Chapter 17
Ms. Wakeman has never encountered anything like this before.
MS WAKEMAN: It's called the Maverick Virus. It has the ability to take control of any robot and pass on to others.
BRAD: So it can control any robot it comes into contact with.
MS WAKEMAN: Correct. It also increases their strength and power by 100%. The infected robot's mind is corrupted and acts upon the will of the virus.
SHELDON: (In awe) What kind of mind does it take to create such a virus? Why would it even be considered?
MS WAKEMAN: I would like to know that as well. The only command I could make sense of was to destroy and nothing more. I cannot figure what kind of gain that would attain.
TUCK: (Sarcastic) Yeah, like every other villain out there.
SHELDON: Can it be deleted?
MS WAKEMAN: That's another problem. The virus duplicates and takes control of most major functions, especially those of memory.
BRAD: That's why Zero couldn't recall his creator!
MS WAKEMAN: That information is unfortunately too fragmented to access or fix.
SHELDON: So we've reached a dead end with that. What can we do about the virus?
MS WAKEMAN: I don't know.
Tuck picks at a band-aid on his arm.
BRAD: Stop that Tuck. Do you want another shot?
Ms. Wakeman's eyes widen.
MS WAKEMAN: A shot? I know what to do!
SHELDON: (Excited) Well, what is it?!
MS WAKEMAN: A vaccine. I could make a vaccine to disable the Maverick Virus.
BRAD: That's a great idea! Can you make it now?
MS WAKEMAN: I need to study the virus more. Right now we need to hope that XJ-9 and Zero don't decide to make another visit.
BRAD: I wouldn't worry about that. Silver Shell took care of them on my way back here.
MS WAKEMAN: Well then I'll start. For now, you boys need some sleep.
BRAD: Me and Tuck will go home. We'll have to explain all of this dad.
Brad and Tuck leave.
SHELDON: If it's okay with you Ms. W, I'll stay up to help you. I'm pretty good with gizmos and stuff.
MS WAKEMAN: I don't see why not.
Ms. Wakeman and Sheldon work on into the night.
Meanwhile, Jenny and Zero are back in the old lab sleeping. Jenny raises her head and opens her eyes.
JENNY: Mom.
