=/\= We have them isolate in our science labs, what do you have on your end Lieutenant?=/\= Calin replied.

“What are Nanites?” asked the voice.

“A nanites are little robotic type thingys,” Kate said bringing up her fingers and making a tiny space between them.

“They are nano machines… not little robotic type thingies…” Ean said as he looked at her cock eyed. Why she was in charge he wasn’t sure, Laura was XO and he has been Assistant Chief for before she came in, but Captain Calin wanted fresh meat here to take a stab at this.

“Okay so they are Nano machines,” Kate tried not to role her eyes. Engineering types were always the same. The perseverance on exact details got annoying. “Which if you don’t know what a machine is since you are not familiar with our language it is like this,” Kate touched a large computer bank to her right, “only tiny. They do everything a big machine does only on a microscopic scale. Build structures, treat medical conditions, you know fix things or destroy them by wreaking plagues, creating computer viruses that trap you in a hallway and a simple Hello Hal spells your demise,” Kate added silently to herself. She wasn’t going to tell the possible evil overlord that nugget at least until she had a quilt comeback about sticking them up it’s exhaust port if the situation called for it

“On a nano scale, nano is a term of measurement, so is micro, nano is smaller than micro. I think it understands basic math terms!” Ean said as he threw his hands in the air. “Listening to you butcher technology is about as bad as trying to watch my mother explain how subspace calls work. Didn’t you learn anything in the Academy. I’m sorry she doesn’t speak for us all some of us have basic communication skills and understanding.” Ean said, knowing he crossed a line he looked from Katie, to Laura, to the CSO and felt lost for words. In four a pound as they say… “Just… maybe I should be the one describing these things ma’am.”
