Standing there you say hello, and besides the hum of the servers across the way outside your office it is quiet.

You ignore your feeling and sit down in front of your computer and turn it on, immediately you notice a small bug not dissimilar to the one attached to the security guard downstairs crawl across your desktop and up onto your monitor.

Calmly try to converse with it, while backing up to the water cooler and getting a drink.

You try to talk with the bug, besides half talking to yourself you make totally no progress into determining if it even can talk, and you were thirsty besides and not scared shitless.

You poke the bug with your pen, the bug is unfazed by your pen and remains firmly attached to its position on your screen, though you can touch it and feel it and even move it a little it doesnt seem to mind.

Try to pick it up. Inspect it.

Do not let it attach itself to us.

The bugs have always been there, we just couldn't see them, pretend not to notice these things and we're good.

You pick up the bug off the screen, it squirms and wrestles its way out and hops back onto your monitor resuming its previous position once again.

You enter in you password and finish starting your computer, the bug removes itself from your monitor and takes up a position on your computer tower.

You go about your job and check for missing virtual connections, and come up with three in the same server grouping, T41 T35 T57.

You get up and leave your office, you go across the hall and into the server room, you walk down to T group and star down the collum of server rows towards the closest, 35,  and stop as you see bugs like the one in your office fighting bugs of a differing coloration on the serverbank centered on a larger bug attached over the partition that is disconnected...
