	The primary theory of the function of the nanites is that their programming is a 'cloud-computer' effect, with the entire swarm communicating constantly with one-another in the globular infection-zone. Thus all of the effects they produce can become standardized over time. However, neither Zephyr nor RSX are terribly forthcoming in information on how the nanites function, nor have they actually revealed how something so far in advance of the state of the art could be developed.

	The game focuses primarily on the cities of [[Fairhaven, California]] and [[Woodfield, Washington State]]. Fairhaven is the headquarters of Zephyr, and RSX has its core in Woodfield. The two cities have had very different but equally disturbing effects from the release- in Fairhaven there are the ‘usual’ [[ferals]] and similar threats, and in Woodfield the nanites acted truly strange, animating the dead and transforming many into living dolls. Other, stranger things are afoot, but that is for another page. (cite magic here)		The game focuses primarily on the cities of [[Fairhaven, California]] and [[Woodfield, Washington State]].

	As are all of the locations affected by the nanites, Fairhaven and Woodfield are englobed in a ‘bubble’ of swarming nanites. These [[nanite bubbles]] were produced from the initial releases, trapping the airborne micromachines inside, while allowing hosted nanites to leave. Within the bubbles, wounds heal quicker, pregnancies span days rather than months and children mature physically within hours of birth; they gain the knowledge of their parents, but lack the maturity and experience of true adults.

	Also within these areas, stranger creatures live. Creatures of living goo, the odd creatures known collectively as the [[Ember Matriarch\|Ember]], and the varied beings transformed to mobile-but-nonbiological forms thrive. Outside of the bubbles, the non-biologicals and the protoplasmic creatures simply cannot exist- they require the nanites to sustain them. Further, birthrates and maturation times approach normal, though they are still accelerated by the nanites within the host.		Also within these areas, stranger creatures live.

	Worst of all was [[Las Vegas]]. Something went even more wrong in the gambling paradise, something that left fewer alive. Known as the [[Grey Goo scenario]], the nanites simply broke down all organic material they came into contact with ~~into~~ more nanites. The fabled desert oasis is now a dead, disturbing blanket of twitching grayish powder and abandoned buildings.		Worst of all was [[Las Vegas]].

	In every city, it seemed that the effects of the nanites were at least partially different from one another. For instance, while [[Fairhaven]] nanites affected the sexuality of those it infected, nanites in some parts of [[Oregon]] caused victims to become incredibly bloodthirsty, and those in [[Detroit]] caused a massive increase in productivity and motivation.

	Of course, multiple investigations were begun, and most are still ongoing. Until recently, RSX and Zephyr each blamed the other for the release, and there are still multiple conspiracy theories as to what really happened. One thing is certain- with so many points of release taking place at the same time, the release was planned and deliberate.		Of course, multiple investigations were begun, and most are still ongoing.
