Appears in: Descent

Nanomachines, or drones, are the tiny machines that Omega controls throughout the ship and inside the bodies of its crew.

In Descent (2258)

How it works

The nanomachines are present in almost every part of the ship: from repairing the nanomesh and mantaining the systems, to printing food or providing instant medical aid.

In the recreation tanks, in the reactive gel called [bouillie], nanomachines act on the nervous, cerebral and muscular systems to induce the virtual experiences, keep the body fit, clean and healthy, and carry out gene therapy continuously, so that disease has almost disappeared and life expectancy is almost 3900 cycles. Gene alterations work by modifying stem cells and replacing the old tissue gradually.
