Pink goo

Crichton's 'Prey' nanites engulfed their host, kidnapped their minds & bodies and slowly devoured them, using them as raw resources to create new nanites as the older ones died off.
That struck me as somewhat shortsighted on the part of the nanites. Once you've devoured your kidnapped host to the point that they die then you become nothing more than a free floating swarm again.
My nanites are smarter than that, they integrate themselves into the host body & brain, using direct neural stimulation to cause intense pleasure and pain to break the hosts will.
The host will have to up their calorie intake, they're eating for two now after all :D, but the ability to not only look normal when necessary but act like the host does make up for it.
Like I said on the previous pic there are flaws with the story I came up with so I put it in the backburner and came back to it a couple of months later .....
