Explaining Cal's powers
By Cal Kingsley 0 Comments
Melee attack:
Sorting rotors accelerate calcium ion concentration in the sarcoplasmic
reticulum, increasing Cal's muscle speed several-fold and multiplying the
damage he inflicts in melee combat
Super strength:
Muscle strength is amplified with ionic polymeric gel myofibrils that allow
Cal to push and lift extraordinarily heavy objects.
Ballistic protection:
Monomolecular plates reinforce the skin epithelial membrane, reducing the
damage Cal receives from projectiles and bladed weapons.
Speed enhancement:
Ionic polymeric gel myofibrils are woven into the leg muscles, increasing
the speed at which Cal can run and climb, the height he can jump, and
reducing the damage he receives from falling.
Environmental resistances:
Induced keratin productions strengthen all epithelial tissues and reduce Cal's vulnerability to radiation and other toxins.
Regeneration:
Programmable polymerase automatically directs construction of proteins in
injured cells, restoring Cal to full health over time.
Cloak:
Subdermal pigmentation cells allow Cal to blend with his surrounding
environment, rendering him effectively invisible to observation by organic
hostiles.
Synthetic heart:
This synthetic heart circulates not only blood but a steady concentration of
mechanochemical power cells, smart phagocytes, and liposomes containing
prefab diamondoid machine parts, resulting in upgraded performance for all
installed augmentations.
Targeting:
Image-scaling and recognition provided by multiplexing the optic nerve with
doped polyacetylene ‘quantum wires’ not only increases accuracy, but also
delivers limited situational info about a target.
Spy drone:
Advanced nanofactories can assemble a spy drone upon demand which can then
be remotely controlled by Cal until released or destroyed, at which a
point a new drone will be assembled, further upgrades equip the spy drones
with better armor and a one-shot EMP attack.
IFF:
Automatic friend or foe identification uses advanced heuristic algorithms to
associate visible objects with known threat categories.
Light:
Bioluminescent cells within the retina provide coherent illumination of Cal's field of view.
Remote detonator:
Aerosol nanoparticles are released upon detection of objects fitting the
electromagnetic threat profile of missiles and grenades; those nanoparticles
will prematurely detonate such objects prior to reaching the user.
Radar transparency:
Radar absorbent resin augments epithelial proteins. It provides highly effective concealment from automated detection systems – bots, cameras, turrets.
Vision enhancement:
By bleaching selected rod photoreceptors and saturating them with
metarhodopsin XII, the “nightvision” present in most nocturnal animals can
be duplicated. Subsequent upgrades and modifications add infravision and
sonar-resonance imaging that effectively allows Cal to see through walls.
Power Recirculator:
Power consumption for all augmentations is reduced by polyanilene circuits
plugged directly onto cell membranes that allow nantite particles to
interconnect electronically without leaving their host cells.
Run Silent:
The necessary muscle movements for complete silence when walking or running
are determined continuously with reactive kinematics equations produced by
embedded nanocomputers.
Yeah... he's intense
