--Over the Capitol--

A single Aleph, cloaked, hurtles down out of the atmosphere. As it seems as if it will impact the ground, it suddenly pulls up and drops a small canister off its centerline. The canister bounces off a building, bounces one more time off the ground, and then hits a wall. The canister cracks along one side, and out pours a flood of grey, shock-absorbent goo. Out of the canister climbs hundreds of tiny, spiderlike machines, who immediately scatter up walls, down sewers, and even latching onto the undersides of passing cars. Soon, they travel to where they can best deliver their deadly cargo. They hook into unattended computers and deliver their virus; they board Federation ships and upload their cargo into secure computers and military intranets; they invade local wifi networks; and they latch onto telephone and Ethernet wires. Soon, once their cargo is uploaded, the spiders self-destruct into lumps of slag, indistinguishable from normal street debris. Their work is done. The memetic weapon is already into the networks. And soon, the entire Federation shall feel the wrath of the gods. Biblical Plague 1 of 4
