Basic Information
The Grey Goo Scenario is one of many terrifying possible doomsday events that have been 'predicted' by science fiction authors over the years. It concerns the mistaken unleashing of badly-programmed or damaged self-replicating nanites which then run amok, stripping the entire world down to a greyisg morass of constantly re-replicating nanites.
Unfortunately... It stopped being science fiction when it happened in Las Vegas, Nevada when the Promethean Nanites were released. Vegas is dead, and few survived to tell the tale.
