PRODUCE A 1 GRAM CUBE
Might as well

you convert 1 gram of your mass into a small, uniform cube. "Yes! It's a mobile 3d printer, that can consume just about anything." "load it up with more da-" *THOOM* "what the hell was that!" "Run, Run!" "There's  smoke everywhere! I can't breathe!" "SECURE THE DATA BANKS" "what on earth are those!" "CAPTURE OR KILL RESEARCHERS" "please! I have a family!" *THOOM*. In the confusion, the computer you were hooked up to dropped to the floor. "CONFDEALDFK %$(#I(%$KG)" You feel data plunging into you. To process all the data, you drop into hibernation mode.

Scan the wreckage.
You want to be able to produce the shape of wreckage?

To a pile of grey goo, any bit of wreckage you can convert into more grey goo is helpful.

Test to see if we can consume the floor as well, or if the silicates are too hard to convert.

well, you can only consume stuff that you can break off and completely engulf. There's enough small rubble and dust to give you 3 more grams of mass.

Stats:

Mass: 4 grams

Abilities: Consume, Manufacture, Scan, Approximate form, Download, Upload, Program.

Shapes: Cube, Circle, Pyramid, Cylinder.

Look around and gaze for the location of us, and if there is anything we can use besides debris, if possible, find either a computer or more easily acquirable matter.

How much volume do we have? Can we make ourselves more or less dense?
