Rejuvenation Tank
Rejuvenation Tank (TL10)
This specialized regeneration tank reverses the aging process. Its nanomachines reset cellular clocks, killing senescent or dying cells and replacing them with healthy ones.
Rejuvenation requires three months of treatment (TL10), six weeks of treatment (TL11) or a week (TL12), after which the subject's body is restored to young adulthood and full health. All age-related disadvantages and attribute losses are removed, as are any crippling injuries.
Rejuvenation is a risky procedure. The process supervisor must make a Physician roll. On a critical success, the patient is rejuvenated and fully recovered. Success means that the patient is rejuvenated but suffers Confused (9) for 1d days as he adjusts to his rejuvenated body. Failure means the structures of his memory were permanently disrupted: he has Partial Amnesia. A critical failure results in either a messy death (such as being turned into a mass of cancer cells) or revival with no mind at all. Rejuvenation treatments may also have other limits, such as sterility or a set limit on the number of rejuvenations one can sustain.
A rejuvenation tank can also function as a regeneration tank. $300,000, 600 lbs., 2E/200 hr. LC2.
