Elektroid CPU Squeaky Assault Drone is what is left of "Squeaky" after a gathering drone abducts him from the engine room in the movie Virus (1999)
Tugboat Sea Star, captained by alcoholic Robert Everton, loses its uninsured cargo while sailing through a typhoon. Sea Star's crew, led by navigator and ex-Navy officer Kelly Foster and engineer Steve Baker, discover the engine room taking on water. When Sea Star takes refuge in the eye of the storm to make repairs, Volkov appears on their radar. Realizing that it could be worth millions in salvage, Everton orders his crew aboard. Everton orders Steve to help a fellow crewman, Squeaky (Sea Star's mechanic), restore power to the ship. Squeaky stays behind in the engine room to affect repairs. He is abducted by gathering drones and disappears into a tunnel. Squeaky is next seen in a dark room with a dimly lit 'modified' face. Later, on the bridge, the Squeaky Assault Drone breaks through the bulkhead uttering "Steve!" at which point the remaining crew open fire on it, disabling it. There are no more sequences featuring Squeaky drone.
