With the active artifact in place, two mechanical arms that were idle and hidden on the other side of this bed began moving, The samples of nomadic tissue were ample enough that they were seemingly stitched and accordingly formed into the shape of a new organ, almost heart-like in shape but off-kilter in a few ways, not to mention purple and not pleasant to look at. The organ was inspected once before a full dosage of nanites were introduced within it, the arms then held it firmly as a third pulled the artifact just above it, pointed crystal down-wards. Aidan would only see a circle of lights dancing above him as that purple object began to glow, the nanites within seemed to look like a million stars somehow, though that might have been the shock getting to his senses.
The Doctor heading the procedure put him under with an ample dose of anesthesia, cutting him open would be too risky otherwise. One of the arms abandoned their previous 'fingers' and adopted a scalpel, moving down to the right side of Aidan's chest and cutting through, the three arms had to act quickly because if they weren't the surgical opening may heal itself shut. the second arm would cut through a section of his ribs and pull it out all-together before the third locked the organ in place within him. All the necessary inlets and outlets strung up just like his heart was. With that the arms simply pulled back, not even stitching the wound shut. The new organ began to secrete the nanites detecting severe injury, his rib-cage in entirety seemed to replace itself just before his chest closed and concealed the clear internal view of things. Uncharacteristically, these nanites left no operational scars and in fact seemed to heal some of the many scars that dotted his torso.
His body began to twitch and slightly shiver as the process only seemed to speed up, the small light in the right side of his chest faded and his movements slowly calmed, miraculously his body hadn't rejected the new addition despite being entirely foreign, purely because the tissue contained traces of nanites that had already been administered to his blood-stream, acting as trojan horses to the immune system and prompting it to ignore the implant.
With Aidan still knocked out for the moment, the Doctors quickly went about the simpler procedure of implants, one within each eye for increased sight and visual based reflexes. The Doctors had promptly named the variant of this augmentation 'ARES-i' the simple addition meant the implant was internal and not external. Surgically molded into the subject's eye and not mounted equipment. Mimicking the functions of the actual body while being of artificial nature, true evolution.
A large section of the bed beneath him pulled apart, leaving his spine bare as the arms quickly went to work again, rapidly implanting the spinal regulators that would further augment his reflexes and overall speed. The ATLAS and DIONYSUS were classed as redundant to utilize in this scenario, his transformation via the use of the new organ made them obsolete in his case, for the functions would be performed similarly and even more so once the entirety of his anatomy, with the obvious exception of his brain had finished undergoing the full replacement. The end was close and his vitals looked stable, alarmingly so, the procedure was known to take lives or even cause fatal after-effects.
