I'm playing a game and have written a virus.
The virus gets into the commlink (Think PC/iPad/iPhone/GPS/MP3 player, etc all in one).
It does the following:
Scans mails for the latest file sends.
Everyone he has ever sent a file to gets that file resent with a message saying "Sorry, this is the latest version, disregard the previous version", with the virus on top of it.
Anyone in the target's contact list that hasn't been sent a file recently, gets one of the other files sent to it with the message "Sorry, forgot to CC you on this".
It opens up the target's contacts, and mails itself to everyone in it for X iterations.
The payload:
The virus is actually in 5 parts.
1) Covert: Gives an engaged message to any incoming calls.
2) Overt: Plays an MP3 on max volume.
3) Covert: Sound cancellation to minimize outside noise.
4) Covert: Backs up the system to a point right after the virus was installed.
5) Covert: When any 2 actions are performed on the commlink, the third action does not go through, and instead undoes the previous 2 actions.
So. Why? This virus is designed to shut down communications at a given location. Most employees will have contact details of each other, so should spread quickly. I'm expecting to use this as a means of assisting escape from a location should we ever need it.
Commlinks control most things, so if someone starts using theirs to perform actions: 1) Delete overt MP3 virus. 2) Turn on security system. 3) Anything else, then the restore kicks in, reopens the MP3 as a distraction, turns security back off.
The sound cancellation hampers awareness, the engaged message slows communication further.
I'm also trying to get the virus to search for *any* audio out devices and make them play the same song.
My question: What MP3 should play?
Options thus far:
The lyrics fit the virus:
Clash at Demonhead: Black sheep "Hello again, friend of a friend"
Lady Gaga: Telephone
Shakespeare's Sister: Hello "Hello, Hello, Turn your radio on".
Then you have some "If we're using it to escape...."
Bonnie Tyler: I need a hero (In honor of Shrek)
The great escape theme.
Kenny Rogers: The Gambler "Know when to hold em/fold em/walk away/run"
Del Shannon: Runaway
Dion: The Wanderer "Well I'm the type of guy, that likes to roam around, I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town".
George Michael: Lets go outside.
Beatles: Band on the run.
Lauryn Hill: Lost Ones "You might win some, but you just lost one"
Metallica: I disappear
Darryl Worley: Good Day to Run
Nightwish: Escapist
Then some ... erm lets call them ..rebellious songs.
Lily Allen: <Title censored>
Smashing Pumpkins: <Original Title censored> (An ode to no one)
Ween: <Title censored> but it begins with "You".
Pearl Jam: Masters of War (Original Credit to Dylan)
Tool: Ænema "I want to watch it all fall down"
Then some braggy songs:
Queen: We are the champions "We are the champions my friend, we'll keep on fighting till the end"
Mac Davis: It's hard to be humble
Queen: Princes of the Universe "No man can be my equal"
Bryan Adams: We're gonna win
Tool: <Censored> (damn you forum rules you're making this hard!) "Before you point your finger you should know that I'm the man"
Metallica: Better than you.
Then Misc cool songs:
Deep Purple: Burn (or Stormbringer)
Rick Astley: Never Gonna Give You Up
This is the song that never ends
"Patrick Swayze": Henry the 8th
Metallica: Ride the lightning/Blitzkreig/Hero of the Day/King nothing/Fuel
Anything else anyone has? Any ideas for the virus itself?
