"...All I can say is that you really fucked up. I'm just glad that didn't happen to either Surge or I. Then again, my organic portion was turned into a robot prior to assimilation, so technically I didn't assimilate organic matter to get this way. Nor did Surge, he was straight-up converted to a nanomass and then assimilated by his Ateros. I assume, at least. He is fully composed of Ateros nanites now, instead of the previous, less-advanced nanites."
Anyways... YQu said AterQs multiple times nQw... What's that?

"It's what Surge and I are. Sentient nanomasses, capable of altering our body shape to our will, assimilating technology, and...well, being sentient. We bond to a "host", usually, and that is before sentience develops. I, uh, was my first host. Then I accidentally assimilated myself, like I said before. Then I didn't have one, and now I have a new one. Hosts and Ateros share a telepathic link, which usually allows the Host to command nonsentient Ateros to do whatever. Sentient ones use it to communicate and stuff."

"Depends. If there's a lot of nanomass, then the two halves are still controlled by one mind and then put back together. If a small portion is removed, then it just collapses and has to be manually reabsorbed."

Umbra slaps Wurg on the back with his free hand- gentle so it doesn't really sting, but it still would be a sensation of pain.

"Ow." Umbra then shoots a sly look at Wurg and brings his frozen arm down on her, hoping for a solid impact that wouldn't hurt, given the reaction he received.
