  ***ANAD steering to commanded heading…Hub, what effector setting?...I’m having quite a battle just maneuvering through this slop***

  Winger thought. “Bond disrupters full charge…pyridine probes out when I give the word, carbene grabbers too.”

  Inside of a minute, the rapidly growing ANAD swarm had slashed its way through the melee and was riding along the optic nerve, a direct highway into Deeno’s brain.

  Time to go small, he told himself. He set the view on his wristpad, took a hack from ANAD’s sounding and closed his own eyes, kneeling beside the bed so he wouldn’t fall over.
