Area 02: Chapter 2

April 11th, 2021:

My parents were out of town, so I logged onto Roblox. The Roblox Player was still open! Inside the car with Wolfpack, Amigo, and the 2 officers, we chatted for a bit. Eventually an air raid siren would go off. What was going on, and why wasn't I kicked for being idle for too long?

"Thanks Amigo for making that idle-breaker thingy.", said Wolfpack. I assume he means some kind of auto clicker of sorts. I was sure that I had closed the Roblox player, but I guess I didn't.

"Destination arrived. Welcome to Robloxity". Robloxity? What are we doing in this game?

"We need to set up a command center. Get our exploiter online."

"Most of our exploiters have been killed and infected."

I checked on my sister and she said Roblox kept crashing and it wouldn't let her play and was crying so much. I searched up her account real quick to see what happened, and she was infected. I looked at the servers on Adopt Me and after 5 minutes of scrolling all I saw were Rashes and ATC officers. I can only imagine that a simple Adopt Me server is being violently torn apart by disgusting red zombie creatures.

There were a few normal people though. I looked at Jailbreak and Arsenal, same thing. Robloxity only had 7 people playing at the time, there were only 2 rashes. The bodyguard pulled out a rifle and gunned them down like a machine gun.

• Wolfpack: God these things are everywhere.
• Amigo: I know, right?
• Wolfpack: The hazmat boys are gonna go to Brookhaven first. We should start a plan.
• Amigo: What if we teleported the Rashes into a giant containment site and then kill them?
• Me: I like the sound of that. My little 7 year old sister got infected and she was crying and couldn't log in. I want people to be happy and not have all of their work erased and their account taken by a stupid A.I.
• Wolfpack: I agree, this thing is dangerous. I don't know what I was thinking exploiting these models so I can torture people. I'll just use something more violent but less destructive instead.
• Bodyguard: There's more of them!
• Random person in chat: Who are you guys?

• Amigo: WATCH OUT!

The random person that said that was next to us trying to get in the truck, but he was killed and dragged off the truck roof. He got infected then ran towards his RP family and infected them with the help of the Rash that killed him. The group of rashes started to raid into homes and take people out and violently infect them and rip off their limbs. I feel like I just want to stop playing, but I'm so intrigued I may as well stay. The rashes chase us through the street.

I went onto Youtube and searched up the topic. It was everything every Roblox player was talking about. Albert was infected, Denis was infected, and many other YouTubers were. KonekoKitten was talking about the situation, while Roblox themselves tried to find out what the NPC was. It was complete chaos. Hundreds of youtubers were live streaming the event, most of which were infected. I checked the roblox website, which had abnormal numbers. Some popular games like Adopt Me and MM2 were empty, while other popular games were filled to the brim with players, probably Rashes.

I then get an epiphany, the Rashes are attracted to players. I am freaking out, and then I scream as a Rash jumps onto the roof and tries to get in. The driver shoots it with a pistol and it falls into the front of the truck, then ran over and mangled into pieces. The survivors of the incident were sent by the ATC to a game where they would be in a safe building, a shelter. When I looked at the amount of people playing it was 80,000. "Only 80 thousand people have survived this?" I thought in my head. I asked what they were, considering these things are a literal virus.

• Me: What are these things?

• Wolfpack: We don't really know. The earliest piece of evidence of them existing dates back to 2004, when Roblox was still in testing.
• Wolfpack: A Roblox engineer saw a red object in one of the old minigames. When he went to Studio to inspect what it was, it was gone.
• Wolfpack: The second piece of evidence was in 2012. Roblox interrogated an exploiter to see if he was behind the April 1st hackings. He wasn't guilty, but was banned. He was banned not for hacking, but for making a model with a real Lua script in it. Roblox didn't accept the code since it uses a different type of Lua scripting but somehow the model was not deleted. Roblox eventually forgot about it.
• Amigo: The model was made in 2005, when Roblox was still in production. Apparently the exploiter was an ex-engineer for Roblox. The model broke eventually, but the hacker was unbanned in 2017. He remade the model and made it the Rash. This is only a conspiracy, the username of the hacker is unknown. Some people think it was 1x1x1x1, John Doe, and other myths. We don't know his username, but we know he was related to a hacker group similar to Tubers93, but he's out there. Still unbanned.
• Me: Wow. I can't believe it went that far back to before I was even born.
• Bodyguard: Yeah, this AI is old. One of the first AIs in fact, it might have been created by a programmer who was especially skilled in coding, Lua to be exact. Roblox's code, Luau, a dialect of Lua wasn't even designed to program AI, so we have almost no reason as to how it was made. The programmer must be one of the greatest I've ever heard of.

As we drove throughout the empty streets, more rashes started invading. "Where are they coming from" I shouted. Wolfpack said something about how the rash models had highly advanced Lua scripting and they could teleport to any game within Roblox. Even studio was being infected because it evolved somehow to get inside of other services. Wolfpack explains how this is an AI virus, which is especially dangerous since it knows how to act on its own, and it even has a mind at this point, making it dangerous.

"Crap."

"What?"

Amigo looked as if he was about to explode or his eyes were going to grow to the size of a bowling ball. "Somebody online just posted a video of the rashes in Minecraft."

Oh god... The model's code seemed to have became self aware and started going through the internet. Fortnite was down, Youtube was freaking out, and even the press and the media started talking about this too. Eventually the game started to lag because there was a whole ton of them chasing us. Eventually we hid up in the mountains by a news station. Then Steve Harvey came out of the recording room and told us to stay calm and GET OUT OF MY ROOM IM PLAYING FORTNITE

Then the anime force came in and broke police doors and ate a wall and then Doge started to throw televisions at me. Then it all went dark. I hear a loud, piercing siren. It just keeps buzzing. Then I start to see something. woke up. Ah. It was just a bad dream. I should have known better anyways. Just a bad dream. Maybe I should play some Roblox?

Wait, why is there a red figure on my laptop?

The end.
