((the program Quint's brought up is an easy-use interface for the CR. In this case, the CR would have scanned Air and there would be a scan on the screen. Scans can be rotated, zoomed in or out, etc. There would also be a listing of things the Pred computer thinks are damaged. It likely wouldn't know that the chip isn't supposed to be part of Air's systems, but it would notice those cut wires. It's easy enough to select things, explain to it, etc. And it won't actually repair anything without confirmation. Think of it like a Windows program that doesn't crash. Easy point and click stuff. Predacons are used to setting up important systems to be used by a certain lowest common intelligence in the crew. ;) In this case, it'd be a matter of selecting the chip, telling the computer that that does not belong there and needs removed. The computer might ask if the wires and connections to the chip should be removed as well (and should highlight which ones it means in the scan, and they'd be selectable, etc, and so on) Anything it does remove it'll remove completely. The nanites work on a molecular level and would take the chip apart into its componant molecules and store the molecules away in whatever subspace it uses as supply storage. It can also fabricate parts (depending on how well stocked the materials storage is, and Waspy does a fairly decent job of that) and do other repairs.))
