Nano-Swarm (NS): Welcome to the ship, we have adjusted the holes so that you can breath air.
Ob: Holes?
NS: Yes normally the ship's mass is not completely sealed because we do not breath.
Ib: What do we call you exactly?
NS: We are called InsertNameHere, but Nano-Swarm is sufficient.
Ib: Err, right.
Ob: A bit of an odd name do not you think?
Ib: Less of the orb rolling I was busy. What are your goals exactly?
NS: Observe and Understand.
Ob: Is there a reason your ship is at the center of an usually high concentration of radiation?
NS: Yes, when we were dropped here seventy cycles ago into the lower atmosphere there was already a build up radiation. The natives call it the South Atlantic Anomaly, we call it home. The radiation helped us multiply at an exponential rate, as we expanded so did the anomaly.
Ob: How far have you actually expanded to?
NS: We are omnigifts.
Ib: Omni what? I think perhaps you need a communication update or two along with the power transfer.
NS: Let me clarify we are everywhere within this Solar System.
Ob: You said natives, do know which are the dominant species?
NS: That is an ongoing debate within the swarms since there many intelligent species on the planet below. Some are completely unaware of each other hence the debate.
Ib: Wait Panug! If you are everywhere then you knew about our issue with the Haxians and I had just had an excellent idea. Can you create a copy of our ship?
NS: Very easily.
Ib: Then do so and send it heading away on the same plane of the Haxian ship out of the system. They will be sure to follow it.
NS: That would require Command Override.
Ob: Err what is that exactly?
NS: Password please.
Ib: Ah! Well who reads the slab guides anyway?
Ob: I always read them, you do realise this swarm is...
NS: We are The Swarm not a or this!
Ob: Right, err. The Swarm is a huge source of information especially about the locals.
Ib: Read maybe understand Mmm! Fine! I will go back to the ship and see if I can find the slab. I will also set up a power transfer and communication update stream as well. You have fun with your data.
Ob: What do you know about the quadrupeds?
NS: It is best I direct you to a Search Panel, they will help you with your questions.
Ob: Perhaps I can just clarify a minor detail, if you are everywhere then were on our ship when we entered the system?
NS: We do have swarms at the edge however your ship's velocity and the high concentration of hydrogen stopped us from entering your craft at that time.
Ob: When did you enter exactly?
NS: When you arrived in orbit of course.
Ob: But you do not make contact?
NS: We observe and understand only.
Ob: Right. Your using Grey Communications right now, did you monitor our communications whilst we were on the ship?
NS: Internal telepathic communications are monitored how else could we understand.
Ob: Do you know how the natives of this planet communicate exactly?
NS: That will require you directing your questions to the Instruments.
Ob: What instruments exactly, there is nothing here.
NS: We created the Instruments to help us observe more especially on this particular planet. They are also known as Helper Swarms. We seeded them into lower atmosphere and used the native's machines that use heat exchange systems to multiply them further.
Ob: Your saying these Helper Swarms are the clouds?
NS: Only thirty six percent so far, precipitation drops their numbers. We have researchers working on the problem.
