	When administered, the nannies purge competing nannies out of the subject's system, repopulate themselves, and do a full read of the subject's mind within a few days [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-02-14\|2008-02-14]]]. Once that is complete, the nannies move memories and other data stored in the brain to distributed locations throughout the body [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-11-18\|2007-11-18]]]. After this point, it is practically impossible for a would-be-killer to be certain that they have destroyed the subject's "brain", allowing the subject to be regrown from any available tissue, making them functionally immortal [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-11-22\|2007-11-22]]]. This process incidentally makes the subject almost immune to mindrip (memory and cognitive function are no longer held in the brain where the mindripper would expect, but in the nannies) [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-03-01\|2004-03-01]]], [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-11-18\|2007-11-18]]].

	The nannies also have the ability to create an induced interactive psychotropic metaphor state, allowing them to communicate with the subject [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-08-17\|2007-08-17]]], and to activate "runt super-soldier mode," an armored state which allows the subject to effectively and easily take on armored soldiers and heavy cavalry in hand-to-hand combat with a punching strength capable of tearing through hullmetal [~~[[@~~http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-11-21\|2007-11-21]~~]][[~~[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-02-15\|2008-02-15]]].
