Autocells

The Autocells are the Artifical Intelligence species. They are cell sized nanobots capable of reprogramming their own programs. A collection of these cells can take almost any form, and large collections usually form a hive mind. Because of their resiliance and versatility in form, Autocell colonies often reside in the vacuum of space.

The Autocells are predicted to have evolved from nanobots developed in a lab somewhere in Zone 21. The entire zone was almost dominated by one of the first Autocell colonies to develop an aggressive core directive. They were once the most pertinent AI threat to the Blobverse, but a hack by Gubu Tech employees prevents the Autocells from reprogramming their core code. Many Autocell factions are still aggressive to organic lifeforms, though they are at a level of threat comparable to space pirates.
