Notes
Benefit: Archotech marrow replacement using a self-contained nanite forge housed in a crystalline endosteal lattice. +5 to Fortitude saves vs all blood and marrow diseases, radiation, and haematopoietic damage. Grants regeneration 2 (heals 2 HP per round) from the constant production of optimised healing factors. +2 to Constitution from perfect blood cell synthesis -- every erythrocyte, platelet, and leukocyte is manufactured to archotech specification. Complete immunity to radiation sickness and marrow failure. Reduces all healing times by 75%. Once per day, can trigger 'Crisis Rebuild': heal 4d10 HP and regenerate one severed limb or destroyed organ over 10 minutes. Once per week, the nanite core can produce a single dose of universal archotech-grade blood (heals 3d8 HP when transfused into any recipient).
Install Risk: Medicine DC 25 for complete skeletal marrow ablation and nanite core installation. Recipient makes a Fortitude save DC 21 or suffers total haematopoietic collapse (-6 CON, death within 1d4 hours without full archotech blood replacement). 20% chance of nanite osteosarcoma -- the nanite forge begins converting bone tissue into additional nanite substrate, causing progressive skeletal dissolution (1d4 CON damage per day until the core is removed, which is itself a DC 24 Medicine procedure).
Origin: Corporate catalogues link the Osteogenesis Core to research on a recovered xenosapient bioship, but no public record establishes the vessel, the research team, or the number of working installations. Day One channels claim to hold one; Asset Realisation calls the claim propaganda.
Signature: Ghost. Restricted nanite-forge technology of disputed origin. Possession is treated as a proliferation risk because a captured forge might be adapted to manufacture biological agents.
Strain: Extreme. The nanite core requires bi-weekly substrate infusion -- the forge consumes raw materials at a rate that demands dedicated nutritional supplementation (double normal food requirements). 2% monthly chance of forge cascade: the nanites begin manufacturing blood components exponentially, causing systemic hyperviscosity, thrombosis, and eventual cardiovascular rupture (death in 2d6 hours without emergency core extraction). The crystalline lattice emits a constant low-level radiation signature detectable at 30 metres.
