His package came in the mail today. Just this canister, an instruction manual and a note from him.

Son,

Happy birthday!

There comes a time in every young man's life when he has to indulge a dangerous hobby like motorbikes or molecular assemblers.

Make me proud.

I'm
DAD


The manual's about the size of a phonebook. I'm not reading that.

What should I do?

No.

>Open it and flush it down the toilet. It well then become an urban legend... That is real.
I'll do the first thing, but save the second for later if it's boring.

I pop the lid and I dump the nanomachines on the big dumb book. They're just sitting there.

>Don't be an idiot and read that manual!
Have you seen the size of that thing? I'm getting wrist strain just looking at it.

>Inject that stuff into you.

I don't have any needles or anything. I can pop out to the shops and grab some?

I try rubbing it on my skin. Some sticks to my finger. Nothing.

I jump on the computer and I download a thing that is probably it, maybe. That site was pretty dodgy. I hope I don't get a virus.

I try 'nanomahcines geting started'. Internet says there's a little clicker thing in the cap. That signals it should start responding to voice commands.

The mystery of the unknown? Look, I spend enough time reading awful documents at work. No-one ever learned anything from reading these sorts of books. Need to get hands on. Poke things! Jiggle them around.

>open that manual to see if there's a list of commands in the glossary.

OK, fine, I'll give it a try. I need something to get started. Let's see, C, commands, voice. Flipping pages, go.

VOICE COMMANDS
Several preset voice commands are available. Speak clearly and with direct intention. If at first nano does not do, do not crescendo!!! This will not help you. Speak again calmly and with clear intent.

Now nano is out of the box, you can begin your journey of excitement. Press clicker and nano will recognise you are master. Nanos know names of many kinds of things and obey you with the following special words:

Sit: Bend the back legs. Adopt the position in which body is close to the ground.

Come: Being the vicinity of myself, little pet!

Shake: A charming introduction. Extend of paw.

Speak: Bark bark, a melodic sound! You think you are a human.

Dance: Joyful dog, you wiggle at the party.

eAT: Tell nano that you wish of a thing to be absorb.

sAVE: This shape you have nano is one to be remembered.

fORM: Be of the shape you remember.

Nano is small but wise. These command can be use with close words. Try and see.

I think half of these commands were stolen from one of those robot dogs. Maybe the whole voice code was and they just slapped in some extras.

>Oh i get it. Needs more mass so it can have more processing power
That seems to make sense. I mean, a dog is smarter than a bug, I'm smarter than a dog and I guess whales are smarter than me?

>Try plugging your monitor into the goo. Maybe it can interface, and you'll get a terminal?
The screen flickers for a moment then turns black with a single text message.

[default]# Foreign object detected! Absorb? y/N

>If that works, plug in keyboard and mouse so you can start figuring out how to do something more useful with it.
Hmm, I plug the keyboard in.

[default]# Foreign object detected! Absorb? y/N

Two of those now. I tap space and get an empty command prompt.

>Put in a couple screws. Tell it to eat them.
I pop in a screw and the foreign object message appears again. Just to be safe I unplug the monitor and hit y, enter.

The screw bobs up and down and turns silvery. Huh, neat.

"Eat screws."

It blobs over and engulfs the remaining three. I have created a weird balding hedgehog. Haha, this is neat.

It's still moving slowly so I pick it up again.

>Mold it like silly putty into a little clay figure.
I have created TINY DOPEY POTATO HEAD MAN. It even stands up for a few seconds if I prop it up against something

>You need to feed it raw materials so it can grow! Look up what grey goo eats (besides everything)
I'm not trying that manual again. I plug my monitor and keyboard back into the computer. My search-fu is strong, I believe in it.

OK. I've had to wade through a few false leads but these pokey weird sites suggest that they do best with a 50-50 mix of metal and organic stuff? Some silicon too. Learns features off stuff it's absorbed. Cool.

>Give it some chair legs, let it grow to a nice melon size and try again
I only have the one chair here. I needed to go to the shops anyway so I'll go out and buy some cheap electronic junk. Got a little cash to spare. Maybe grab stuff like that syringe and tazer too? Anything I should try before I go, or add to the list?

No more rushing outside with a bag of trash on a cold and early morning as the garbage truck comes up the street! Thank you, nanomachines.

>You recycle, right? Dump the recycling out and tell it to eat it. It's a mix of metals, paper, and plastics, and the ratio should be about right.
Huh, good point.

>Feed it the manual.
But I've got to feed it this trash first.

I pop it back on top of the manual and say the magic words. "Nanomachines: eat that."

'That' works. Good to know.

>Think it could learn some words if you wrote something on a piece of paper and let it eat it? I doubt it but hell it's not like it would hurt anything.
Now I'll find out. Look at that little guy go... this could take a while. I'll go to the shops now.

>What if his dad wants to see the manual later? Better keep it.
If he asks I'll tell him it was stolen by book thieves.

I grab some shopping bags and look outside. It's snowing lightly, kinda gusty. Will be freezing. Jacket, gloves, scarf, beanie, go.

>Be sure to tell it to stay and/or sleep before you leave.
Oh! I check on it. It's gotten through the cover but there's a lot of book to go. "Stay." I tell it.

Is that even a command? Ah well. It's not like it absorbed anything I poked it with until I told it to.

The local shop's this weird little mashup or a convenience store, a second hand store and a compact warehouse. I bet the owner's up to something shady but its just up the street and really cheap. It was closed for the last few months for, uh, reasons and just reopened this week. A brisk walk gets me there without too much numbness in my nose or fingers.

Inside it's pretty still pretty cold. There's a girl at the counter. Haven't seen her before. She looks bored out of her skull. Must be a slow day.

>Stick your dick in it
Woah! Bad thoughts!

I don't recognise the layout at all, so I go over to the counter. She looks up as I walk over.

"No."

"What?"

"What you're looking for. You can't have it."

"I- what?!"

She chuckles "Just messing with you. You need help finding something?"

Uh, what am I going to buy?

"This look like a junk yard to you?"

>Stick your dick in her
The flesh is weak and fearful.

Be brave! "I know you have a lot of second hand stuff. Anything that hasn't been tested or anything that's gotten broken and needs to be returned, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. It's for a project of mine."

"Starving artist, are you?"

>Ask her if she's interested in nanomachines.

"Nanomachines, huh?"

"Yeah, nanomachines. Microscopic robots."

"Are you hoping the nanomachines will be small enough to find-"

"No!" I think she's enjoying this. "They can, uh, I'm still finding out. The instructions were written by gibberians and translated by idiots. You know, it's all just re-arranging stuff at a tiny scale, but they can do a lot. They can eat stuff to make more nanomachines, they can link together in a lot of different ways, they can build other stuff, and they can be used for medicine which means they can basically give people super powers."

"OK, that's kind of cool. So are you planning to give yourself a bigger-"

"No!"

"I wouldn't judge you. Much." She taps her chest. "What about enhancing kn-"

"No! Well, yes, but no!"

"Wow, rude." She grins. "Yeah, there's some junk I was just going to throw out. Guess you can have it."

"Thanks."

"No, ten dollars."

"OK, that's fair." This isn't a battle I can win. "Could you help me find some other stuff?"

She shows me through the aisles. Thankfully I don't seem to have screwed up completely.

>Ask her for figurine molds.
>Life-sized.
There's no way I'd be able to haul those home.

>Buy action figures, a watch, a cheap little tablet, headphones, some candy bars, and a grappling hook gun.
Tablets are out of my price range. It's a long shot but I ask about the grappling hook gun.

"Here, got you something just as good."

She gives me a little spring loaded plastic dart launcher toy. Eh, it'll do.

Got the rest. Headphones, chocolate, digital watch, some of those weird little knockoff action figures that come in plastic bags.

>Purchase some chips, can't go wrong with a bag of potato chips.
Snacks, good plan.

>Buy a remote-control car. Have the nanoswarm turn into a form that can move around quickly. Tell the nanoswarm to chase the car, then drive it around, it'll be great.
They've got a little cheap one. It needs a lot of batteries but I've got plenty at home.

>Oh, and a ball! Play fetch with the thing.

Let's see, little alarm clock, a calculator, little tamagotchi thing, speaker. That'll do.

>Don't forget to buy something to eat or something for yourself. Do you even have food at home?
Uh, pantry's kinda low but I've only got two hands and two bags to carry stuff in so I'll just grab some instant noodles for now. I can do a proper shop tomorrow.

The girl grabs some stuff out of the back. Tiny CRT TV and some other bits and pieces. I'll have a proper look through the goodies when I get home.

"Thanks for your help." I tell the shop girl when she rings it up for me.

"Eh, they pay me to do it. Keep me posted on your weird goo, hey?"

Just saying, if this stuff brakes matter down and then reforges it as more gray goo it's probably better to not see if it can do the same to a full grown human being. But yeah Maybe wait a bit? I mean if you hand starts to actually disappear then we can start to worry... well really worry I mean.

Nothing in there. Well, OK there's a bit of stuff in there but no blobs.

Right, right, I've got time. I'm a human, I'm smart, right? I can get out of this. I pace and then I see it.

Wait... That's why the drawer handles are on the floor. It ate the screws holding them in. You gave it the "eat screws" command without a limit and it's been going around the house eating whatever similar screws it can find. You're lucky it didn't eat the screws in your computer first. What other commands did you give it that might have no limits? ...Dammit, it might have been eating structural screws from the house, or at least from your furniture. Better check your chair isn't going to fall apart before you sit on it next.

Stand over by your desk and give the "come" command so it'll be near the monitor and keyboard so you can plug them in. Once it's in position give it the "sit" command; That'll hopefully keep it from moving or doing any other commands. Plug in the keyboard and monitor into it and try typing in "stop," "halt," "command help" or "help command." Maybe try plugging the cables into the goo on your hand, but there's probably not enough to do so.

Try telling it to "stop eating" or "eat nothing" or "cancel all commands" to get it to stop it's eating command.

The nanogoo on your hand probably doesn't have enough nanomachines in its colony to be able to process your verbal commands. You could try pressing your goo'd finger to the main mass of nanogoo so it connects to it and tell it to "go away" or "go over there" and it may take the nanogoo from your hand with it.

There's also the option to give it the command "eat nanomachines" to get the goo off your hand. That would probably also put it into a loop of eating itself as well that you might not be able to get it out of. Consider that a possible killswitch option, perhaps with "eat self" if the first command doesn't work.

Just get a paper towel and wipe off the goo on your hand. Then give the main goo body the paper towel, tell it to eat the towel. Be specific with your eat commands from now on. It's possible the goo was on your hand because it was curious about the outside world. It hitched a ride!

Also try telling it to speak now that it's bigger. Oh, see if it can transform into the form of the action figure or car.

Uh, so far I haven't tried the computer command prompt and just used voice commands, whihc was just telling it to speak and eat a few things.

I check the underside. Screws are still there. They've got a plastic cover over them, maybe it didn't realise they were there? Computer's still working. Maybe it got the ones out of the drawer and fell on the floor so it decided to keep going?

It's probably reacting to the "fix hand" command. I doubt it's a valid command. Just try wiping off your hand on it. Or see if there are "split" and "merge" commands.

HOWEVER, first try some of the other more reasonable things. Like telling it to sit, or eat something else. Failing that, we might just have to sit tight and hope it's not actually killing you. Or, you know, you could call 911. Yeah, start dialing 911. By the time you're ready to hit "send", it should be a little more apparent whether it's still eating you.

A crackle and pop like a cheap speaker. "...noOo?"

Worth trying! I switch off the heating.

Defenestration it is! Exit, pursued by a blob.

I use the window instead. Also the rest of me accompanies it!

It's started snowing outside! It's freezing! I tell myself not to look back but I do it anyway. The blob pops up at the window for a minute but then flinches back. It doesn't like the cold!

>Test it with a pitcher of ice water. Don't use a sink or anything else that will possibly contaminate the town/state/world water supply. Dip your hand in until its really, really numb, then try to peel it off with something else cold.
I was trapped in my room and there's no sink in there! Agh I don't have my jacket. It's freezing. My right hand's stiffening up. At least I didn't take off my shoes.

We grab a bucket and snow from outside.

"Ugh, that's definitely doing something. Looks like you've got metal gangrene in there. This is gross. People would probably pay you to film something this gross."

"I c-c-can't feel my arm. How long d-d-do I have to keep in here?"

"Until you stop bitching. This bucket's heavy, you don't hear me complaining. Gotta do your elbow too."

That seems to have worked. We lay out some newspaper to grab the bits. Most of the goo turns brittle and flakes off after being chilled and scraping at it gets the rest. My arm looks like it's been scalded and dipilated, but I think we've actually done it.

>Also consider goo can communicate, if it is smarter it can maybe reason that eating you is not ok. Or perhaps it doesn't want to eat you.

>Go huddle by wherever the heater or radiator is in this place. Then maybe see if they sell a jacket or something before risking the cold again.
It's warmer than outside but there's still a bit of a chill in the air in here. I don't know how shopkeep's going around in short sleeves. I sit down behind the counter and she turns the portable heater on.

"Uh, I spent most of my money before. Any chance you've got a cheap jacket?"

She ducks into the clothes section and comes back with an XXL elderly looking sweater. It smells like moth balls but it's really warm. "On the house. I don't think anyone will ever buy it."

>Warm your hand in your pants
Not in front of her! Jeez!

"Maybe you need to warm up using shared body heat?" she waggles her eyebrows at me.

"At least buy me dinner first."

"Hah!" She ducks into the employee break room (employee closet?). "You've got a choice of 'Super Stuent Random Ramen' or 'Best Kitchen Irish Stew'."

>Meaty soup, need to replace proteins.
"Ah, the soup, thanks."

>Stick your infected arm in a pot of boiling water.
Warm water. I don't want to get burns. "Could you put the kettle on? I don't want to risk getting frostbite after all this.

A few minutes later the girl comes out with the stew in a chipped bowl and we water the boiling water down with regular water in another bucket. I sit with the bowl balanced on my lap, eating one handed with my hand in that bucket. It must look ridiculous but ah the warmth is so good.

>Thank you. When I called 911 they just hung up on me. I can't really go back home with that thing trying to eat the world.

"Eh, no skin off my nose. And yeah it's been pretty bad since they outsourced it."

I feel a little less like I might actually die.

>Is the goo still alive in the bucket? Does it respond to commands? (Safe ones, like speak and 'don't kill me.')

I swallow another mouthful. "Hey goo." I say to the pile of goo scrapings. "Sorry for freezing you but you just grow up to be, like, too harsh, you know?"

>Also get a good look at your hand.
It's pink and kind of gross looking instead of silver. Peeling a little. The goo must have just eaten the surface layer of my skin?

"Hey goo." the shop girl says, leaning on the counter. "Would you settle for just a really good screw instead?"

"Pffft!"

>Nooooo. Look at all that progress you undid. The goo is gonna have to start all over converting you. How inconsiderate.
"Hey goo. Sorry for playing hard to get."

"Why'd you even tell it to turn you into some kind of immortal nanomachine goo girl. Is that your fetish?"

"Look, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was just throwing science at the wall and seeing what stuck."

She sticks her tongue out at me. "Suuuuuure."

>Tell the nanogoo to save you. That won't mean what you want it to mean, but a destructive upload is preferable to original-recipe death.

"You had a nude bomb the whole time and you didn't use it? You dun messed up, son."

"I know, I know."

>Stick your dick in her. And the bucket.
I am 50% on board with that.

Speaking of time bombs, there's still the mother blob. It was about dog sized last time I saw it. I need to do something about it.

>Call 911 again and explain the situation clearly and calmly, start at the beginning. Don't request anything weird like the military.
I set the empty bowl down. "I think I'd better try 911 again."

A fifteen minute wait and then I get a bored voice. "Please state the nature of your emergency."

"Hi, I need an ambulance and some firefighters. I've got an outbreak of rogue nanomachines."

"You again? I'm reporting this."

No, but you do want to get the goo off your arm, right? Enough exposure to boiling water to cause first-degree burns, which don't usually require hospitalization, would also almost certainly be sufficient to destroy any physically plausible nanoscale machinery. Every living cell has a sort of nanoscale assembler in it. Excessive heat tends to ruin any such tiny machines, much the same way casual use of a sledgehammer ruins macroscopic clockwork, but your flesh has the advantage in terms of cooling because it's more connected to your bloodstream and thus any cold spots in the rest of your body.

You're going to have to reclaim your house eventually. I suspect that if the nanogoo can learn how to use a phone they can learn how to use the thermostat, so you can't just wait for them to freeze. Time to armor up. Look around the shop for things like full face-masks and gloves. Also, if you can find cans of compressed air you could tell the nanogoo to eat them, causing the gas to be released violently inside the nanogoo AND a sharp drop in temperature.

"You think?"

"They didn't say anything and hung up when I gave the talk command. Uh, who phoned you?"

The shop girl shrugs. "Wrong number or something. Didn't say a thing."

>...I wonder if the nanomachines don't like being ordered around anymore.
Oh great, you mean it might not just be trying to eat me because I accidentally told it to, it might now be actively malicious?

"I'm going to have to buy more stuff." I venture. "If it can use a phone, it probably figure out the thermostat. Need to confront it if I'm ever going to get my house back. Let me think. Going to need protective gear to avoid touching the stuff and maybe stuff like compressed air? If I can get it to eat that, it, it might explode when punctured?"

"I gueeeeess it's in my best interests to make sure grey goo doesn't eat my workplace. Going to get in a lot of trouble if I'm caught off playing hooky." She glances at the door. The snow's getting heavier. She shrugs. "Doubt anyone's coming out in this weather though. OK. We'll grab the kit you want, then I'll close up shop."

We start a pattern of she grabs the stuff from the aisle and I sort through it at the counter to see what's going to be sturdy enough and try stuff on to get the fit right for me. Overalls, work gloves, face masks, googles, swimming caps, hairnets, beanies and some cans of compressed air so far.

>You must investigate your house-turned-goo-lair! Shopgirl, you have been recruited for this adventure too, so come along! ...I say, we never did ask your name.
"Well, thanks for coming into the goodra's lair with me, uh... say, I never did ask your name?"

"Haha!" A cry of triumph. She comes back out of one aisle with an axe and a worrying grin.

"Is that safe?"

"It's an axe. It's for chopping things up. It's inherently unsafe."

"I mean, do you know how to use an axe?"

"Runner up in last year's citywide amateur boxing tournament."

That... doesn't answer the question.

The front door jingles

Don't say eat or consume unless you're really ordering it to eat something. Unless it is VERY smart now it will continue to take commands literally. Which means even if you preface "eat" with "don't" it will probably take that as an order to eat anything you name after the "eat".

First off, tell it to eat what it's wearing. If it stops to do so, it will be immediately exposed to the cold. Then you can tell it to eat the compressed air cans. If it actively disobeys, then you might have a chance to convince it to stop trying to kill you...

Tell the shopkeep she might want to turn off the space heater.

Mystery solved.

>"We don't have to worry about looking for it at my house anymore... It just found us."

>Don't get in close and remember it can launch pieces of itself at you as well so you two might want to take cover.
I hunker down behind the counter. Shopkeep's ducked back into the aisles.

>Tell the shopkeep she might want to turn off the space heater.
I unplug the heater.

>Try to look as big as possible, and make a lot of noise. This scares them away.
I think that's bears.

>Try asking it to speak again.
"We can talk this out, right? Say hello."

It pulls down its scarf. "HeLlo." It's slowly walking toward me. Is it a bit cold or is it just trying to stop me from running right away?

>Don't say eat or consume unless you're really ordering it to eat something. Unless it is VERY smart now it will continue to take commands literally. Which means even if you preface "eat" with "don't" it will probably take that as an order to eat anything you name after the "eat".
Noted.

>Oh and if you do try talking to it the only question I can think worth ask is "Why". As in Why is it fucking hunting you down?! The hell did you do to piss it off?!

"A-a-ambiguous QUEry."

>"Why did you follow me?"

"To eaAAat you."

That is pretty unambiguous!

>"If you have gotten smart enough to know how clothes work, can I ask you to stop trying to eat me?" Do not show fear.
"If you've gotten smart enough to figure out clothes, can I ask you to stop trying to do that?"

"yes."

"OK, don't eat me."

"i wIll."

"I just told you not to!!"

"No yoU dIDn'T."

"Stop trying to eat me!!!" That was a few exclamation marks short of not showing fear.

"No."

This isn't working! It's halfway to me.

>Is... is it in the shape of a nanogoo-girl?
Looks kind of girly. I can't see any boobs.

>Well, if it's smart enough to not melt through clothes and call you through the phone, it's probably smart enough to not want to hurt you anymore.

"Eat the clothes you're currently wearing!" It starts squirming but it's started walking towards me again. It's too close! I'll pop up, grab a can and throw it at the door. Then tell it to eat that can.

Can in hand, I toss over the goo's head at the door. "Eat-" It starts screaming. Or humming. It's loud, really loud! "-.... ...!"

I'd suggest you help but it'd just start attacking you. You didn't order it to do anything relating to the shopkeep, so she should be safe. I mean I don't think it can actually eat anything unless you tell it to.

I don't have any stalkers that I know of. It almost feels like the kind of joke Dad would pull on me. That'd be a relief: he could just burst in the door right now. 'Pranked you good, son!' I don't know if I'd laugh, cry or throw up. But this is too far, even for him.

What if it does decide to just eat her then? Most of its restraints are deactivated. It can probably do anything as long as it can justify this as contributing to its goals of eating me and/or screws.

>Try bribing it outright. It only has thirteen dollars, but you can buy ALL the screws. How many screws is your life worth?
"I can get you screws as many screws as you want if you don't kill me."

"I w-w-wannT you."

>Why does she want to eat you so bad?
Because I told her to. I'm going to guess the risk of me getting away really kicked up the priority compared to screws.

>we are a sucker goody two shoes. save shopkeep, embrace the goo.
Yup. I can't justify getting someone else hurt over this. And even if I do get away, it's just going to come back bigger and smarter and meaner, isn't it?

"You win." I say.

>I have no objections to watching you nanomagic her knockers bigger before I have to get eaten. Kind of nice compensation, really.

-------------------------------------

Child of mine,

I am a little disappointed. I know it's hard to hear this but I have always tried to be honest with you. A father spends many years building his repertoire of jokes and funny nicknames for his son. Now, finding myself now with an immortal nanomachine goo daughter, I don't know what to say. It's sad but it's true.

But with every door that closes, a new one opens. It's going to be strange and new and sometimes scary. For me linguistically and for you physically, mentally and emotionally. Don't worry. We're in this together. No matter how much of the planet you devour, you will always be my little girl.

I am so, so proud.

And also,
DAD

PS: Your mother and I had a talk. If you're still into girls or have become some kind of robosexual, that's fine by us. Between you and me though, your mother really wants grandkids. I know you'll figure something out.

>I wonder how else this could have gone.
Well, off the top of my head: Son could have died, he could have impersonated a senator, he could have made the goo into a cute pet, he could have killed the goo, he could have convinced the goo's penultimate form to go out with him, he could have gotten Shopkeep merged with the goo and he maybe even could have figured out how to order it not to eat him.

>Sequel when?
It'd be fun to do a sequel but I'd have to come up with a good plan first. It'd be hard to do this theme of escalation from the effects of multiple choices well a second time. Son's kind of overpowered now!

My immediate plot thoughts were going back to Son's day job, revenge on the internet and 911 guy, trying to get money to replace the stuff the goo ate and something completely silly like battling the eight nanogoo masters.

For info on this pic, I didn't end up using it because the nanogoo's penultimate form was meant to be pretty expressionless!

If I might make a suggestion, I think I'd probably enjoy seeing either
A: Son trying to adapt to her new life as a nanomachine goo girl with his old life as a regular schmuck. Possibly trying to avoid military trouble and/or science types that Dad got the goo from to begin with.
B: Going through Son's revenge against internet guy, from internet guy's perspective.

Both would be A+.
