The Brion Substance Regulator
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Created by Mathieu Brion under the close guidance of a family friend, the Brion Substance Regulator (BSR) is a relatively thin device. The purpose was to better be able to apply and switch between different combat stimulants and combat adrenals and that is also the function which it has mainly served so far. In its design, the BSR is relatively simple for an implant seeing as it has six small capsules for substance storage. The capsules are connected to a highly sensitive panel with the UI and underneath it runs the thin funneling cables that allows for the substances to be injected into the bloodstream.
The device can be installed in a wide range of different locations on the body. What it needs is access to the bloodstream and an area wide enough to hold it. This is primarily as a consequence of its relatively thin and wide design and will for instance allow it to be installed by the wrist whilst trying to install it by a finger or ear would end in failure because of its width. For optimal use, the implant should be installed near the surface of the skin which allows for a less troublesome use of the UI, an easier refill process and easier access if it needs to be removed.
The heavy use of rubber and soft plastics ensures that the device, whilst staying small enough in size to work as an implant, also makes it very hard to disable through EMPs. Furthermore, these materials ensures that the user will not be injured in case of being exposed to a strong magnet since the non-metallic materials will be able to hold the metallic ones in place.
The UI is based on the panel which may be considered the primary component of the device, if nothing else at least in terms of size. It allows for the user - or anybody else - to control the device by interacting. These interactions work similarly to those of a touchpad but with the drawback of not being able to see any of the control spots and are done by swipes and pushes on the user's skin. While the control points are intuitively placed in relation to the capsules, it can still be hard to operate. In order to avoid making Accidental releases too common, it requires three steps to be completed - first the selection of the substance, then the regulation of how much should be released and finally confirmation. If these steps are done in the wrong order or multiple selections are made at once, the process will be cancelled.
When in use, the software will allow the user to regulate the substance release functions. Combined with being able to inject the substance immediately, this also allows the user to choose what kind of stimulant or adrenal they wish to use depending on the situation. Refilling the capsules is done through refill-ports at the side of the implant and is typically done with a syringe. This means that the time required to apply the substance will be moved onto a much earlier stage. The control mechanism and the possibility for the device to dampen the effects of the substance also allows for them to be used in shorter bursts with less noticeable side-effects.

- Intent: Create a substance regulator for Mathieu Brion

- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Mathieu Brion
- Affiliation: (Mathieu Brion
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: No
- Production: The scale is Unique
- Material: Plastics, aluminium, rubber electrical components.
- Classification: Implant
- Size: Large
- Weight: Average
- Resistances (Optional):
- Energy: Average
- Kinetic: Average
- Lightsabers: None
- EMP/Ion: Extreme
- Stores and distributes stimulants and adrenals of up to six different types
- Immediate activation:Normally, adrenals and stimulants have to be injected, typically with the use of a syringe which has to be properly placed. The substance regulator does not require such a process and will activate the substance immediately.
- EMP/Ion resistance:Embedded in rubber and with thin internal insulating layers, the device is highly resistant to EMP and ion effects.
- Hidden:If anyone were to search for the device, it would take a tremendous effort to find. It is nigh on impossible to see visually and can
only barely be felt if force is applied while touching the user where it was installed. - Controlled:The substance regulator is good at regulating the amount of the released substance, allowing for precise and purposefully appropriate amounts to be used. Because of a targeted gathering mechanism and the controlled doses, the device also allows for better control over when to end the immediate effects of a stimulant of adrenal.
- Low effort-reward factor: Installing an implant in exchange for something which could mostly be achieved without it with some planning and preparation can be considered to be unproportionally ambitious.
- Intricate repair and/or replace process:If the device is damaged to the point where it requires repairs or replacement, the process demands for it to be removed which can be both painful and dangerous to the user.
- Poor user-interfaceThe UI is not visible to the naked eye as it consists of a panel on the top of the device. This means that the user have to remember where the implant is and where the regulation and release controls are on the panel.
- Accidental releases possible: While the process to release the substance requires a bit more than a simple press, it is undeniable that it can be done by accident. Both by a careless user or a third party.
