Greater. Faster. More powerful than you ever dreamed. Or perhaps youâre lacking in strength altogether, desperate to rise above your limitations. Nanotech Augmentation is the answerâthe ultimate, the pinnacle of human (or otherwise) evolution. Forget everything youâve been told about mechanical enhancements. Obsolete. Primitive. Those clunky, outdated prosthetics were nothing more than the fumbling first steps of technological infancy.
What came before was merely trial and error, an exploration of crude parts welded to flesh. Nanotech Augmentation is different. Itâs the perfect fusion of cutting-edge technology and biology. Microscopic, intelligent machines designed to enhance every fiber of your being without the bulk, without the limitations. Seamless. Subtle. Perfect.
Thereâs no need to carry the weight of mechanical augmentations that grind and creak with age. No need to feel disconnected from your enhancements as though they were a burden. With nanotech, the enhancements become you. Integrated at the cellular level, nanotech allows you to become the best version of yourselfâno, more than yourself.
This is perfection. This is Nanotech Augmentation.
Unfortunately, thereâs one small but crucial requirement to start your journey toward Nanotech Augmentation: you must be alive. Robots, undead, and other forms of the not-so-living, weâre sorry to say this, but you donât qualify. Nanotech requires living cells to bond with, so if youâre not among the living, your augmentation dreams end here. (For now, that isâthere are always rumors of experimental procedures in the darker corners of the galaxy, but we digressâŚ)
For those who do qualify, though, the good news is that any civilized world will have facilities capable of performing your augmentation procedure. Some places might even offer it for free! Yes, you heard that right: walk into your local augmentation facility, and in no time at all, youâll be augmented. No long waiting periods, no red tape (probably), and no unnecessary formalities. You could walk in one person and walk out someoneâor somethingâentirely new.
âCivilized worldâ here being defined by whether or not they can offer such _facilities_âeven if some of them are more akin to back-alley clinics with questionable hygiene standards. And _free_? Sure, if youâre willing to accept some fine printâlike signing your life away, literally or figuratively.â
Now, not everyone is born lucky. Rough estimates suggest that only 10% of any given population is biologically compatible with Nanotech Augmentation. The good news? Thereâs a simple test to determine if youâre among the chosen few! Your doctor will run a quick assessment (no sweat!) and inform you if youâre ready for the procedure. If youâre compatible, congratulations! Youâre just minutes away from joining the elite ranks of the Augmented.
âRight. Simple test, by a real doctor and not a con artist in a lab coat. No big deal. Except no doctor is actually going to _test_ you. Theyâll tell you what you want to hearâespecially if youâve paid in advance. Or been selected as a _volunteer_.â
The moment youâve been waiting forâaugmentation. The actual process may vary slightly depending on which facility you visit, but the theory remains the same across the board. Itâs a simple, quick procedure that the technicians will walk you through step by step. Youâll be amazed at how easy it is to become something greater.
(Details of the exact procedure are omitted for legal reasons, but rest assured, itâs completely safe. Thereâs no way this can go wrong.)
Once the procedure begins, youâll be on the fast track to enhanced abilities, and before you know it, youâll be walking out with powers beyond your wildest dreams. Imagine a whole new youâstronger, faster, smarter.
âSure, sure. âSimpleâ and âquick.â Just a little injection here and there, right? No mention of the _graphic_ aspects, which might include what happens if the nanotech begins eating you from the inside out because itâs⌠misaligned with your biology. But, no big deal, youâll âwalk away totally fine.â Or be carried away. Whatever.â
While many augmented individuals are content to stop their journey here, why settle? The road to greater power is long, and for those bold enough to continue, even greater potential awaits. Enter the realm of Material Integrationâwhere the truly elite step up.
There are a variety of nanotech-infused super materials that youâve likely heard of: Glasteel, Titanite, Palladian, and Adamantian. Youâve seen how these materials have revolutionized the fields of technology, industry, and warfare. Now, imagine those very same breakthroughs, but instead of being in your equipment, theyâre a part of you. Each material offers its own unique enhancementsâspeed, strength, resilience, biological adaptabilityâyou name it. Why stop at mere augmentation when you can push your bodyâs limits even further?
Material Integration isnât just an upgrade. Itâs a transformation.
âAh yes, the shiny sales pitch. âGreater power,â they say. What they donât tell you is that this is where things get _really_ interestingâby which I mean dangerously unstable. Itâs not just dangerous to you at this point, itâs dangerous for everyone around you. Ever hear about the guy who integrated Palladian and developed _uncontrollable mutations_? Or the Glasteel enthusiast who, letâs say, didnât quite get the whole âenergy overloadâ warning? But hey, why settle for safe when you can roll the dice, right?â
Congratulations. Youâve made it this farâaugmented, material integrated, and clearly a visionary. Youâve proven youâre not content with being ordinary or even extraordinary. Youâre here because you want to be the best. And now, the final step awaits: Breachforging.
This is itâthe summit of power. The pinnacle of what nanotech augmentation can offer. Youâve unlocked strength, resilience, and speed beyond what anyone could have imagined, but Breachforging promises more. Far more. Itâs the ultimate transformation.
Are you ready to be Breachforged?
(⌠Wait, hold on⌠What do you mean we donât know how to do Step Five? How can I sell this as a product if we donât even have a⌠Wait, why are you guys leaving? Hey! Someone, get back here!)
âWell, would you look at that. The salesman finally says something that makes sense! For once, theyâre being honest: they donât actually know what theyâre doing. Sure, theyâve been guessing their way through nanotech for a while now, but Breachforging? Yeah, no clue. And yet theyâll still sell you a dream. Even if they canât deliverâbecause, well, they havenât figured that part out yet, and likely never will.â
