Dr. Walter Bishop : The escalator is infested with nanites.
Olivia Dunham : Nanites?
Astrid Farnsworth : They are microscopic self-replicating robotics. There's a machine that's generating them.
Dr. Walter Bishop : Despite their itty-bitty size, each of them is capable of storing a tremendous amount of energy, and it would seem they can be overloaded by the bio-kinetic energy stored in the cells of anyone infected.
Peter Bishop : [bemused] You mean, these people's movement is what's activating the nanites?
Dr. Walter Bishop : [snippy] That's what I just said. And the longer they are in the bloodstream, the more sensitive they become, so that the slightest exertion can trigger the overload.
