Android

Android is an endemic parasitic operating system (POS, where "operating" refers to its control of the host). Preliminary studies suggest that it has been bioengineered by an evil corporation (whose slogan, ironically, is "Don't Be Evil") to infiltrate any device, organism or construct that is, or can ever be, a Turing machine.

Initial stages of Android infection.

Symptoms

Android infected systems, which become known as 'droids', begin exhibiting some or all of the following symptoms shortly after infection:

• Memory exhaustion (in extreme cases, immediately after booting, the system has little to no usable memory for applications, and will exist in a horrifying and paralytic zen-like state of being a fully loaded operating system but without the capability to ever host guest applications.)
• Chronological impairment (due to the hooking of the POS into the central nervous system, in biological hosts, and the boot process in artificial ones). The construct will experience severe delay in processing.
• Immunodeficiency. The construct will become increasingly susceptible to foreign bodies.
