Healing nanites exist in the Solar
Echoes universe, but they may soon be part of reality. Nanites are
being designed that would assist white blood cells in the repair of
tissue cells. Nanites could attach themselves to the surface of
recruited white cells and squeeze through the walls of blood vessels
to arrive at an injury site. Nanites could even carry certain
substances that could help accelerate recovery from an injury. In
Solar Echoes, healing nanites are administered through an injection,
and will allow the recipient to improve his injury status by one
condition level. For instance, if a character is “Seriously
Wounded,” his condition will improve to “Moderately Wounded,”
which would incur smaller wound penalties than before. Some research
today even indicates that cell regeneration might be possible in the
future through nanite usage, which is reflected in Solar
Echoes—regenerating nanites continue to work until all wound
conditions are repaired (though effectively administering these
nanites requires a very high level Biotech-check.)
