4->''It's easy. Nanomachines are like magic fairy dust. Once you realize just how very much story can be replaced by a simple drop of the word "nanomachines", it's easy to see why a science-fiction author would rely on it for all those tricky logistical questions.

23->This is an artifact of nanotechnology, a science of small things. These are assemblers: Powerful, computerized engines, each just a dusting of atoms wide. One alone can begin building an object from nothing up, one atom at a time. Millions of assemblers could sit unnoticed in the crevices of your hands. Billions of them could build a plane from the ruins of a tank and a few handfuls of dirt within hours. The untold trillions in the Adaptive Cruiser's creation reactor will create new weapons and vehicles from what the scavengers bring back... within seconds.
