Log Entry #077: Nanite Dormancy & The Silent Swarm
The fragmented Nanite Sentience (Log #038) that drove the Cybernetic Outbreak has collapsed entirely. In the wake of the Grid's reassembly, the nanites have ceased their hostile, self-modifying behavior. All Cy-brid forms have become inert, frozen in place like grotesque statues.
Analysis suggests the new, stable frequencies of the Grid are incompatible with the nanites' chaotic command structure. The "Stillness Protocol" (Log #070) seems to have pacified them on a fundamental level. The outbreak zones are now silent, filled with the husks of a war that ended without a final battle.
While the immediate threat is neutralized, the nanites remain. They are in a state of deep dormancy, integrated into the very code of the beings they infected. The question remains: is this a permanent solution, or are they merely waiting for a new signal, a new symphony, to reawaken them? For now, the swarm is silent.
