I actually believe the Dust Palace Strike is a key part of this "infection." The reports state that Berriole traced it back to the Dust Palace...where Rasputin was trying to protect the remains of the Martian AI Cortex. If Charlemagne survived the Collapse, then Rasputin could have been protecting the best known place to find information on SIVA - Clovis Bray and Charlemagne. I believe Rasputin released the 5 viruses as a way of preparing us forSIVA, since already the red tendrils of the nanotechnology plague are creeping into Bunker-4. Where best to find answers, then the source?
