Virus Isolation Center

The Virus Isolation Center (ウィルス保管センター) is a facility located in District 5 of Academy City.

Background
It is where Academy City-made computer viruses are analyzed and antivirus software is made. The center has a number of unanalyzed viruses and a number of experimental viruses purposefully created by Academy City researchers. The viruses, like other technology, are 20 or 30 years ahead of those found outside of Academy City. The viruses, old generation and completely new ones, for Academy City machines would be a completely unknown threat to machines outside of it.

Battle Royale Arc
GROUP was contacted about a cracking attempt being carried out against the Center. Due to a attempted assassination of Oyafune Monaka by SCHOOL earlier in the day it was assumed they were behind it. The Center being targeted was dangerous as an old generation virus for Academy City machines would be a completely unknown threat to machines outside of the city. An even bigger threat would be if a brand new virus that not even Academy City’s antivirus software could handle was leaked. To stop this from happening GROUP went to one of the External Connection Terminals which wouldn't shut down. Later it was discovered that it was actually BLOCK behind the cracking attempt. They had done so to turn Academy City's network counter-measure team into a state of confusion while they attempted to gain control of the Hikoboshi II satellite.
