I11DT - Material Science

[Sara Stanton]

"You can try, but from what I could tell they replicate themselves to off-set his increase in mass when he shifts."

[Deirdre Quinn]

"Which is why I doubt I can get all of them, but it's worth a try to calm this area down."

[Sara Stanton]

"Go ahead then, I suppose..." she says, though she looks to Will to make the final call after how the thing with the MRI had ended.

[Will Stanton]

"Go on, then, if you think it will help."

[Deirdre Quinn]

She put her hands in the affected area and tried to focus on the nanites in just that area, aiming to wrench them into non-functioning shapes.

[Will Stanton]

The nanites in the effected area fired a brief blast of electricity -- which certainly smarted! -- before succoming to Dee's power, and shorting out entirely, as Will regained control over his hand -- and quickly firmed it up again.

However, nanites further up in Will's wrist started activating, as well...

[Deirdre Quinn]

"Well, that riled them up a bit. Let's hope they settle..."

[Will Stanton]

"Yeah...yeah that would be...nice."

[Deirdre Quinn]

"I'm not going to manipulate them again so soon. How does that feel?"

[Will Stanton]

Will experimentally shifted his hand into iron, and back again.

"Better, actually...seems to be back under control."

[Deirdre Quinn]

"Going to be tricky to do much more with them unless we can find a signal to keep them dormant while I work on them."

[Will Stanton]

"Bastards," Will muttered, under his breath.

[Sara Stanton]

"There has to be something they programmed in to disable them temporarily."

[Deirdre Quinn]

"Trick is going to be finding that without stumbling on a failsafe."

[Will Stanton]

"That doesn't seem particularly...safe."

[Sara Stanton]

"Unless we just take a sample. Keep it somewhere where it can't exchange any signals with the rest of you."

[Deirdre Quinn]

"Seems to be the way to crack it. From what you said, they weren't keeping all of him together either, so the nanites wouldn't know the difference."

[Will Stanton]

Will nodded. "They had me in some kind of...encasement. Thing."
