SPECIAL FEATURES
- Synthetic lung replacement ideal for operating in hostile environments. Can enable host to survive Type II atmospheres and some Type IIIs without a gas mask or rebreather.
- Advanced filtration system for poisonous gases, toxins and biological agents
- Can be equipped with 'adrenal glands' for pumping stimulants directly into the respiratory system.
- Artificial lungs. Significantly improves performance compared to original lungs, improving stamina. It thereby enables host to sprint much faster and for longer durations. The set of lungs is artificial, and thus not susceptible to illnesses and infections like natural lungs would be. Maximal aerobic capacity is greatly increased.
- Augmented to protect the host against poisons and comes equipped with a filtration system for toxins, poisonous gases and biological agents in the air around the host. In addition to filtering out toxins, it can store them in cells in the lungs. The host can exhale the stored gases at will, unleashing the toxins into the air against their enemies. Or safely have them removed with a CPAP like machine every few days. For example, Elpsis can load it up with coma gas for non-lethal missions or could load it with dioxis when she wants to kill people.
- Enough water can still drown the host, possibly causing short-circuits in her system.
- Filtering out poisons and other contaminants from the air is one thing, but unfortunately the artificial lungs don't help in vacuum. Thus the host will have to take the usual precautions to survive in space.
The Advanced Respiratory Replacement System is an artificial lung replacement designed to enable the wearer to survive hazardous atmospheres characterised by dangers such as pollution, poison and similar. It is also helpful when the enemy utilises chemical warfare and the wearer isn't wearing a fully sealed suit.
Implanting the cybernetic organs required invasive surgery. Elpsis was fine with that. She isn't big on things being easy and comfortable. Indeed, she is probably a bit too cavalier about it. The cybernetics not only enable her to survive in a toxic environment and provide protection against poisons, they also significantly improve stamina, allowing her to sprint fast and cover more ground without tiring.
The cybernetics come equipped with a filtration system for toxins, poisonous gases and biological agents in the air around the host. In addition to filtering out toxins, the system can store them in cells in the lungs. The host can exhale the stored gases at will, unleashing the toxins into the air against their enemies. Or safely have them removed with a CPAP like machine every few days. For example, Elpsis can load it up with coma gas for non-lethal missions or could load it with dioxis when she wants to kill people. However, while it can act as a substitute for a gas mask or a rebreathe if needed, the Advanced Respiratory Replacement System does not enable her to survive hard vacuum without oxygen tanks.
