The NEMOS Link

The NEMOS Link, or simply the NEMOS(Neuro-Enhanced Machinery Operating System), represents a pinnacle of human-created biotechnology developed early in the era of the Imperial Great Crusade. This groundbreaking biocybernetic system fundamentally transformed the interface between the human nervous system and various machines used for war, work, and leisure. At its core, the NEMOS Link consists predominantly of a highly neuroactive, black organic fibrous material. This material is meticulously implanted directly beneath the skin of the bearer’s body, with the majority of insertions strategically placed along the torso, thighs, upper arms, and forelimbs.
The purpose of these implants is to establish a seamless and highly responsive connection between the human nervous system and external technological devices. This allows for unprecedented levels of control and integration, enhancing the bearer's capabilities in multiple facets of their life. In many cases, the NEMOS Link is implanted alongside a Spinal Interface Unit (SIU), which extends along the spine. This additional component further optimizes the integration between the bearer and their technology. The S.I Unit works in concert with the NEMOS Link, ensuring a more cohesive and harmonious connection. By spanning the length of the spine, the S.I Unit enhances the transmission of neural signals, facilitating quicker and more precise interactions with connected devices.

To establish the connection between the NEMOS and the bearer’s nervous system, skilled medical professionals must perform a delicate and precise set of surgical procedures. These involve the careful cutting through the layers of the bearer’s skin and muscle with the utilization of specialized surgical tools. Notably, the subject must remain fully cognizant and awake during the entire operation. This requirement, although it introduces a significant degree of pain, is crucial to ensure that the nascent NEMOS lattice properly melds with the bearer’s nervous system whilst both are in an active state. Additionally, by keeping the subject awake surgeons can monitor real-time responses and make necessary adjustments to facilitate a more seamless integration.
The implantation procedure begins with the surgical team making precise incisions along the designated implantation sites to allow the access to the underlying muscle and nerve structures. Subsequently the surgeons meticulously insert NEMOS paneled lattices networks under the skin and along and around the exposed musculature. Throughout the process, the reactions of both the subject and the NEMOS are closely monitored to ensure the lattice is responding correctly and beginning to integrate seamlessly with the nervous system. The pain endured by the subject, though intense, is a necessary component of the procedure, as it helps guarantee that the connection between the NEMOS and the nervous system is both strong and responsive. This connection is vital for the NEMOS system to function effectively.
After the initial three hours of synchronization between the bearer and the NEMOS Link, the implantation process reaches a critical milestone. At this point, the subject is sedated to allow for the next phase of integration to occur while they are unconscious. During this period of sedation, the bearer begins to establish a direct interface between their central nervous system and the newly integrated biocybernetic systems.
Over the course of several more hours, potentially extending up to a full day, the implanted material undergoes a crucial transformation. The neuroactive, black organic fibers of the NEMOS lattice gradually solidify, forming a stable and resilient structure within the bearer's body. Concurrently, invasive synthetic fiber bundles start to grow inward from the implantation sites. These fiber bundles play a vital role in the synchonization process, acting as integration points for the bearer's neurons. As these synthetic fibers intertwine with the bearer's central nervous system, they create a network of connections that seamlessly link the biological and biocybernetic components.
