Panoptus nanoparticles

Panoptus nanoparticles are a cutting-edge use of nanotechnology developed for the British Deep Black, enabling them to establish surveillance in the most difficult of locations, and turn unwilling persons into moles without their knowledge. Known with the NSS as Nano-scale Assembling Biological Surveillance (NABS), they are more commonly referred to as Panoptus nanoparticles by their inventor, Dr Victor Petrushev.

The nanoparticles are designed to be injected in targets by Red Listed operatives from the Deep Black, upon which point they enter the bloodstream, and cross the blood-brain barrier, before self-assembling on the optic and auditory nerves and tapping into the electrical signals. Upon construction, they draw power from thermoelectric conversion, thus only a live target emitting body heat can be used; without this heat, they lose power and disintegrate into the bloodstream. This was designed in order to keep their existence a secret and prevent them from being detected during autopsies.

After converting the tapped audiovisual signals from nerves into a readable format, they then transmit this data in microsecond pulses to an available Argus-class satellite to be transferred to the NSS back in Britain.
