Factories

Overall
They are both the connections to the Weave and the hardware of the weave.

They can all connect, but the ones secretly repurposed to create the Neo-nanos have had their network ability switched off to avoid detection by the other Branches.

They charge in energy through solar panels installed on the geostationary satellites part of the Network. This energy is then automatically beamed down to power the Factories.

In the Valley of the Gods
They have been left as is for a year, to allow settlement of the rebels in their enclosed Valley.

A year later, Anti-nano grenades were used to release their agent and destroy the nano, rendering the Factories supposedly useless.

A few months later, the factories were used to create the neo-nanos, a truncated, agglomerated version of the nano with one function: to make the human immortal.
