"I'll check."

No takes a look at the corpses from afar, checking to see if the nanobots are magical, or if there's anything magical about the corpses.

"Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's a mix. He gestures to Resalth. "He might actually know more than I do. Either way I'm glad that it's keeping the nanites at bay, our internal self-defense systems are nowhere near as sophisticated as the- uh. I'm sorry I forgot the name of your race."

There doesn't seem to be anything magical about the corpses, which as the others said are full of nanobots. Titus, however, seems to be wrapped in tightly woven enchantment, his armor humming with considerable magic. And mechanically regulated, too. That must have taken some doing.

"Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's a mix. He gestures to Resalth. "He might actually know more than I do.

"KX-9. We're... justifiably paranoid about such things."

"Begrudgingly, I'll admit we were never able to capture a complete example of the human's Centurion armor. We thought it crude that they would thread arcanum through machina, but the result is, in some senses, rather effective. Though I would attribute that more towards conventional enchantment and engineering than the digital thuamic components."

"...If it's the magic, I can probably replicate it to destroy nanites, but I don't know how power-hungry that would be..."

Rajita stares at the corpses, looking disgusted.
"Oh....they're there. Well, that is just perfect."
She immediately turns her head in shock.

Titus turns to Avi. "Don't."

He glances around as he continues moving, looking for signs of any other dangers in the area and notices Rajita staring at the corpses.

"Someone should check on Rajita, she's showing signs of mental distress."

"Wait, you embedded copy-protection in your enchantments?  That's so cool!  Uhh...Anyway, burn nanites with fire?  Maybe?  That would probably work...They're really tiny and easy to melt, right?"

"Hey, you sure you okay? Um, you said you were from India right?"

"Wait, you embedded copy-protection in your enchantments?  That's so cool!  Uhh...Anyway, burn nanites with fire?  Maybe?  That would probably work...They're really tiny and easy to melt, right?"

"We're still reviewing our spectroscopic data. Not sure what they're made of. However, those energy balls seem to have been effective. Also that incendiary attack Resalth used"

"I'll need to take a bit of rest before I can breathe my fire again. My offensive spells won't burn quite as well."

"Can you even find them? I'm seriously asking, because I haven't been able to pick them up until they try to infest."

(Also)

No backs away from the corpses, making essences as he goes.

The aether, laden with all the hints of a warzone, matches your affinity well and you find it easy to form essences from.

Avi searches for anomalous energy signatures.  Like, random electricity or bundles of chemical or kinetic energy that aren't where they're supposed to be.

If it's anything you could detect, it must be too small.
