I can see it now: just get the enemy to breathe in a cloud of nanobots, or have the bots enter their body through an open cut that they make, and the enemy’s body is yours: no violence needed.
We live in a terrifying time because there’s just no way to dodge this sort of stuff unless you have the EMP tech, since a Hazmat suit is unsustainable to don long-term.
Wait until you hear about viruses or prions. Truly terrifying nanobots. Worst of all, they already exist. Those things are out there right now.
Prions are absolutely wild. There is no cure, no “vaccine” - not that that would even be possible because they’re not viruses, bacteria, or even living things from outside your body. They’re just a faulty version of something that already exists in your system and they make your body self-destruct.
There is CURRENTLY no cure. Nature is working on it.
Good read. Thanks for the link!
Prime horror movie material.
You trust your body. You trust your mind. But what if the enemy… is already inside you?
They’re not viruses. They’re not bacteria. They’re your own proteins… twisted. Hungry.
They hide in the folds of your brain. They wait in the silence of your cells. And when they strike… you won’t even know you’re already lost.
PRIONS
COMING TO AN ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM NEAR YOU
Congratulations. I am now terrified of my own brain.
New fear unlocked.
If a plausible zombie virus were to exist, it would definitely be those long-incubating stuff
Prions™: not a virus
