Tommy SpungeRot targets his audiophile neighbor, Julius, by infiltrating his apartment and corrupting his high-end headphones with Rot Magik. Upon wearing the tainted device, Julius is subjected to "Grunge Rat Metal," a sonic virus that bypasses his conscious mind to violently rewire his biology and psyche, transforming him into a Gamma-ranked grunge metal rotten rat. The corruption is finalized when Tommy breaches the apartment to breed the disoriented recruit, sealing Julius's loyalty and establishing him as the Clan's audio specialist with a new task to claim more of Floor B. ~5500 words
