+The Zenitaf Calamity was a [Gray Goo Event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo) that led to the complete destruction of the planet [[Zenitaf]] and the extinction of the [[Yurigans]], as well as the creation of [[Memento]].
 
 The event was caused during a demonstration of [[Amplicorp]]'s upcoming [[Polyfold Nanites]]  being showcased by [[Isaac Grant]]. Where the nanites suddenly began to deconstruct all nearby matter. Several attempts were made to contain the swarm with [[Hardlight]] and EMP tech. But the nanites were extremely resilient and persistent, eventually overtaking the planet regardless. A few wealthy individuals attempted to escape the planet through spaceships, but most were taken down by the swarm or failed to safely exit atmosphere in the rush.

+  - The Swarm
+---
+Memento, previously referred to as The Swarm, is a nanobot swarm created by a [Gray Goo Event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo) on the alien planet [[Zenitaf]]. In an event referred to as [[The Zenitaf Calamity]], They were born from the collective memories and data of every biological and artificial being on the planet, because the nanites that constitute them were initially programmed to harvest the data of all objects consumed for archival purposes.
+
+### Personality
+Memento is generally benevolent, having the perspective of billions of sentient beings and in theory being able to understand a wide array of conflicting perspectives, but in practice, this can make them slightly distant from the true nuance of issues, usually seeing solutions that rely on everyone getting along, when that is a variable that should not be relied on.
+
+They struggle with their identity, split between the billions of perspectives that constitute their psyche, and a simultaneous detachment from all of it. Because of this they had issues with their sense of self for a long time, not having a proper name or face, only being referred to as The Swarm, but eventually find it among their friends in the Ringleaders, ultimately choosing to go by the name Memento, to symbolize the memories of a lost civilization that they hold. They enjoy helping other people to give them a sense of purpose.
+
+### Motivations
+The Swarm has sworn to ensure the safety of [[The Primary Timeline]]'s Earth, having discovered Earth shortly after [[Andromeda Transfer Incident#The Rusty Exodus|The Rusty Exodus]], helping them rebuild from both the initial fallout, and fulfilling the original purpose for their creation on [[Zenitaf]], helping terra-form and cleanse the Earth of pollution and environmental damage.
+Memento longs to truly understand the human experience. While they contain the data of multitudes of perspectives from different beings, they don't feel any of those memories to be their own. They generally dislike the artificial nature of their existence and often feel distant from those around them due to the esoteric nature of their existence, and they put a large amount of effort into replicating the human experience.
+After forming [[The Ringleaders]] with [[Lore/Rustybot Lore/Rustybot|Rustybot]] they act as the primary PR director of the organization.
+
+### Appearance
+Memento is made up of advanced cell-like [[Polyfold Nanites]]. They can function as a loose swarm of nanites, but generally have a core avatar where they direct the majority of their focus, which is more efficient and more effective for interacting with the world. Their main avatar has a bio-mechanical design. Borrowing from Terran and Zenian physiology, but highly optimized and reworked internally to increase efficiency and simplicity, while having the outward appearance of a Primeline human. The main visual motif between the forms they choose to take is a papercraft aesthetic. They have come to prefer this for aesthetic and functional reasons, both simply enjoying it, and finding that forming nanites into thin sheets that can then be folded and interlocked as a highly efficient way to manage the nanites for quick macrostructure generation.
+
+## Abilities
+### Matter Manipulation
+Memento can use their nanites to disassemble and reassemble matter.
+This has many applications, including, but not limited to:
+- Surgery and Repair
+- Advanced Chemistry
+	- Creating materials that are normally very difficult to create by traditional methods, such as graphine, londselite, etc
+- Terra-forming
+### Omnipresence
+Memento can fill a large space with their nanites to manifest in and monitor any point their nanites can occupy.
+### Omni-adaptability
+Given preparation time Memento can refactor themselves based on their environment to function among a variety of hazards.
+### Amorphism
+Being entirely made of individually controlled nanites allows for Memento to take any shape, or exist without a defined shape.
+
+## Limitations
+### Mesh-Latency and Data Fragmentation
+As opposed to other artificial beings in the multiverse, which tend to have centralized processors either stored directly on their bodies or in secure facilities linked by [[Faster Than Light Technology#Induced Quantum Tunneling|IQT Technology]] Memento's mind is distributed evenly throughout their nanite network. This can cause latency when passing information between far parts of the network. Memento utilizes IQT checkpoints to pass data over extreme distances, but that only ensures that each localized cluster stays in-sync with one-another. The swarm network is also highly susceptible to data fragmentation, slowly slowing processing and data retrieval, requiring Memento to regularly spend idle time defragmenting. One way that Memento combats this is by integrating an organic neural structure into their avatars, projecting the most important parts of their psyche into a centralized offshoot of their network.
+### Nanite Weakness
+While the Polyfold nanites are highly advanced, they still run into the obstacle of physics. Individual nanites are inefficient and slow, and only so many nanites can occupy a point of space. While the nanites possess the basic ability to create temporary bonds with one-another, they are far more effective when specialized into specific components for organized structures. This is to say, time and effort must be spent for the nanite swarm to be organized into structures that are useful and effective for most applications, and if those organized structures are damaged, it takes time and effort to maintain them.

+
+## The Yuris Anomaly
+Through extensive research it is eventually discovered by [[The Ringleaders]] that at the core of Yuris exists an ancient [[Underspace]] breach, the only naturally occurring one in The Primary timeline. This has caused Yuris to have an unnaturally long lifespan for a blue giant, and caused slight alterations to the physical materials of the planets that originally orbited it. This allowed the Yurigans to develop formulas for materials that were otherwise impossible elsewhere in the primary timeline, such as the room-temperature superconductor integral to the function of [[Hardlight]], [[Yurigan AIs]], and hover-engines. The weakened local membrane also allowed for the fledgling research of [[Faster Than Light Technology#Tear Gates|Tear-gates]], originally discovered by [[Amplicorp]], and expanded upon by [[Memento]].
+Due to being entirely a consequence of the local anomaly, the materials that allow this advanced Yurigan technology to function are extremely scarce, only naturally occurring in the celestial bodies that were formed in the light of the star. There have been successful attempts at creating these alloys with artificial underspace breaches in the Primeline, but the process is slow and inefficient.

-**[[Yurigans|Yurigan]]** "Hardlight" is a technology that involves suspending a collective of particles with mass in place using a beam of energy. It does not actually give photons mass, but intertwines them with particles using electromagnetic force, giving the illusion of a construct of light that can interact with physical objects. It has an appearance similar to **[Aerogel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel)** and is not physically dissimilar, being extremely light and airy, but it is slightly warm to the touch, as a consequence of the high amounts of energy required to maintain it.

 There are two major variants of Hardlight developed by the Yurigans:
 ## Standard Hardlight
-Standard Hardlight is the most common type, being easy to apply and maintain. It requires a basic implementation of an energy emitter and a magnetic particle aerosol compound. It is relatively cheap but has the caveat of only forming the simple shapes of tubes, cones, spheres, rectangles, and such, as they can only make shapes by propagating in straight lines from their emitter, although they have a slight amount of flexibility when anchored to a separate object, and can be bent slightly using electromagnetic forces.

It is relatively cheap but has the caveat of only forming primitive shape projected from a point such as tubes, cones, spheres, and rectangles, as they can only make shapes by propagating in straight lines from their emitter, shapes being created by the natural path of light, so you would have lights evenly radiating from a point for a sphere, a laser for a tube, and a square projection hole with low energy that will terminate after a shorted distance for a cube, although they have a slight amount of flexibility when anchored to a separate object, and can be bent slightly using external electromagnetic forces.
 ## "Reflex" Hardlight
 Reflex is the brand name for this type of Hardlight, developed and patented by **[[Amplicorp]]**. The name "Reflex" is a reference to the reflective nanotech satellites within its particle aerosol that intelligently redirect the light beams from their emitter to maintain complex shapes. These shapes are still quite geometric in nature but are far more adaptable and dynamic compared to shapes created by generic Hardlight technology.
