The nanobots are difficult to grab, since their oiliness makes them slide off the tools easily. It'll take a could attempts, but eventually Utayo is able to separate a minuscule clump in her tweezers.
Strangely enough, there's a clear and dramatic effect as the nanobots are removed. After a few moments of being removed, they cease their movement, becoming entirely inert. They no longer transform into the oil, remaining dormant metal. It seems that a critical mass is needed for them to be able to animate.
Hm, that's a valuable find. Let's push that a little bit. She maneuvers a slightly larger pile of the machines to see if that group can function on its own. Then she'll repeat the process, increasing the quantity each time until she gets the result she's looking for. It might be a slow process, but she's patient.
