...and, yeah, I've had an demo version too, so I've found some sounds referring to Virus.

The first problem with demo is in mach1.met. That file is different type than one from full game, so we can't use metaex. Another problem is that the demo has only level 3 machines. Virus is described as L_PULSE_CANNON_R_VIRUS and it is propably developed for overseer level 4 or 5.

In full game, command related to virus and models from models.bin are removed.

Update: it is possible to hack Machines Demo to think that LR_PULSE_RIFLE_X2 is L_PULSE_CANNON_R_VIRUS. Result:
Commandant with Virus Accellerator and Heavy Pulse Cannon.png
Unfortunately game crashes after selecting this commander.

I think it might be something that was created to be Treachery we have.
