Loan conferred with the operators ‘feeding’ the vats, then introduced his guests to one of the molecular programmers who had laid out the agenda for tonight’s nanotechnological miracles.
A reasonable (assuming nanotechnological premises) guess as to the form of an advanced extraterrestrial, one or two steps further up the hierarchical ladder, would place it beyond molecular machinery and into the database realm revealed by disassemblers and managed by Al capabilities.
The idea resembles work towards nanotechnological machines—a vision of tiny molecular kits for fabricating materials, molecule by molecule.
The week after that they were even shipping then down in environment tanks from the Milapa Swimmer Community to visit Camaguey’s nanotechnological reef.
There’s little hope that even his iron discipline and nanotechnological enhancements can free him from her spell.
