Nanowire went numb at hearing the back and forth between the ones called "Sentinel" and "Vanguard". They were like him - constructed out of nanomachines, but unlike him, they had no static outer layer. All of their component parts were likely held in the semblance of humanoid form by magnetobonding. Either that, or atomic-scale nanobonding. The truest expression of the ultimate form of nanotech.

An opportunity would reveal itself soon enough.
