It will likely infect whatever Engi ship passes next, but your mission is too vital to risk re-infection by stopping it.

( After destroying enemy ship) With the ship destroyed, you detect that the virus has abandoned your ship and disappeared somewhere within the systems of the wreckage.Your ship is repaired for 30 hull points and your reactor is upgraded by 1 level.(Advanced Hacking) Reprogram the virus.You receive the Drone Reactor Booster augmentation.They offer a unique ship augment as a reward. The Engi thank you for deleting the virus, and jump away.Your ship is repaired for 15 hull points and your reactor is upgraded by 1 level.After a few minutes, the virus "sees the light" and integrates itself in a positive manner with the computer society on your ship, repairing your hull and attempting to optimize your reactor.You proceed to interface with the virus and optimize its repair and benvolence routines.(Improved Hacking) Reprogram the virus.You receive a low amount of scrap and resources, and the Drone Reactor Booster augmentation.They offer a unique ship augmentation as a reward. You eject the system from the ship and then silence the little binary criminal with your weapons. It takes some time, and the virus is slippery, but you eventually confine it to a useless sub-system prison where it frantically begins calculating insults at you.(Hacking System) Isolate and quarantine the virus.You receive a random amount of scrap and the Drone Reactor Booster augmentation.The Engi send some parts over to repair your damaged computer, along with a unique ship augmentation as a reward for terminating the virus. There is a burst of O2, and the Engi ship powers down its weapons, no longer sensing the virus on board. Oddly enough, the Lanius seems aware of which computer the virus is present in, and proceeds to.(Lanius Crew) Your Lanius crewmember gestures frantically.Clone Bay: The virus appears to have disrupted your clone bay's capability to revive the lost crewmember!.

You (temporarily) lose 1 Engi crewmember.As the Engi attempts to contact the vessel and negotiate, your Engi crewmember suddenly dissolves into nanites - the virus has murdered again! Detecting activity on board your ship, the Engi vessel opens fire!.(Engi Crew) Have your Engi crewmember negotiate with the Engi ship.The Engi be damned, no one threatens your ship.Fight an Engi ship with your engines and shields systems' maximum power halved (rounded down).eventually you trap the virus in the weapons systems to purge it, but before you do, the Engi grow restless and attack! Wiping your engine core and shields proves useless.Hold on! Let us try to purge the system code!.They insist they must destroy your ship to prevent the virus from escaping!.The Engi are awaiting you at the beacon, with their weapons on-line! They explain a computer virus that is wanted for hostile acts against the Engi (multiple counts of binary scrambling, nano-dissolution, and variable interference) is aboard your vessel.
