Hello, future Operators! Going crazy already? We are becoming a little bit restless with all the self-isolation, but it’s not like we were too social to begin with… we are kind of nerds. Keep yourselves and your families and friends safe! Wash your hands! Pre-order Cybero… I mean, today we will learn a little bit regarding what allows Geist agents to survive frantic combat: augmentations.
As previously mentioned, Baltia’s cyber industries were well developed prior to the war, and it was one of the main reasons for the NCE to try and completely destroy the independence movement from the start.
Nowadays, augmentations are available for anyone with enough cash to buy them. However, special implants and cyberization items are banned to the public and are used by military special units, like Geist.
One of the most common implants Agents decide to install in their bodies is the Sensor Suit. Based on the Mk.2 Military Cyber Suite, Geist agents are users of the prototype Mk.3 Sensor Suite, which provides an increased range of vision, allowing the detection and engagement of enemies at safer distances, in all light and weather conditions.
For more aggressive Agents, a stronger body is more suitable for CQC and melee fights. The Baltian government issued a request to the Baltian Cyber Industries R&D division to improve the combat proven CAT Servo and Muscle Suit, for special operations usage. The incorporation of new magnetic articulations and nanofibers to the CAT suit resulted in the improved Advanced Combat Suit, offering an increase in weapon accuracy and user strength, without any real compromise.
How do you feel about human "augmenting"? I would personally replace my knees, because they sound like an old rocking chair :D
... (Hey!, psst!... stay tuned. We will have some exciting news soon!)
