Someone has been taking Scott Kellogg's "Vulture" class craft seriously!
As I recall, he wrote that one such craft was taken over by the computer
of the Kinunir, which has been using various forms of virus to quietly
steal bits and pieces for itself.  Of course, even the Kinunir can't
write a bug-free virus.
