->'''Doktor:''' Picture a great number of {{Nanomachines}}, formed into a block. These nanomachines are capable of changing position relative to the others on command. They move how they are instructed, and so the block can take on any number of forms. Imagine clay which you do not alter with your hands. You simply think of a shape, and it becomes that.
->'''Raiden:''' What's the connection, Dok?
->'''Doktor:''' Well, what if you built a human form out of this clay? A form that can freely bend its arms and legs however it pleases? In other words, a completely free-moving nanomachine "body"?
->'''Raiden:''' That's impossible...
->'''Doktor:''' Not impossible, just extremely difficult. I thought it was only theoretical, [[RoboticReveal before now]]. Nanotechonology is not a specialty of mine. But it would follow, with the right implementation... A user could [[InstantArmor adjust the binding force of the nanomachines to armor himself against damage]].

->The scarabs making up [[TheEvilPrince Apophas]]' form scuttle over rubble and through gaps in ruins without impediment. Apophas' body can even burst apart in an explosion of chitinous wings, flying across the battlefield before reforming into the mocking semblance of a man. Apophas sweeps aside those that stand between him and his prey, and when he opens his jaw, [[TheSwarm a tide of insects erupts forth]] to drown his foes. No matter how hard his enemies swipe and hack at his horrifying form, insect bodies flow over to fill open woulds and regrow lost limbs. Apophas is utterly implacable and he will not stop until his victim lies dead at his hand.

->''"In short, if all the matter in the universe except the nematodes were swept away, our world would still be dimly recognizable, and if, as disembodied spirits, we could then investigate it, we should find its mountains, hills, vales, rivers, lakes, and oceans represented by a film of nematodes."''

The location of towns would be decipherable since, for every massing of human beings, there would be a corresponding massing of certain nematodes. Trees would still stand in ghostly rows representing our streets and highways. The location of the various plants and animals would still be decipherable, and, had we sufficient knowledge, in many cases even their species could be determined by an examination of their erstwhile nematode parasites."''
