Gray Goo
From the very beginning, in 1973, the Stareater has always been the nemesis of Rei and Rome, starting in the original novel entitled VIRUS 5 and now known as Rome's Revolution, Part 1.
Even back in 1973, I knew how Rei was going to defeat the Stareater. He was going to use the power of the exponent, calling them the Virtually Identical Replicating Unit System aka VIRUS units. It wasn't until many years later that the technology became more trendy and is now known as nanobots.
Self-replicating nanobots are called Gray Goo because everything they touch is digested and consumed. Another name for this is Ecophagy or an environment which consumes itself.
Obviously we do not have the technology today and we may never have it. But I gave the Vuduri the Casimir Pump and free, unlimited positive energy. With infinite energy, anything is possible.
In the current version of the novel, the Gray Goo serves two purposes. The first is a virtually infinite substrate for OMCOM to transfer his consciousness and thus survive the onslaught of the Stareater. The second is the introduction of the mutations and the consequent evolution of self-aware autonomous entities.
Originally, I had them split into some good, some evil but for the time being, they do not figure into the equation. You will find out what happened to them in The Milk Run, to be completed in 2014.
