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
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. They can block adenosine receptors to wake someone up like caffeine. Gene alterations work by modifying stem cells and replacing the old tissue gradually.
In the story
After the crash the nanomachines heal Kurt's broken arm and head injury and adapt him to Calima while he is in a coma. During the attack of the The sunken, the tracker robots release clouds of them, thick enough to be seen like swarms of insects; within range of the ship's field they swirl around the creatures, which show a clear adverse reaction and flee.
