Nanite Fine Tuner
This fancy looking device allows Nanite Adepts to fine control their changes by shutting down nanite control over all parts of their body but the one they want to change. Quite impressive really. Not useful for those who are not nanite adepts. Type 'shift (body part)=(infection)'
Shifting a single body part costs 10 energy. This item costs 50 mako in the Elite Shop.
- As of October 10th, 2011, you can also "shift save=X" where X is 1, 2, or 3 to save your current form to that slot. At any time, "shift load=X" to re-assume that form.
Thematic Information
The Nanite Fine Tuner is, basically, a reprogramming of the Nanite Adept CnC Nanites with a new set of instructions, to accept more fine-grained control over the infection nanites residing in the subject's body parts. Along with a more controlled spread of the CnC nanites through the body, they block and steer communiction of the infection nanites to only change the bodyparts specified.
Depending on how you want to play it, acquiring a 'Nanite Fine Tuner' means one of three things: Either an official invasive procedure done by Zephyr Labs on the body that handles the reprogramming and redistribution of CnC Nanites ("Why, that's weird that you can suddenly control your nanites. Let us help you make it better!"), an implant or gadget that you can purchase off Zephyr officially, or gaining the extended programming without your character's knowledge through the usual distribution channels of the Nanite Adept experiment (Zephyr's food supply)
