Uber Jason - Absorption 2

Jason went on watching while the nanos informed him wordlessly that the creature was  right; what was left of the woman could be absorbed into its own body and used. In fact, the creature had to do this. It was composed of plain dead tissue that was not imbued with anti-life, and dead tissue did not last very long; it had to be replaced.

When the last of the bloody fragments had disappeared into the creature's body, it raised its head alertly and them immediately went for the portion that Jason had discarded. Jason followed with his eyes, watching as the nanos made the areas of its body seem to ripple and heave and erupt suddenly here and there with a cluster of worm-shaped things that grabbed and flowed into each other again as the new material was taken in.

Then he looked down at himself. The nanos inside him had done the same thing for him with the ammunition the humans had fired at him before he had been captured, immobilized, and given over to that woman, so she could torture him for her own amusement. The extra material had made him stronger yes- but in the end, his being stronger could not overcome the nanos' inherent weakness. In the long run, he would have been better off without them. He had never even needed them before.

The concept of trying to get rid of them, however, was beyond him. They were inside him; he would go on with them inside him. They would hep fix and improve him as necessary.

But he would not submit to their weaknesses any more. Allowing nanos to incorporate dead human meat into his body would not do him any good at all.
