An implant armor body was good in every way—precise movements, quick reactions, greater resistance to damage, even childbirth without having to do it yourself—but like machinery, it required maintenance and attention.
Diagnosis complete Affected by external environmental changes: circulatory system normal, body fluid pH altered, air pressure adjusted accordingly, Telomere lifespan greatly extended.
