Modified from a “baked” (produced) Modus enedoskeleton, Rebeka's personal endoskeleton provides structural support similar to the way a powered-armor works, allowing her to focus far less on maintaining her shape and moving joints which follow humanoid convention. Importantly, it features a large number of “practical modifications” which in her words “are probably your next evolutionary steps”, appending the failures and short-comings of a conventional skeleton.
These changes include…
- Three threaded spines for improved loading capacity
- Extensible fore-arms and lower legs for height adjustment and shock absorbsion
- Two-stage knees
- Equal thickness of skull, removing temples and removing sharp internal extrusions
- Gradiented mixtures of ligament-like and bone-like material rather than areas of strictly one or the other
- Redesigned joints, removing a majority of functional clinches, allowing for easy dislocation and re-attachment
- A second tier of teeth built into the cheekbones further up the jaw
- Rebeka is known to use nerves inside her “teeth” to sense electromagnetism, like a compound eye
- Larger symmetrical hands with two thumbs
- Bird-like feet designed for grasping and manipulation, similar to hands. can lock together like a conventional foot.
- “Idealised” facial and torso proportions, including a angled jaw and wider hips
- Cavities for additional eyes (covered, unused at this time)
- Extended Extended ala & extruded lilum (hollow, featuring room for a QNC in one and pressurized oxygen in the other)
- Ruggedized pubis
- Acetabulum plugs into secondary spines
- Distendable pubic bone (taking a cue from Lorath anatomy)
- Compacted torso space for better centre of mass
- Legs extended 250% for greater stride-length
- Adapted “mantis” style fore-arm on Z-mechanism, normally folded like a conventional arm
- Ruggedized shoulders
- Enlarged Modus motor systems for improved locking and strength
- Stone-thread/structol combination artificial tendons
- Mechanically adjustable shoulder width, torso and facial proportions (avoiding biometric recognition
- Addition of conventionally serviceable elements using basic tools
- Addition of locking ports (similar to screw-holes) all over body to connect to bodysuit or other hardware
- Durandium outer laminate
It is worn inside her and is often removed when she wishes to sleep. Known to frighten other crewmates, she keeps it in the bathroom when not in use.
