Prototype #4 = Experiment: Resurrection/Half Robot

While the first experiments solely composed of biological restoration and alteration, this experiment was a test to see how a human could be transformed into part machine. Junko didn't want to simply make the experiment into a plain robot, so she did a bit of planning on how to make the experiment more unique... and despairing. Before we started the resurrection process or did any surgery, we had to assemble the large robotic piece that would support the subject's upper body. While Junko wanted to personally create the entire piece and install it close the ceiling of the computer room, we eventually got assistance from a member of class 77 who was also helping create the executions for the Mutual Killing.

Once the piece was done we started working on Aiko's corpse, we started up the regular procedures for resurrection, but replaced the injured organs and vital organs -except for the brain- with semi-robotic ones, which all have a thin, conductive, mechanical film embedded into their membranes. The bones have also been modified, and are coated in steel to strengthen them. This was a bit tricky to perform on the the hands, so steel plates have been implanted over the back of her hands instead.

The final internal modification was the addition of special electrical nerves, as we later needed to connect them to external wires and the support machine. First, we amputated the subjects legs, and removed the nerves and altered them to be thin, metallic and wire-like. We then connected them to the brain, having them wrap around it, and had them string all the way down to the subject's upper arm, and then connected them with wires, which are on metal plating on the her upper arms.

We also used the special wire-nerves to install 2 robotic optical sensors under her normal eyes. They were connected through 2 cavities carved in the cheekbones, where the optic pieces were installed. There was some difficulty figuring out how Aiko would be attached and supported by the mechanical base and we decided we would completely replace the skin near the hips with layered metal plates, along with making the lower spine and hips almost completely metal, and welding those with the support base.

A tube was also connected to the lower back, so the subject's body can dispose of biological wastes. However she still has to eat in order to get nutrition. Right before we were complete, we injected the neurotransmitters that jump-start brain function. We also injected conductive chemicals into Aiko's brain, a long with nanotech that would help the brain and wire-nerves with connecting with and controlling the mechanical base. Because of the mechanical additions in the brain, we used more electric shocks on it than the previous experiments.
