Pancakes

Created centuries ago under the moniker of "ROTAN", this project was a collaboration between Roania and the Resi Corporation. "Pancakes" was recently chosen as a non-descript codename for the weapon.

The "pancakes" are baseball-sized bombs with no metal parts, each with a remote detonator. These bombs contain a nanodisease the likes of which the world has never seen. The nanomachines within this disease spread rapidly through the air, and take the guise of lymph cells. They enter the body through contact with skin, food, water, or air and move through the subject's lymphic system to all ends of their bodies. Their objective is to replicate themselves by tearing apart nerve cells and using their components to build new nanomachines. This either leaves the subject braindead, actually dead, or in a best-case scenario in an unbreakable coma within two hours of infection. Upon achieving the desired result, the nanomachines self-destruct themselves into the base proteans they're made of, dissapearing without a trace into the blood stream. One tiny bomb can blanket a large city area (taking one to two days to kill all who haven't been evactuated), and they do not set off metal detectors. The newer versions are even covered with a synthetic grapefruit skin for further disguise.

The Pancakes have never been sold on the open market, but have been a part of auctions not officially affiliated with the Resi Corporation.
