Rex nodded thoughtfully. Silently, he went through a bit of a mental tangent where he tried to justify the existence of nanites in 1982 through minor tweaks to the timeline, though while he thought it possible he didn't bother thinking too hard about it. Instead he brought a hand up to his chest, closed his eyes, and checked his own nanites.
There was the familiar greeting of his homeworld's nanites, the watchful presence of the Tranquility's, and, now that he was looking for it, that same foreign aggressor he'd encountered in Remus. "That's not good," he clicked his tongue.
"When I first got here, there was only one strain of nanites present on this ship. Now there's extra strain," he informed William upon his return. "The ship's nanites seem to have set functions and even though they won't tell me what those functions are, I'm not too worried about them. These outliers, though. They're multiplying like a virus." It didn't occur to him that discussing this in front of a patient might not be the best course of action. As an after thought, he added, "At least in me and Remus."
