Advancer Cybernetic Augmentations

While Advancer Enterprises specializes in nanite augmentations and more specialized implants, they still compete within the small Yamatai Star Empire Nepleslian market. With this in mind, Advancer began offering more general-purpose prosthetics and implants in YE 46 as a bid to spread their Biixi Clinics into more corners of the Kikyo Sector and beyond. Advancer Enterprises' cybernetics are renowned for their silver/light grey bodies and typically red trim.

Installation Operations

The installation of Advancer Enterprises' cybernetics (and all in general) involve state-of-the-art procedures and techniques for integrating cybernetic augmentations into organic bodies. When performed by Biixi professionals there is an emphasis on safety and efficiency, performed by highly skilled surgeons and technicians. The process includes pre-operative assessments, precise surgical implantation, and post-operative care, ensuring optimal functionality and compatibility of the cybernetics with the individual's physiology.

Negligible

Negligible-level installation operations are typically simple procedures that can be performed at kiosks at commercial districts and drop-in body shops. These procedures generally take about an hour and involve minimal invasion or alteration of the body's natural structure. Examples of such augmentations include subdermal chips, simple sensory enhancements, or cosmetic modifications. The ease and speed of these installations make them accessible and convenient for clients seeking quick enhancements without significant downtime or medical supervision.

Minor

Minor installation operations are more intricate than negligible ones and are typically conducted in medical clinics or by qualified cybernetics specialists. These procedures take approximately two hours and require a more controlled environment due to the moderate level of invasiveness. Augmentations at this level might include more complex sensory, simple neural implants, basic limb enhancements, or internal organ modifications. Although still relatively straightforward, minor installations necessitate a short recovery period, ensuring the cybernetics integrate well with the body's systems.

“Friendly” local augmentation doctors (augdocs) often fulfill this role historically.

Major

Major installation operations necessitate a full hospital setting with a surgical center, reflecting the complexity and invasiveness of the procedures. These operations can last up to four hours and require a recovery period of about a week. Major augmentations often involve significant modifications such as advanced organ replacements, comprehensive musculoskeletal enhancements, or extensive neural interface integrations. Given the intricacies involved, these procedures demand meticulous pre-operative planning and post-operative care, ensuring the highest safety standards and optimal integration of the cybernetics.

Critical

Critical-level installation operations are the most complex and invasive, requiring the full facilities of a hospital with a specialized surgical center. Such procedures can extend up to six hours, with several weeks needed for recovery. Critical installations typically involve extensive body modifications, such as complete limb replacements, advanced neural reconfigurations, or extensive spinal reconstructions. These operations demand the highest level of medical expertise and post-operative care, given the significant impact on the body's structure and function. Critical installations represent the pinnacle of cybernetic augmentation, offering transformative enhancements at the cost of intensive medical intervention.
