"I'll deal with it. Precognitive lobe, and... standard is six? Would it help with safety to stick to five?"

Permalink

"Not significantly, I think, though we could fit in another organ's strain somewhere else."

Permalink

"Chaff generator, then. But... pencil that, in case it would help with the nerves to skip it."

Permalink

"I'll note it. It's possible, I just don't think it's likely. Next: there are quite a lot of sensory implants available. Most of them would require additional eyes or ears, though the disguise sphincters are extraordinarily good."

Permalink

"Okay. The navigator's ear and high-frequency ear combination sounds good. No pun intended. Enhanced chemoreceptors. The... attention tracker, the air pressure vision, the good nose, magnetic field tracking, I think I want the doubled eyes with expanded spectrum and telescopic vision, And... can I get a set of the wide field of vision eyes on the back edge of my neck?"

Permalink

"Yes, we've placed sets there before."

Permalink

"Then that. And pencil in the van-gogh's membrane and the ocular membrane together. That's... nine, or eleven. Stressing the system with that?"

Permalink

"With the sensorium implant, you'll be fine. Shall we go in order from the beginning for the rest?"

Permalink

"...I think I want to look at the skin layer. It occurs to me that there are things outside the lab I might be willing to help with personally; spy things, rather than soldier ones."

Permalink

"There are certainly several options you could take for the dermis that might work with that. You read them?"

Permalink

"Skimmed it. Anything experimental here?"

Permalink

"A weave just under the skin which dissipates heat in such a way as to make you show up as a blank spot or ordinary human to infrared sensors."

Permalink

"That could be useful. I'll come back to it. Alright, the Pinocchio weave makes sense with the other half in the brain. Chameleon skin, a little redundant with my cell line picks but worthwhile. Hmm, weaveskin seems useful but possibly redundant with the section of armors."

Permalink

"Slightly, but not enormously; it acts as bulletproof silk, rather than something more rigid."

Permalink

"I suppose that makes sense. That, then. Biosculptor tissues seem like I'd experiment with them and hormonal balance enormously just for fun, and also useful. Are the custom follicles redundant, other than speed?"

Permalink

"Yes, if you don't need to do quick-change artistry, you won't need the follicles. Either of them solves the characteristic white hair and high growth rate, which are mostly cosmetic issues but could be a problem in the future if our enemies catch wind of us."

Permalink

"My father and uncles looked fine in white, but I'd be happy to be able to change it up. Heavenscent glands, sure, and yes to the experimental infrared baffle. And the ocular membrane pair, if I'm going with this."

Permalink

"I'll note it down. Anything else?"

Permalink

"Let's put down the internal pocket and the climbing grip, and come back to these later after armor, to decide if I want any more of the protections."

Permalink

"There's a different version of the climbing grip made with small spines, sorted with the weapons; it's more capable, though also more stressful on the body to use."

Permalink

"Can you be a full Spider-Man?"

Permalink

"You are the third person so far to ask that. Yes, yes you can."

Permalink

"Well, I'll take a look later. Pencil the grip flesh for now, and let's go back to the start. Hearts?"

Permalink

"There's a reasonable selection; nothing experimental here at the moment."

Permalink

"Improved hearts. In addition to the small backups. Let's see, what do I want to be resistant to... Injury contingency. Stopped heart. Disease. Loss of circulation. Improper clotting. I think I want the stimulantis gland just to see what I can do with it. And let's add the hibernation and sports endurance modifications. Will there be any issues with those?"
