The connection for the nanites and enhanced poopsie seemed to be working on a principle of normal subspace communications and similar wavelengths as their comm badges. If they wanted it would not be too hard to block the signal transmission, or attempt to ‘hail’ into the signal to attempt a digital form of communications.

Kaden was interested by the way the nanites communicate. He did a deep scan to see if he could find what frequency the nanites communicated on. He tapped on his communicator and said, =/\=Computer, can you please do a deep analysis to determine what frequency the nanites are communicating? =/\= Kaden also took out his scanner and did the analysis as well. He waited for a response.

=/\= Scanning =/\= The computer intoned.

“Do you think we could communicate with them, Buchanan?” Gavin asked curiously. The CMO didn’t want to imagine the response they’d get back from the nanites if that was attempted.

“Anyone else feel themself getting closer to the edge by the second?”

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

“I’ll only run for the hills if the nanites escape the forcefield,” Doctor Stacey laughed. Gavin didn’t think that even the nanite-infested Poopsie would have enough strength to break out of it.

Kaden looked at Gavin and replied, “Communicating yes, but in the normal form of language no. They are very basic and the best we can probably do is binary and low level communication. We might be able to re-program the nanites but it might be possible. Do you think we want to go there? I would need some assistance by the science team.” He was curious how this would work.

“If reprogramming the nanites means I don’t have to have my phaser set to max stun, I’m all for it.” Kyle felt the palms of his hands begin to perspire slightly.

-Lieutenant Kyle Anders: Chief of Security-

=/\= Scan complete, there is a short range subspace link running at 1.27 ghz detected. This signal appears digital only, not auditory or visual. Would you like to open a communication signal? =/\= The computer inquired.

It seems the earlier comment about using some form of binary to communicate would be in order and correct. Meanwhile the nanite enhanced mouse remained still looking around now and then to those observing it with an unusual twinkle of intelligence in its eyes.

Kaden thought for a minute and responded to the computer =/\=I am not sure if we need to open a communication signal but is there a way to interrupt the communication between the nanites since we know the range to listen and might be able to put the communication together in an output we could interrupt into Federation Standard? I am not sure we are ready to openly communicate but getting some data would be ideal.=/\= Kaden then waited for a response from the computer. He was very curious of how the nanites are communicating and what might be involved in their communication. He thought this might be a way to monitor how they interact and how they might behave based on different or more advanced creatures, such as the way they acted in the cow vs how they acted in the wolves. It seems depending on the instinks of the creature, effect the way the nanites response, at least from what had been observed.

T’Mor raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of curiosity,

“Are you suggesting their communication could be complex enough that it can be translated?”

Similar attempts have been made with botanical lifeforms before. In her research, such attempts were often unsuccessful, except in the extremely rare cases of otherwise obviously sapient lifeforms. But these were something different, so perhaps it could work.
