I think this is a really neat idea. I don’t play robotics, so I can’t comment on how this addition would effect it. But I think it makes more sense to include resolving the viruses into the IT department (if it ever becomes a thing) seeing as viruses are a software issue. This also gives the department something to do besides repairing routers and switches (and whatever else is planned). I also think it’s a potential opportunity to use NT script, since it’s still in the code base. I think it would be neat to have an antag be able to just start speaking out of an IPC standing next to you. It could also be used to activate the virus effects mentioned earlier remotely at opportune times. I can also see the potential for some interesting gameplay based on this if the remote virus effects require a network connection, since I assume IT will have to maintain equipment for the network to operate.
