Singapore deploys robotic 'NUSwans' as a camouflaged water-quality test probe in a move that really could go to either our cyberpunk dystopia or our luxury gay space communism, to be honest.

... the reason why Pearl has nested Pearls is because that's literally how they're formed, one layer at a time. They're grown from seeds. In this case, probably small fractures of the gems they're intended to serve, so that they're literally wrapped around their masters.
