| ==Summary==
| | #REDIRECT [[Project ASTER]] |
| In the year 2525, the [[Spartan II]]s were genetically augmented to become essentially "super humans". These procedures were extremely dangerous and for many, ended in death.
| |
| | |
| ==Procedure Details==
| |
| ===Carbide Ceramic Ossification===
| |
| *Description: Advanced material grafting onto skeletal structures to make bones virtually unbreakable. Recommended coverage not to exceed 3% total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis.
| |
| *Risk(s): Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization.
| |
| | |
| ===Muscular Enhancement Injections===
| |
| *Description: Protein complex is injected intramuscularly to increase tissue density and decrease lactase recovery time.
| |
| *Risk(s): 5% of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase.
| |
| ===Catalytic Thyroid Implant===
| |
| *Description: Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues.
| |
| *Risk(s): Rare instances of elephantiasis. Suppressed sexual drive.
| |
| ===Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites===
| |
| *Description: Alteration of bioeletrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction. 300% increase in subject reflexes. Anecdotal evidence of marked increase in intelligence, memory, and creativity.
| |
| *Risk(s): Significant instances of Parkinson's disease and Fletcher's syndrome.
| |
| | |
| ==Results==
| |
| After these procedures were complete, only 30 Spartans were fit for battle. Approximately a dozen were injured beyond repair and all others died. The effects were surprisingly effective; in one case 3 OSDTs were beaten to death in a accident.
