Robo-plague

Robo-plagues are a class of level 6 A.I.s created by the Nanos. Robo-plagues have become a unique facet in Nanosan society.

Creation and Procreation
All robo-plagues start as a set of schematics, which are then loaded into a special manufacturing and programming device. The device then creates a horde of Hackbots, the first stage in the creation hierarchy of a robo-plague. The Hackbots then use all available materials(including themselves) to create the rest of the plague. If there are no suitable materials, the Hackbots spread out until one find a suitable stockpile.

After the vanguard of the robo-plague is created any remaining Hackbots build a hive in a hidden location. The hive contains mechanical "eggs" which absorb metals and other materials the Hackbots bring them. The eggs eventualy hatch into subclass 2 robots, which then go on to either build subclass 3 robots or defend the hive.
