What else is a computer going to do? They only sit there, they have no legs.

Nevertheless, SXT-2 yanks her inbuilt USB connector out from her arm, and plugs that in as well. She has no sense of caution, that's the antivirus’ job. After a moment, the “dead” computer flickers its death-black screen and flashes a startup window. The android rattles like leaky plumbing by way of response, a truly concerning sound, but at least her text response is completely coherent.

I was right- turning it off and on again works. :)
