the country and himself economically, his personal goals and aspirations, the field of nanotechnology, it was all true. There was no denying it. But Dave’s goals and plans were also dangerous. They flew in the face of the political status quo. They threatened it. The job Dave was offering him would involve much more than being a lab rat or a bit head, and would be risky. The alternative, however, as his mind swirled, working for the Department of Homeland Security seemed even more deadly to him. Or more simply put, just dead. With that last thought, he looked at Dave and said, “I’m onboard, when do you need me to start.”
                  Dave reached out and shook Joe’s hand and said, “Welcome to NSurv. You have a spring break coming up in a couple of weeks. Plan on coming out to our offices for that week so I can introduce you to the rest of the team and get you up to speed with some of our development projects and plans.” Dave stood up to leave. “After graduation, I expect to see you onboard fulltime within a week.”
                  Joe stood up as well and the two shook hands. Dave immediately departed the coffee shop and Joe fell back into his seat after he left. He was simultaneously feeling a combination of elation and trepidation. He was familiar with the man Dave Henson, and his career success, and couldn’t believe that he had just spoken to him. And more importantly, just got a job offer from him. However, still not fully realized yet by Joe, he had just gotten a job offer that would prove to be magnificently life altering for him as well. He would have to pay Professor Zempke a visit and thank him.

Chapter 10 (March 1, 8:00am Mountain Standard Time)
                  Early Saturday morning Ron walked into the 2nd floor lab of NSurv and greeted Dan and Dr. Gillian. Dr. Gillian was in charge of NSurv’s Material Science Research Department. It was Dr. Gillian’s team that developed the exotic nanotechnology materials that were at the heart of NSurv’s science and products. At the molecular level of one billionth of a meter in diameter, his team developed bio nano structures that Dr. Gillian affectionately referred to as nanops. The nanops were chemically engineered with unique properties that enabled them to be measured, controlled and shaped into various materials for a wide range of applications. For example, the nano-fly’s onboard optical camera sensor was fabricated out of nanocrystal film that Dr. Gillian’s team had developed. The nanops were also capable of being integrated into many other types of materials including fabrics, food, fluids, medical products, and even dust particles. These nanop products could then be delivered into host targets and controlled to do a wide variety of tasks. The tasks that they could perform ranged from monitoring and tracking for surveillance applications, to locating and destroying cancer cells in human tissue. 
                  However, it was a new surveillance application that Ron was most interested in seeing today. Dr. Gillian’s team had spent the last eighteen months perfecting a new dust material laced with nanops that once ingested could allow a person to be tracked and monitored from anywhere in the world. The nano-dust could be controlled to identify the person’s DNA, which could then be matched up with a national database to identify the person. With the person identified, he or she could be tracked at all times, with NSurv knowing where the person was, and what they ate, saw, or heard. The nano-dust material could even detect if the person was running a fever or had a cold. It was the ultimate in surveillance technology. At any time NSurv wanted to expunge the nano-dust from the host person, it could send a self-destruct sequence of commands to it that would cause the nano-dust to decompose and be evacuated from the target human’s body via its normal digestive
