We have attempted to destroy them, but our torpedoes only made the swarm larger, an EMP burst only slowed them for a few moments and a software "back door" shutdown failed. We made communications contact with them and found them to have the most basic of needs, eating and surviving. Our last hope is to reprogram some of our own nanites and introduce them into the swarm. =/\= END USS MANTICORE BRIEFING #773, STARDATE 51308.19 =/\=
