Nanite Control

About fifteen years ago a brilliant scientist unleashed his Nanites on the world. This was of course a great concern to the world’s many governments. The nanites spread themselves across the globe infecting virtually every person on the planet at such a rapid and alarming pace that there was no stopping them. Tracked to the source, the scientist was killed before they could him to deactivate them, and in the process locked them out of his command system forever.

However… soon enough the concern turned to glee as the newly infected hosts began to benefit from the Nanite intervention. Bodies became healthier, on a basic level altered. Gone were the epidemics of obesity. Even the signs of aging were removed, although it was found that people could still die. Society’s citizens found themselves living longer healthier lives. A more sinister problem emerged. The Nanites automatically adjusted the fertility rate of the population down in order to compensate for the longer lives of their hosts, but too much. With nobody to make adjustments to the algorithm the number of births is soon eclipsed by the number of deaths- a serious problem, but one our hero will surely be able to solve.

Our protagonist gains access to the Nanite command system. They can make changes to either themself or, in time, anybody touched by the Nanite technology. The changes can be either physical or mental, but trend towards the physical, and mental changes need to have some underlying biological mechanism that can be adjusted.

I made this a stand alone story, due to popular demand. Previously it was a single branch in Sexual Privilege, but I feel it has more than enough potential for a stand alone. I made this one public for a reason! Please feel free to add to it!
