## About The Pull Request This PR adds a small, pre-canned virus to the game, the "Localized Weightloss Malfunction" virus, or weightlessness virus. Weightlessness is a weak contact virus that can only spawn due to randomized virus spreading virus. The virus itself applies weightlessness via having the mob produce their own internal supply of gravitium, resulting in a lack of control from gravity. This is a bit of a patch job, and if we'd like to make this apply a more specific status debuff that can be managed, but this works well enough for proof of concept anyway.  The disease is cured via liquid dark matter, but has a reasonable chance to self-cure as well similar to most diseases do nowadays. ## Why It's Good For The Game Seemed like an interesting mechanical intersection, and while it can be frustrating, it is by no means a round removal virus. It is debilitating enough that it would necessitate a medbay visit. Liquid dark matter also serves as a occasional grenade chemical, but giving it a medical use provides another inch of plausible deniability. I made this PR a little bit ago on a whim, and it's been sitting on my repo for a hot second here, so I thought I'd get this moving if there's no major issues.
