Augmentics courtesy of Antheok The foundational augmentation, required before the installation of any other Antheok cybernetic system, is the Occipital Spinal Relay (OSR). The OSR consists of two integrated components. The first is implanted at the base of the skull, where it interfaces directly with the brain through proprietary Micro-Neuronic Filaments. The second is secured along the upper thoracic spine, forming a dedicated neural relay between the central nervous system and all installed augmentations. By centralizing communication through the OSR, Antheok systems operate seamlessly while minimizing neurological stress and signal interference. Installation of the OSR is performed exclusively by certified Antheok Carvers. During the procedure, patients are also administered a proprietary biochemical treatment that permanently conditions the immune system to recognize Antheok augmentations as native biological tissue. This significantly reduces the risk of rejection and forms the biological foundation upon which all subsequent augmentations are built. Before discussing Antheok's specialized augmentation suites, it is important to emphasize that Antheok prides itself not only on engineering excellence, but also on patient care. The purchase price of every augmentation includes the implantation procedure, post-operative rehabilitation, physical therapy, and operator training necessary to ensure safe and effective integration with the user's body. The following is an overview of some of the augmentation systems currently offered by Antheok Corporation. Augments fall into 5 major categories: Cybernetic, Skeletal, Neural, Organ, and Muscular Cybernetics is by far the simplest; these are your classic prostheses, arms, legs, and the like. Skeletal Augments modify the patient's existing skeleton. Through Carbide Ossification, the skeleton can be made much, much stronger. This can be done in two ways: a "cheaper" way and a more expensive way. The cheaper option is more invasive and is generally much slower... but ironically has a slightly stronger end result. (It involves cutting the patient open and ossifying them section by section) The more expensive way is much faster, less invasive, but has slightly less strength than the cheaper option. It's trade off is that it has a MAJORLY higher survival rate. (This is done via specialized injections that ossify the bone with the proprietary carbide) Organ augments are done primarily to the heart and lungs. These can vary from adding systems to increase the organ's efficacy, adding filtration to the lungs to allow for breathing in certain environments, all the way to adding a secondary heart (albeit much smaller heart) Muscular augmentations exist generally in tandem with the skeletal ones. To make the muscular system much stronger to support the new skeleton. These are generally done alongside the skeletal augments, in a similar vein to the type chosen. Finally, the one that has the largest variety, the neural augmentations. And with these I will list elsewhere
