Thus the type of damage becomes analyzed and therefore the Daodan requires a sensor system.

So, it seems likely to enlist microorganisms for more sensory tasks and abilities which are actually alien to the human. For this reason, the Daodan needs to upgrade the microorganisms' genomes as well. Their totality is called microbiome.

Next, communication between the symbionts has to be ensured. A more or less standardized cell organelle might do the job by using messenger substances. Or it transmits different electromagnetic waves which existence doesn't seem too alien in comparison to the real bioelectric field of each living organism and wound give an explanation attempt of the Daodan glow. (Some metabolic waste products – which are released through the body surface together with perspiration – might become stimulated to glow by the field.)

Depending on the target – human Daodan genome, Daodan microbiome, both their epigenomes, or even organelle genomes (like mitochondrions and plastids have) – a few different “vectors” (e.g. viruses) need to be available to transport the mutation. (To ease further talk one might like to merge the genome names under one term like Daodan metagenome or even shorter daogenome.)

However, it's hard to believe that the Daodan could be able to come up with fitting mutations completely by its own. It seems more likely to me that it draws on “genetic building blocks” holding basis information for fast regeneration, resistances, different metabolisms, and so on.

Muro and Mai got implanted with prototypes, indeed, but after more than 15 years I think the Syndicate accomplished to developed a Daodan allowing its mass production. This second generation would be independent from the host's sex (XX / YX chromosomes) and metagenome's composition by providing level-zero stem cells. These can target any compatible symbiont cell and then do a “configuration” (whereby they dissolve the unnecessary genetic material) to become classic stem cells and microbes.

Ein mehr oder weniger standardisiertes Zellorganell in jeder Daodanzelle könnte vielleicht über Botenstoffe dem Rechnung tragen.

Abhängig vom Ziel – menschliches Daodan-Genom, Daodan-Mikrobiom, ihrer beider Epigenome, oder sogar Organell-Genome (wie Mitochondrien und Plastiden sie haben) – müssen ein paar unterschiedliche „Vektoren“ (unter anderem Viren) verfügbar sein um die Mutation zu transportieren.

Trotzdem ist es schwer zu glauben, dass die Daodan vollkommen alleine im Stande wäre passende Mutationen zu erzeugen. Es ist vielleicht glaubwürdiger, wenn die Daodan auf „genetische Bausteine“ zurückgreift, die Basisinformationen für schnelle Regeneration, Resistenzen, unterschiedliche Stoffwechsel, und so weiter enthalten.

Muro und Mai wurden Prototypen implantiert, richtig, aber nach mehr als 15 Jahren glaube ich, dass das Syndikat es schafft eine Daodan für die Massenproduktion zu entwickeln. Diese zweite Generation würde durch sogenannte Level-Null-Stammzellen unabhängig vom Geschlecht des Wirts und der Zusammensetzung des mikrobischen Metagenoms sein. Diese Zellen würden jede kompatible Symbiontenzelle zum Ziel haben und nach einer „Konfiguration“ (in welcher sie überflüssiges genetisches Material auflösen) zu klassischen Stammzellen und Mikroben werden.

Silver Village's terraforming research seemed provide first results just in time. Green Village got access to this data and assembled their own prototypes which become slowly adapted to fight the Daodan. (This version of nanobots haven't reached yet their final stage of development.)
Related topic: [[#Bioc|bioc]]
 
To give the bots capability for self-awareness they form sensor system and equivalents of neural networks (to create a "body image") whereby some nodes use other artificial ''organs'' (for GPS localization, etc). These notes allow humans  control over the growth of the bot collective.
 
To prevent the Daodan's continuing contamination and reconquering of already cleaned areas the bots needs to cloak all lifeforms at first, analyzing them, and then killing all separated microbial Daodan cells. This event is code named "silver dawn". Most of the bots will destroy themselves after done work. Only the subterranean nodes will remain giving the possibility to repeat the process in case few Daodans survived.
 
The nanobots have many mechanisms borrowed from living systems and one of its macroscopic appearances is a crystal. Hence GV personal nick named it "bioc". <!-- (It can have various meanings: Biocrystal, Biocontrol, Biocracy) -->

Silver Village's Terraforming-Forschung schien brauchbare Resultat gerade rechtzeitig zu liefern. Green Village erhielt Zugang zu diesen Daten und baute seine eigenen Prototypen. Diese werden langsam dahingehen angepasst die Daodan bekämpfen zu können. (Diese Art von Nanobots ist noch immer in der Entwicklung.)
Weiterführende Themen: [[#Bioc|Biok]]
 
Um den Bots Selbstwahrnehmung zu ermöglichen, wurden sie programmiert Sensoren und Äquivalente neuronaler Netze zu bilden. Dabei gibt es einige Knotenpunkte, die über zusätzliche künstliche Organe verfügen (für GPS-Lokalisierung, etc). Die Knoten erlauben den Menschen Kontrolle über das Wachstum des Botkollektivs.
 
Um die fortschreitende Kontamination und die Rückeroberung bereits gesäuberter Gebiete durch die Daodan zu verhindern, müssen die Bots zunächst alles Organismen einhüllen, sie analysieren und die separierten Daodan-Zellen schließlich vernichten. Die meisten Bots werden nach getaner Arbeit zerstört. Nur die Unterirdischen Knoten werden zurückbleiben, als Absicherung den Prozess schnell zu wiederholen falls doch ein paar Daodan-Zellen überlebt haben.
 
Die Nanobots haben viele Mechanismen aus der Natur kopiert, und eins ihrer makroskopischen Erscheinungsformen ist ein Kristall. Darum gaben die GV-Forscher den Bots den Spitznamen "Biok". <!-- Je nach Situation: Biokristall, Biokontrolle, Biokratie) -->

The word symbiosis means "living together". If the outcomes are good or not is an other question. However, in daily life symbiosis means a relationship of mutual gain.

Abbreviation for its nickname ''bio crystal''.

"Bioc" is an abbreviation for its nickname ''bio crystal''. The name was given due to many borrowed mechanisms from living ("bio") systems and one of the prototypes macroscopic appearances is a crystal. <!-- (It can have various meanings: Biocrystal, Biocontrol, Biocracy) -->
 
The bioc is a research project of Silver Village (SV) which is again financed by WCG's Aeronautics and Space Administration (formerly known as NASA). The project involves nanorobots for terraforming other planets.
 
During high peaks of the [[BioCrisis|environmental crisis]] an idea arose to repurpose the bots. They should be used to filter out the toxic substances from the environment of the own planet.
 
After the [[12/3|Big Bang]] WCG politics demanded also its assignment to eliminate genetic material of Daodans in the wild.
 
Originally the bioc should be ASA's tool to find, analyze and eventually manipulate matter as well as extraterrestrial microbial life forms. Now it's going to be WCG last ''instrument'' against toxic air, Daodan threats and Syndicate actions...
 
The biological aspects of the research were outsourced to the sister facility Green Village (GV). A few different versions of bioc prototypes were produced there before the complex became partially destroyed.
 
To allow self-awareness the bots form sensor systems and neural networks (like SLD do) whereby some tactical "nodes" use additional ''organs'' (for GPS localization, etc). These nodes allow humans to control the bot collective. The nodes are created when the bot population reached a critical mass.
 
To prevent the Daodan's continuing contamination and reconquering of already cleaned areas the bots needs to cloak all lifeforms at first, analyzing them, and then killing all separated microbial Daodan cells. This event is code named "silver dawn". It's planed that all bots on and inside of organism will destroyed themselves while the subterranean nodes will remain for sure for economic purposes.
 
However, some are worried that the responsible people will succumb to the tremendous power and let remain the bots inside the organisms especially humans. But just as well hackers could succeed in taking over the system. The WCG will think twice if they want to unleash the bots into the world. Silver Dawn could change everything - to the good or to the bad.

"Biok" ist eine Abkürzung für seinen Nicknamen "Biokristall". Der Name lehnt an Mechanismen der belebten Natur ("bio") an sowie der makroskopischen Gestalten einiger ''Zelltypen" der Prototypen, die wie ein Kristalle aussehen. <!-- Je nach Situation: Biokristall, Biokontrolle, Biokratie) -->
 
Der Biok ist ein Forschungsprojekt von Silver Dawn, einer Einrichtung, die wiederum von der WKR's Aeronautics and Space Administration (ASA), der ehemaligen NASA, finanziert wird. Das Projekt umfasst selbstreplizierende, semi-autonome Nanoroboter für das Terraforming anderer Planeten.
 
Nach wiederkehrenden Rekordwerten der Giftkonzentrationen in der Atmosphäre, Boden und Gewässer kam die Idee auf die Nanoroboter etwas umzufunktionieren. Sie sollten die giftigen Subtanzen aus der Umwelt des eigenen Planeten filtern.
 
Nach dem Big Bang forderten WCG-Politiker auch den Einsatz der Nanobots zur Eliminierung von Daodan-Genmaterial in der freien Wildbahn.
 
Ursprüngliche sollte der Biok ein Werkzeug der ASA sein Materie wie auch extraterrestrisch-mikrobiologisches Leben zu finden, zu analysieren und letztendlich auch zu manipulieren. Nun würde es das letzte ''Mittel'' der WCG gegen toxische Luft, Daodan-DNA, und Syndikat-Aktionen sein...
 
Zur Erschaffung einer Selbstwahrnehmung formen die Bots Sensorsysteme und neuronaler Netzwerke (wie SLD es tun) wobei einige taktischer Knotenpunkte mit weitere ''Organe'' gebildet werden  (z. B. Seismische Ortungssystem und GPS-Receiver). Diese Knoten erlaubt aber auch Kontrolle über das Bot-kollektiv von Seiten des Menschen. Die  Knoten werden erst gebildet wenn eine ''kritische Masse'' im Bot-Kollektiv erreicht wurde.
 
Um zu verhindern, dass die Daodan die Umwelt mit ihrer DNA ''kontaminiert'' oder rückerobert, müssen die Bots alles Lebensformen einschließen, sie analysieren, und dann alle losgelösten mikrobielle Daodan-Zellen. Dem Ereignis wurde der Codename "Silver Dawn" gegeben. Es ist geplant, dass alle Bots, die verschonten Organismen wieder verlassen und insbesondere nur die Unterirdischen Knoten für zukünftige ökonomische und ökologische Zwecke zurückbleiben.
 
Allerdings gibt es einige Befürchtungen, dass die Verantwortlichen der ungeheuren Macht erliegen könnten und die Bots nicht wieder aus den Organismen abziehen. Genauso gut könnten es auch Hacker geben, die das System unter ihre Kontrolle bringen. Die WCG wird sich zweimal überlegen ob sie die Bots wirklich auf die Welt loslassen will. Silver Dawn könnte Alles verändern - zum Gutem wie auch zum Schlechten.

With the obtained data, the mind doesn't need to become ''reinvented'' but analyzed. After the phase of analysis a true artificial intelligence could be designed.

: Another side note: SLD brain engrams involves coping of brain information and that looks very similar to what is called mind uploading. That again is thought to be an approach to AIs. Ergo, in Oni AIs might be near although the Syndicate developed Deadly Brains. DB would be obsolete if AIs would already exist. Or maybe those are much more expensive...

However, the abilities* claimed in the manual could be requirements for the SLD brain/mind to work normally because it simply awaits some body functions.
