  1. Augmentation and Cerebral Rehabilitation Guide.
  2. This is a fairly rough and generalized guide, its purpose is only to set out information for people to base their roleplay off of and to set a certain guidelines pertaining to these “arcane” and allegedly oft-abused improvements.
  3.  
  4. Firstly, the new system now set in place in regards to Augments is as follows
  5. MARK I: augmentations and/or prosthetics used for life-saving purposes or to treat otherwise debilitated units.
  6. MARK II: the level of augmentation received by grade one units.
  7. MARK III: the level of augmentation received by Field Command units.
  8. MARK IV: - a reward system set in place for the most exemplary of units, rank being an important factor as such.
  9. MARK V: full transhumanization.
  10.  
  11. Now for the list of augmentations and the classifications they reside underneath:
  12.  
  13. 1. Ocular Reconstruction Enhancement – A standard and low cost upgrade which grants the recipient marginally extended peripheral perception, and perfect 20+/20+ vision for the whole of their field of view. This is a low-maintenance augment, requiring only the occasional checkup so as to ensure that it continues to function properly and so as to prevent potential tissue scarring in the case that the overlay is somehow moved.
  14.  
  15. 2. Modified Cochlear Implants – Essentially an advanced prototype of the same and relatively common pre-war cochlear implant. Reduced significantly in size, it offers the user greatly enhanced audio quality and range. However, due to the implant's mechanical nature, it will usually malfunction when exposed to electro-magnetic pulses or releases of vortigaunt energy. This will result in a problem wherein the implant will continue operating albeit with reduced effect or even lead to full audio impairment in some cases. Whilst not considered a high-maintenance augment, it will require regular monitoring and occasional replacement, owing to the implant's sensitivity and fragility.
  16.  
  17. 3. Muscle Replacement & Enhancement – a procedure wherein the recipient undergoes extensive nano-surgery so as to replace certain extant muscle fibers with heavy-duty synthetic equivalents. These artificial fibers grant the user significantly increased strength and durability in the areas augmented, they also being near entirely resistant to muscle degradation and other associated conditions. In rare instances, cases of skin and muscle tearing are reported, wherein organic tissue may conflict with improperly aligned synthetic muscle. Some maintenance work is thus intermittently required so as to ensure the stability and consistent safe use of the reworked muscle groups.
  18.  
  19. 4. Myoglobin Replacement – a treatment whereby a given user will have their body's natural myoglobin cells systematically replaced with a greatly enhanced protein (referred to forthwith as “super-myoglobin”) with greater mass and stronger bonds. Whilst the replacement may be done only for certain parts of the body, it can also be used to extensively modify and improve almost every single one of an individual's muscle groups. This augmentation will grant the user increased strength, stamina, and endurance. Regular injections of certain classified chemicals are required on a bi-weekly basis so as to prevent muscle degradation and to maintain a sufficient super-myoglobin count. Potential side effects of this therapy includes kidney disease, constipation, and fatigue, all of which can be treated with supplemental work and/or injections. Muscle tearing may also occur during the early stages of replacement, as the body becomes accustomed to the new cells. This is a high-maintenance augmentation, and a failure to provide regular injections of super-myoglobin (and other necessary chemicals) will result in severe muscular dystrophy.
  20.  
  21. 5. Nociceptor Reconstruction – a simple augment which reworks manner in which nociceptors function, dulling an individual's perception of pain and thus removing the standard instinctual imperative to act against it. As both a mechanical (in the form of a small spinal implant) and chemical augment, it will require frequent maintenance work; a failure to provide it often resulting in a gradual return of regular pain perception, which is itself a painful process.
