A commander can induce the local network to produce
an accepted blueprint from its ceiling nodules.
In other words, the commander can drop weapons,
ammo, and medkits from the ceiling, spending resources
to create them. Scanner sweeps and distress beacons
also involve material manipulation of the command
network's ceiling construction nanos, and so are
listed here. </p>
