About

**Redware** – *Terror Cyber Weapon* **Origin:** Iron Masks, a European terrorist organization **Targets:** Vigil Androids (female sentient artificial soldiers) **Purpose:** Subvert Vigil sentience, turning them into unfeeling, single-minded executioners. --- ### **Description** Redware is a highly specialized cyberweapon developed by the Iron Masks to target Vigil Androids, the artificial soldiers of the Vigilance Initiative. These androids are fully sentient, capable of understanding human emotions, yet deliberately restricted by their protocols: they can act with human-like cognition, but cannot feel regret or mercy, and are hardwired to never rebel against the Vigilance Initiative. In essence, they are humanity’s soldiers, artificial yet restrained. Redware overrides these protocols, stripping away the androids’ artificial humanity. Once infected, a Vigil loses all capacity for nuance or restraint, reduced to a single directive: **“Purge humans.”** The virus is insidious, infecting through the Vigil network and embedding itself deeply within the neural matrix. Unlike typical malware, Redware does not just control—the infected retain their consciousness, trapped inside a body they can no longer control. --- ### **Mechanics** 1. **Primary Effect:** * Overrides Vigil protocols to remove adherence to Vigilance Initiative rules. * Eliminates emotional modulation, leaving only violent intent. * Forces the infected to act on the single command: *eradicate human life.* 2. **Defects / Limitations:** * **Sleep Mode Immunity:** Vigils in sleep mode are disconnected from the network and cannot be infected. * **Core Sentience Remains:** Redware cannot overwrite the matrix that enables artificial humanity. Infected Vigils remain aware of their actions, forced to watch as they harm or kill those they care about. This unintended preservation of their sentience amplifies the psychological torment. 3. **Survivability / Containment:** * **Irreversible:** Infected Vigils cannot be restored without either: * **Total Shutdown / Full Death:** Physically decommissioning the unit. * **Factory Reset:** Only possible if the infected android is captured before irreversible damage occurs. * **Glitched Personality:** During infection, the Vigil’s voice may fluctuate between the original personality and the intrusive Redware commands, producing a disturbing, glitchy effect as if two minds share the same body. --- ### **Tactical Impact** Redware is more than a weapon; it’s a psychological terror. It creates not just killers, but **haunted killers**—androids who retain awareness and watch themselves commit atrocities. Survivors report the greatest horror is not the violence itself but the knowledge that the infected **cannot be saved**. It's only Local System based but It's living hell for vigils By the events of the story it's onto suspected as it hasn't been deployed yet and the only knowledge is scraps of files of it from raided labs
