Traits

An affliction that causes internal rusting that rarely causes filigree metal growths. Once the filigree growth starts, it continues until the whole softbot is eventually encased in it, unable to move.

There are treatments being developed that slow the spread and advancement of this affliction- but currently once you have it, it will inevitably completely immobilize and kill you. SoftBots that don't have this affliction tend to regard it as beautiful, much to the dismay of the ones who have to live with it.
