| Nanotech Life Support (• • • • • Matter, • • • Forces, • • • Mind, • • Prime, • • • • • Life) Technocracy: Progenitors 45 |
| A joint effort of the Progenitors and Iteration X has produces a means
of virtual immorality by using nanotech machines. These tiny
machines are produced and mentally attuned to the intended recipient, then
introduced into the body. The machines scavenge poisons, drugs and
diseases out of the system, destroy abnormal cells, remove the effects of
aging, and rapidly regenerate damaged body parts. Intense trauma, massive loss of blood, asphyxiation and complete bodily destruction can still kill the host. Otherwise, however, the host is more enduring and therefore harder to damage or kill. The machines can temporarily replace damaged organs such as the eyes, eardrums, heart or liver. The recipient permanently gains a 5 Stamina and regenerates one Health level every two turns. He is immune to normal poisons, diseases and drugs, and does not age. The machines can be destroyed by someone with five ranks in Entropy and at least three ranks in Matter. These devices take considerable time to produce and insert; such an "effect" cannot be produced on demand. |
