N3K also shared SN38L3Y's views toward their clothing as their removal was irrelevant until they got in the way of their duty.

Robotnik and Snivley or RO46N3K and SN38L3Y had both just become victims of what he had been searching just minutes ago. A way to robotized people faster then what then what was currently available. That mixture he thought had been electrocuted into nothingness had really just become like a virus that attacked any living matter it came in connect from within whatever from when they inhaled. Robotnik and Snivley desire to be re-roboticized themselves and the inhabitants of Mobius after the Bem incident had left them de-roboticized and immune to the original roboticizer had come true. However while it no longer matter the cost of their being re-roboticize was the same as Mobians that Robotnik wished to do the same too. He was now no more then a robot that could only follow orders and since the robotized element of Robo virus was still in the proto-type stage of development. This meant the two roboticized Overlanders were masterless only leaving them set to do what they do best. If the victims happened to be slackers or good at nothing, the virus was only able to give them basic command to do simple things based on their surroundings. If their area was dirt they were to keep it clean or things along this line.

The Robo Virus spread over Robotropolis multiple times again and again as it infected whatever organic happened to be left with this mechanical city turning changing it from organic to lifeless metal. As for Robians and normal robots that worked within this city, they were continuing to be as instructed because the loss of their master and sub-master were not felt yet, since they were still carrying out the last orders they were given by the weapon development and repair/service models that were once Robotnik and Snively. However, once former Overlander's army of Robians and robots finished their current orders, there was no telling what exactly would happen; but it was safe to say that there would be chaos within Robotropolis, though the rest of Mobius however would not be that worried about this because by the time this comes to pass, a large part of Mobius would have been transformed into metallic version of itself. The remaining organic population would try to combat against the Robo Virus; however, it would prove to be useless as this was not something that they could not fight against as it was created through a freak accident so finding a cure to it with the time they would have left would be unlikely. Not even the de-roboticizer would prove useful as this was a virus that would just re-infect though that the machine had just de-roboticzed the second they came out.
