  ***General, the entity is a formation of nanobotic elements, density greater than 10exp15 elements per cubic centimeter…such density has never been encountered before by this system. I don’t see how normal operations are even possible at that level of concentration…perhaps you could grab a few elements for analysis?***

  Winger almost laughed at that. “Not bloody likely, Doc…not in that inferno. It keeps expanding…I think maybe Metcalf was right…we should just back the hell out of here and seal off this cave with MOBnet.”
