Story and Idea time!

Been a while, so I figured I'd pop down some new tid bits of information rolling around in my head. Three topics! The Xen Virus, Empress Hixlysss and the Tron Universe, and Hixlysss encounters the Force!
First up, The Xen Virus aka Xeno Plague, is a mostly a parasitic organism, but it's the size of a cell so it falls under the virus category due to size alone. It was originally developed by Empress Hixlysss as a bioweapon with the intent of converting entire worlds ecosystems to that of a xenomorph nature. It was used on some occasions, and due to her dimension hopping abilities was used on earth more than a few times during her "Kill humanity" phase of existence.
What the virus does is it infects a person and spreads through their cells, destroying the cells in the process and making more of itself but each new version is adapted to fit the role of the cell it destroyed. Similar to how xenomorphs take on traits of their hosts the virus does the same. This is usually a week long process, converting the person from point of infection outwards.
The end result of the infection is the person is a hybridized entity, much like Hixlysss was originally( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12013602/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11901358/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11475728/ ) before she fully evolved out of her humanity.
The newly created hybrid does have benefits, increased mental abilities, telepathy, connection to the hive mind, acid blood, the standard affair of enhanced senses as well. Perhaps the biggest benefit is the personal hive mind, all of the Xenomorph hybrids have a hive mind consisted of themselves, their entire body, every cell is a seperate copy of their consciousness, and over time each one can develop different views, but all work together, all connected to make up the hivemind that is the person's consciousness, this allows for much more complex thinking than before, and makes mind control over them much more difficult.
Next up! Empress Hixlysss and the Grid Sidestory! Inspired by this lovely image by Todex for drxeno: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12896012/
Yes yes, dimension hopping and all that fun stuff means she has bumped into everything you can ever think of, even a complete universe that functions like the tron one. So what did Empress Hixlysss do there? Everything! Well mostly exploring the limitations of what she could do, and how to do it. After all it was her directly interacting with a program.
It did take her some time to get a grasp of everything, a month or so, and then she set out to enjoy herself. Creating worlds, altering them, and of course bringing her beloved brood to the universe. After all there were worlds separated from one another, the void between them required bridges or tunnels to be built for travel, so her brood were isolated for some time before being found. But for the most part, she simply traveled around, exploring, encountering all sorts of programs, viruses, ect.
Another sidestory! This time Hixlysss ends up in the Starwars Universe~ Toyed around with this one, and it's one of the longer ones.
Harley arrived as she often does, in her chitin pod through the dimensional tunnel she dug from the last place she was at. Her pod should have crashed on a planet, but instead ended up actually being caught and brought onto a ship. Needless to say her old hatred of being an experiment flared up, and she took the droids poking at her none too kindly, and she quickly discovered that her normal telepathic abilities were functioning...differently.
It took her a moment, after snapping a droid in half, to realize that she was putting out a bit more power than usual, and then she facepalmed and realized where she was, and what was going on. She now had force powers, and had just pissed off a pirate ship that was planning on selling her off. Let's just say she tapped into her primal xenomorph roots and enjoyed herself for a while, before sending the ship crashing into the pirate's home base as she leaves in a shuttle.
So after that she spent time figuring out how to make use of these new powers, getting a grasp on them so she doesn't accidentally snap anything in two and the like, while also working as a bounty hunter. After all there is a lot of fancy tech she can use, and she gathered up as much as she could and put it to good use.
So she makes a name for herself as a bounty hunter, word gets out of her force powers after a couple run ins with sith and jedi alike, so now either side is trying to recruit her, or destroy her. And of course the first time she gets hit by a lightsaber she has to do a mental readjustment, normally her acid blood deals with most weapons, few resist it or it splatters around to damage other things, lightsabers don't do much splatter damage and it took a few blows before her chitin was able to harden enough to not get cut through like butter and even allow her to block.
Short version, she has a collection of lightsaber trophies from jedi and sith alike whom mistook her for one or the other side due to her...less than gentle and affectionate ways, or because she has a jedi/sith lightsaber or two hanging off her hip. Fun times abound indeed!
Though eventually it got boring. Bounty hunting was fun, but the interruptions from Jedi and Sith alike was becoming aggravating, so she decided to take up the trade. She didn't join either side, but did find herself a nice pupil to take under her wing and train how to use the force, how to survive and how to make a living, all without being consumed by the dark side, or blinded by the light side.

I am interested in the concept of the Xen Virus and Grid stories (and also kinda scared in the case of the former. But as long as I don't somehow end up in that fictional universe, I should be okay.)
