Some facilities employ permanent cleaner swarms to keep their area spotless. Cleaners are especially useful for decontaminating an area of hazardous toxins or chemicals. Covert operatives and criminals use cleaners to eliminate potential forensic evidence, such as blood, hair, or anything that could be DNA-typed.</p>",

    "description": "<p>Also known as smart corrosives, these nanobots break down matter. They can be programmed to take apart specific materials while ignoring others, leaving them intact. They are sometimes used as an anti-matériel weapon, eating away at synthmorphs, weapons, and gear while ignoring biomorphs (or vice versa). Upon contact, disassemblers inflict DV 1d6 per action turn. Accumulated damage counts as a wound when your Wound Threshold is reached. Worn armor (both energy and kinetic) protects against this damage (unless the swarm is programmed to ignore it), but is also eaten away; reduce the AV by the damage inflicted, splitting it between armor types (i.e., a disassembler inflicting DV 2 turns AV 4/2 into 3/1).</p>",

They must be programmed with the item’s nanofabrication blueprints or given time (~an hour) to scan an identical object; they are not smart enough to recognize and repair damage on their own. A fixer swarm repairs 1d10 [6] damage per hour. Once all damage is repaired, it will restore 1 wound per day. Fixers also clean and polish items, returning them to a new, pristine state. Fixer swarms cannot effect repairs on objects with more than 3 wounds, but they will apply a +30 modifier to Hardware Tests for repair.</p>",

This war of attrition takes its toll on the guardian swarm as well. Every action turn, both the guardian and targeted swarm take DV 1d10 [6]. Guardians can be programmed or instructed to release captured mites, allowing you to temporarily disable a swarm and then release it afterwards.</p>",

The proteans must be able to scavenge appropriate raw materials (for example, to create a metallic device the nanobots must transform something else made of metal), whether by specific or indiscriminate targeting of their surroundings. Assembly time is based upon complexity, just like regular nanofabrication. The specific blueprint they follow must be specified when the swarm is acquired.</p>",

Pusher swarms can be programmed to seek out specific people, biomorphs or animals of a certain type, or all living things. A biological target who comes into contact with a pusher swarm is automatically exposed to the effect of the carried drug or toxin. Pushers cannot penetrate vacsuits, but they can linger on the exterior long enough to target the occupant when they remove it. Each swarm carries enough to affect 5 targets.</p>",

Once an object is exposed, the saboteurs have a 50% chance of inflicting a wound (and the equivalent DV) every (Wound Threshold) action turns. This will continue until the target has suffered 5 wounds and is incapacitated. Armor has no effect, but the wounds can be repaired as normal. Saboteurs cannot sabotage other nanoswarms.</p>",

Some high-security facilities deploy taggants at their egress points when alarms are triggered to mark intruders.</p>",
