Extension Technology / Science in The Wild War: Anathema | World Anvil

Extension

Extensions can be considered as prostheses. There are all kinds, arms, legs and even eyes, ears, organs. Those who have more than 30% of their bodies converted into extensions are called "Extends".   The first exploitation of this technology is of course military. To make a good war, you need strong and powerful soldiers, what extensions offer. Thus was born the "Over-Extends". The extensions then became weapons hidden in the bodies. Because having soldiers capable of physical prowess is not enough, he must be able to kill effectively.
That's why experiments were conducted to mount weapons directly on the body of Over-Extends. Unfortunately, the nerve's load of these extensions was already too heavy to bear for a classic human who went crazy or paralyzed. Lerwick was interested in the brain. If he was not able to handle the additional data, it was enough to add a brain to manage the added members. Lerwick then invented the "Auxiliary Brain". He used a Werebeasts processor combined with temporary memory, which allowed the brain to see its data load to be processed, down 40%. The subjects were not only able to better control their movements, but also to do so for long periods. However, it was still not enough to be able to integrate weapons, at least several weapons, in a single subject. Thus, the auxiliary brain was equipped with a pilot assistance program, a kind of help for the subject so that his brain did not have to do all the work. Now, to raise your arm, the subject must just think of the action. The information is transmitted and the auxiliary brain does the rest. For simplicity, if the extensions are the bodywork, the auxiliary brain is the driver's seat and the will of the user is the driver. With this advance and the evolution of auxiliary brains, Lerwick attempted a crazy bet: to make a compound soldier only extension. Despite all expectations, he easily got there and created the first "Processor".
We are in 13950. Although seen as immoral, this invention more to Charioce who decided to make the most of the military potential of these weapons. Unfortunately, these weapons could not stay more than 20 minutes on the battlefield because their body needed too much maintenance. The considerable improvement in technology has raised an observation. Technology can evolve, but it will always take someone to make it work. If these Processors can not work alone, you need to assign someone to help them. Military engineers, experts in Over-Extend were then prepared to be entrusted with the task of "Hand".
These units went from the guinea pig to "slave" in the service of theocracy, which earned them the nickname G.S.U .: Gun Slave Unit.
