Implants

Implants are subdermal devices injected into a player using an implanter or implant gun. They can also be removed surgically - please refer to Doctoring for more information.

Science/Medical Implants

Machine Translator

Allows humans to communicate on the secure frequency used by the AI and cyborgs by adding :s before their speech. Good for clandestine communication with a subverted AI, or keeping in touch when regular radios fail.

Tracking

The coordinates of anyone implanted will appear on a space GPS, and their name will show up on the list of destinations for the teleport computer, allowing people to teleport right on top of you. Available on the bridge and telescience.

Health

Monitors the implantee's health and replaces the default health indicator with a more detailed readout, including an as-needed notification for radiation. It also alerts medical PDAs when and where the implantee is in critical condition or dies. Last but not least, their medical record is updated in real time, which can be accessed with a medical computer or the equivalent PDA program.

All Security Officers start with a special version of these that send alerts to Security as well as Medical PDAs.

Access

Grants implantee access to certain areas, as granted by a Head of Personnel, essentially working like an implantable ID card. Lasts for either 2 charges (e.g. unlocking 2 doors) or indefinitely if the Personal Equipment Manufacturer is hacked.

Loyalty

Brainwashes you into NT loyalty Prevents you from becoming a Revolutionary. Available in Loyalty Kits from the Quartermaster. A box of these spawn near the Confiscated Items crate in Cogmap2 and on the center table next to the box of spare cuffs on Cogmap1.

Discontinued Implants

Security/Security Access

Tasers used to backfire on you unless you had one of these. Security implants were eventually scrapped along with implant locks. Freedom implants also let you use tasers, but because they had another use, they still exist.

Blood Monitor

If the implantee died, the blood monitor was supposed to alert the medical staff by updating their medical record. These were nigh-useless, as no one ever checked said records. Superseded by health implants.
