Fog nanomaterial doesn't seem to be grey or goo; at least when it's deactivated, it appears to take the form of silver sand. (And it apparently can't be reinitialized once that happens; Haruna and Kirishima ended up strewn all over that beach, and they couldn't just go down there and build a sand battleship.) It's also not of immediately evident utility as a body mod medium for biological lifeforms... fortunately. Ew.
