Doctor Ivo Robotnik, a heavy set individual with an 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 a time and it needed some way of transforming huge numbers in a relatively short time. 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 thanks 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 on 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 were 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.

At first, he was thinking of trying to create a roboticizer whose range would be all of Mobius itself. However, there was a problem that he ran into that stopped him before he could even finish crafting the blueprint for such a machine within his mind. The problem there was that he was creating a machine just like before which would take time and effort to build. Even if he could do it the fact that it was a machine like all the other roboticizers meant that his enemies would either have an idea or discover something that could counter or deal with the machine just like they had done so with every other roboticizer in the past. If he was going to do something to prevent that then he would need to go about doing the reverse of what the Bem did as he would need to counter the immunity that they have been given by the Bem after all.

For a prolonged period of time, Robotnik was working on the new process to roboticize whoever he wanted regardless of their race or whatever immunity they were supposed to have against it. It was something he was working on while at the same time using the more traditional design and process as a decoy to distract his enemies. Keep them from realizing that he had decided to change his tactics rather the attempt to make the old process work again.

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 happen to hit something then all he had to do was replace if it was some equipment was repair it or recycle the robian(fully robotic ones in origin he was using at the time) that was hit and they were still walking around out there carrying out their jobs as the weather did not affect 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 the thunder that followed the lightning bolt caused him to screw up while making some measures that required his full attention thus making so everything that he was working was now lying on the floor in a huge pile. As the chemical and other substances began to mix together a cable that had come loose because of the lighting bolt touched the mixture and electrocuted it into nothingness.

Furious at this, Robotnik waited for the 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.

What Robotnik did not know was that what he was working on did not get electrocuted into nothingness. Instead, it was through a mere accident of everything that happened as a result of the lightning bolt just now merged into something far more potent and dangerous than Robotnik had ever planned for it to be. A way to roboticized people faster then what than what was currently available and could not be stopped by any form of immunity either.

That was the answer that Robotnik came up with as if the Bem had given those of Mobius immunity to the roboticization process then he did not need to figure out how to remove it but instead get around it. Immunity could be compromised after all thinking of what the Bem had done was giving them an immune system to roboticization then all he needed to do was create something akin to a virus. Something that could be compromised that immunity just like how normal viruses compromised the immune system or computer viruses compromised security system.

Playing a dangerous game was an attempt to create something akin to a virus that he could control was the new roboticization process he was working on however the result was now different.

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 it entered into the body. Robotnik's attempt to play with and control life had finally gone too far and it resulted in something that he could not control a threat that was greater than anything he could have imagined.
