Isak lay in the same bed he had earlier that day; the one for the ripperdoc. This time though, it was just a simple checkup after his prior test.

"Nothing too bad. Just a hairline fracture on your ulna and a sprained ankle." The doc said, looking at the scan results he'd taken several minutes prior. "You have to remember your body isn't augmented anymore. Except for that chip I guess. But that's hardly gonna do much yet. Your muscles and bones are fragile compared to even the most basic augments. And they'll be for a while." The doc explained before tossing Isak a small inhaler. "Take a few breathes of the Maxdoc and you should be fine."

Isak did as he was told, inhaling the chill air of the maxdoc. Almost instantly a chill ran across his body, numbing the pain on his limbs. On top of that, he got a notification.

----

[Medtech EXP gained]

[Medtech has increased to level 1]

----

Isak's brow raised at the notification. He got EXP in 'Medtech' just for using a medical item.

He closed the notification and turned back to his status sheet he'd left open.

"You can go now." The doctor said in annoyance as he returned to his seat.

Isak sighed inwardly and got up from the bed and simply left the room. He did have another test to attend soon.

But in the meantime, he looked at his status. Now 'Medtech' had been put under 'Technical Ability' with the '[Locked]' tag.

Regardless, he was more focused on the available perks he apparently had.

Just as he thought of them, a set of screens appeared in front of him. One showing the perks of Athletics, the other Martial Arts.

Isak focused on Athletics first.

----

[Parkour]

[Effect: You gain a sixth sense when it comes to the perfect route to take while running to keep momentum. As well as techniques of running through crowded streets.]

***

[Marathon Runner]

[Effect: The endurance used while running is drastically reduced, letting you run long distances without tiring.]

***

[Heavy Weight]

[Effect: Your muscles become more compact, allowing you superior strength for your size. This also slightly increases durability of muscle tissue.]

----

Only one of the options truly looked useful to him. Granted, each one had its use. 'Marathon Runner' specifically seemed useful. But none of them beat 'Heavy Weight'. Overall being stronger then he was now beat any perk related to running. Endurance he could work on himself. But for now, he needed to be able to fight on an even playing field with someone with cyberware. And assuming it meant every muscle in his body, this was a drastic upgrade.
