Redbird and ChrisW aren't the only ones who can throw down the gauntlet, doggone it! Anyway, here's the challenge: what would happen if someone created a computer virus that turned higher-level computers and AI's into a sort of robotic undead (zombies, vampires, and so on) and then set that virus loose? You don't have to limit yourself to fic -- you could use poetry, artwork, or whatever medium your muse dictates. Have fun!

"I am going to kiss him!" Jason grinned. "Him? How do you know it was a 'him'? Maybe it was a 'her'!" Princess demanded. "All the more fun for kissing." Jason leered. "Whoever it is, we owe them for writing that virus." Mark agreed. "Broop.... brilliant... breep.... hacker!" "I can't believe the Chief let us do this!" Tiny rubbed his hands in gleeful anticipation. "Okay, here we go." Mark told them. "You all know the plan. On 3... 2... 1..." The Commander opened the door, revealing the ready room of 7-Zark-7, which had been turned into some kind of vampiric headquarters. Every computer screen glowed green with undead pallor, and fish blood dripped from the walls. In the middle of it all stood 7-Zark-7, wearing his sweater as a diaper and his towel as a cape. "I shall rule the galaxy, Susan!" he was shouting. "I promise you that!" "Wanna bet?" Jason smirked ***the following events have been left to the sadistic imagination of the reader***

Confess, EW, you had Zark in mind, no? And he had it coming

True, DT, true! But the idea didn't come to me until I saw an episode of Space Dandy -- the entire population of the universe (organic and robotic) became space zombies.

My first thought was Zark also. What about their cerebonic implants? Hmmmmmm....

Go for, it, Becky! I just felt like I had to do the obvious...

....after all, TJ's love for Zark is legendary!

I love Zark more than I love Red Impulse. Although that's not saying much....

I dislike Zark more because Cronus wasn't in every episode like the tin can is.

Oh dear. I'm already behind since I wasn't going to do the blind challenge until I caught up on prompts again, and I was out of town so wasn't writing. Another one to start pondering! (challenges are good, they keep the synapses working)
