- | Cybernetics are technological enhancements applied to the body, usually to correct some dysfunction or injury. Basic cybernetics technology is available in most Factions for those who can afford them, and are usually suitable for restoring function to a roughly average level. Issues can and do arise however, particularly in synchronising the host’s nervous system with the augmentation. These conflicts are the main cause of augment rejection and the difficulties in creating augmentations with more powerful abilities. Some attempts at augmentation just fail, often for reasons that cannot be predicted, and so cybernetic technology has not been able to eliminate all disabilities in the modern era. | + | [{{:image:items:subtle_cybernetics_byagentbsmith.jpg?250 |<html><font color=black>Cybernetic implants can be quite subtle, with only small protrusions above the skin</font></html>}}]Cybernetics are technological enhancements applied to the body, usually to correct some dysfunction or injury.
