Penance

Avani is its greatest fear.

That's not an exaggeration. Penance is a sapient virus given flesh, from the same once computer system as several others. While it doesn't quite understand all the talk of gender and pronouns, it prefers none of them if asked. It's quiet and fearful in most cases, seeming determined not to make anyone else have reason to remind it that it's a virus.

Not avoidant, though - except where Avani is concerned. Penance will flee with a warbling click and set of pops the moment the small fighter comes within a certain range, only relaying that it feels "Deletion is Imminent" should it remain too close to them. Attempts to explain that the violent fighter doesn't attack clanmates (often) are met with increased fear - Penance is terrified of Avani for reasons it won't completely explain.

Perlis, when asked, shrugs. "Of course it is." She says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

Radia, when asked, shakes her head. "More information that's not mine to be sold. Ask Penance and Avani."

Penance, for its part, really likes building paper planes and doesn't want to explain. Wouldn't you rather build a plane with it instead?
