In the year 2025 the world forever changed as a major company announced the first ever commercial Nanomachines that were designed to enter a person’s body.
Nanomachines are in layman’s term a machine the size capable of interacting with individual cells.
The original design of the nanomachine was medical, a doctor would inject a person with a certain amount of nanomachines which would enter the bloodstream and travel across the body. They would hunt down a certain sickness, be it cancer, aids or clearing arteries. It cured blindness and hearing loss within hours.
That alone was a medical breakthrough which earned the company wise praise and billions of dollars a year.
Then within a year new model had been made, models which would go into a person’s body and destroy fat cells, make a person physically stronger, faster and other things down to things as small as hair loss. The marketing showed a man who weighed almost 400 pounds dropping down to 140 pounds and ripped like a professional trainer in only 10 days.
Then by 2029 the newest model of nanomachines could go in and change a person’s DNA.
Like before it was originally used to cure genetic diseases before being used to make a person more beautiful. Clearer skin, larger breasts, or dicks, changing hair color and other issues. It was now possible to change a person’s gender outright which was a dream come true for transgender people.
The nano machines where not limited to just being in the human body, it was used to clear up toxic waste and to help heal the planet from the sins of man. Some world governments dumped them into the water to clean up toxic waste and some city governments even used it to make water safe to drink.
In time nano machines would actually remain within a person’s body on standby to heal a person who got injured in an accident or had a heart attack. When news stories about people living through heart attacks and car accidents because they had nano machines within their body.
After years of work almost 80% of humanity had nano machines in their bodies
There were some safeguards, the nanomachines couldn’t make more nanomachines and once programed they would carry out their task and nothing more than that. Safeguards were in place, that any changes couldn’t happen overnight, the bigger the change the longer it took. If a women wanted to change her hair color to a “natural” neon blue that would take two to three days, a full gender change took two to three weeks.
Some actually wanted to use nano machines to make new breads of animals or add animal traits to humans but so far that had not happened. On paper the process was straight forward but so far no one had done it.
It was a breakthrough which forever changed humanity.
One safeguard which was never considered was a massive solar storm.
In 2031 a massive solar storm hit Earth and caused every nanomachine to go haywire and begin to change not only the people they were within but the world around them.
