Hello! I loved the previous nanites game and was very sad when it closed. That being said I want to have another and have decided to run it myself since no one else has done it. I am not going to give in-depth stories except when I have time to, which would be during the weekend. This may die, I don't have much time being at university now, but I will try..
I will run this based on polls and will skim through your posts for suggestions or explanations of what you would like to happen. Please bold anything you want me to read.

You come to life with a wurr of electrons moving in your minuscule circuits. You consist of a small chassis and legs for movement. You have tiny manipulators on your front capable of almost any manipulation in its reach. You have basic programming, you can scan, dig, manipulate and access your thought algorithms. You have not explored anything and no nothing of yourself, other then you exist.

With a scan of the surroundings you determine you are sitting on a metallic surface of steel. You are in a tunnel. The surrounding area is covered in dust, the light is low. To the tunnel end it is brighter, to the other it is pitch black. You are not sure what to do, but you feel an urge to replicate..

Dig towards the light and use materials you have most of to upgrade yourself with plate armor along your back.

Activate Scanner [Targeting Surface]{
{Sonic Array [Active]}
{Electromagnetic Resonance [Active]
}=Calculating [Memory Access]
Result [5={iron>>>carbon|-1=Hollow]You begin emanating slight electromagnetic waves into the ground along with low sonic pulses. You record and take a few seconds to compute them. Your finding indicates the ground below you is made of a thin metal, comparing it to your memory chart it is made of carbon steel and below that there is open space as far as your sensors reach.

Code: [Select]

[code]Access [Memory Subroutines]{
{Memory Corruption [Emergency Shutdown Protocol Activated 05:22:45:16]}
}You find your memories highly corrupted. You find your basic data file inside, your designation is R-001. You may re-designate yourself if you wish. Along with the database you find the schematics of yourself, though not exactly like yourself in several ways, mostly just the slight size difference. The required materials to build a R-010 are steel, carbon, and a small amount of silicon/germanium. Your memories before your shutdown are limited..

Using role play is totally awesome, I fully encourage, if its complicated just leave a bold sentence to the side too so I can skim. Continue role playing (: I want this game to move forward so I will probably choose the two most voted for options a turn.

Scan [Dust]{
{Elemental Composition [Dust]}
}
Result [Carbon>>>> Errorr...  Lower Subroutines Active..
{Reassess [Composition] == Extreme amounts may yield any useful material with luck}
}You find that dust is mostly made of carbon based compounds, but with enough harvested and some luck you may aquire almost anything within reason.

Code: [Select]

Access [Memory Database]{
{Found 2 new files [Power][Uplink]}
{Active Uplink..}
Uplink [Empty]
}You discover an old file with partial schematics to some kind of tower which is based off of your own power supply method. You currently use weak electromagnetic fields to trickle charge your systems. With this tower design complete and built you would have more then ample power for your current needs. The uplink! You have found the subroutines to use it! It allows you to communicate with other similar communication techniques. Upon activation you realize their is no respond to your calls into the abyss..

Collect surrounding metal and store then erase memory and set you designation R-10

Sensor Array Alert! [Organic Machine]You are now positioned between two large vertical steel blade/columns. Before you is what to you seems an imperceivable high drop, it is room light level now and your sensors have picked up an organic life form some distance from you. As you traveled you scraped the surface and refined steel as you went, you are now carrying a large stack of steel on your back.

To build more nanites youd need to refine dust into carbon and find some semi conductors, you could probably locate some silicon in the area, being in a place that a nanite has appeared there is probably some in the dust
