OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Panbiotic Augmentation Package, or PanAUG for short, is a framework of sorts designed to prepare a body for a variety of modifications. It is a common post-signing procedure for new Globex employees (the company often uses advanced cybernetics much like competitors use bonuses), yet is equally accessible to consumers, other companies, and governments. Anyone with the requisite credits, really.
While the procedure can and often is purely functional, Globex's corporate culture has led to many undergoing increasingly vain medical procedures at the same time, including cosmetic surgery and alterations to the sweat glands that have been compared to 'bio-integrated perfume'.
Globex employees are sometimes referred to as 'mannequins' due to their often tinkered-with appearances and tendency to stare into empty air while interfacing with some computer system or another. Needless to say, that particular nickname is more often than not derogatory.

- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: Panbiotic Augmentation Package | PanAUG
- Modularity: Extreme; extraordinarily modular.

- Classification: Body Augmentation
- Size: Extremely Large
- Weight: Average
- Resistances: Variable.
- The Panbiotic Augmentation Package is a modular cybernetic suite into which a variety of systems can be interfaced. The base components are an N2 Neurochip (wireless mind-to-machine interface) and neuromesh conduits implanted into the spine for expedited data transfers. A connection port in the back of the neck for direct data transfers and more secure technological interfacing is a common feature.
- PanAUG implantation can involve cybernetics, biomods, genetic engineering, and surgery. Common examples are listed below.
- Cosmetic surgery for aesthetically unpleasing individuals. May include procedures to conceal the effects of ageing as desired.
- Alterations to sweat glands; scent-enhancement is standard and 'heat converters' may be used as an alternative to sweating.
- Implantation of Bioregeneration Glands and biomonitoring systems; may be linked to comms for automatic distress calls.
- Alterations to the digestive system; digestive efficiency (reduced waste production+), regulation of fat production.
- Alterations to musculature; electrokinetic stimulation as an alternative to exercise. Enhanced seat muscles.
- Alterations to nail growth; regulated via electrical stimulation to eliminate the need for regular trimming.
- Alterations to hair growth; regulated via electrical stimulation to eliminate the need for regular trimming.
- Alterations to pain receptors; made subservient to central control implants, regulated as necessary.
- Alterations to ocular systems; range from inbuilt lenses for data overlays to complete replacement.
- Alterations to the skin; 'cleaner skin', cosmetic luminescence, animated tattoos, et cetera.
- The skin may be altered to relay signals to compatible electronics and clothing.
- PanAUG is compatible with a variety of rare, invasive, or otherwise unusual procedures. Some examples are listed below.
- Subdermal armouring is commonly used by Globex Security Officers, despite them rarely being involved in actual firefights.
- AI core implantation; allows a SIC or comparable AI to exist within the user. Can be used to control complex cybernetics.
- CVB-12 'Sunheart' Power Hearts are used to power energy-intensive cybernetics; they are common among executives.
- OB-44 'Theia' Bionic Eyes are often used by executives, spies, and tech specialists; they may be given as rewards.
- PanAUG may somewhat reduce side effects from Synthisense or even Voidwalker treatments. Emphasis on may.
- Life extension; replacement of defective organs and pharmaceutical procedures. Less effective than 'magic'.
- PanAUG systems in use by Globex employees often have 'handshake protocols' used to gain access to facilities and systems without needing to wait for biometrics. High-security locations/systems sometimes require 'neural verification', i.e., the user must connect and think the right things, which could be a code or even a fond memory. Needless to say, such methods are not the easiest for intruders to duplicate.
- Networked Bodies: PanAUG prepares a body for further augmentation and allows the user to interface with their cybernetics and nearby systems. PanAUG users can, with the right calibrations, communicate with each other and compatible electronics as if by telepathy.
- False Information: Networked users can be fed false information if the network is compromised or malfunctioning.
