== Okay, it's been a week, so I'm just going to post so that we have some progress here... ==
Alex was more serious than normal. His expression was very stoic and he seemed very worried about things, but was obviously selecting his words carefully.
He began, "As most of you know, I have extensive experience with cybernetics that span from minor medical assistance for quality of life improvements, to complete android chassis that can pass for human. My research has mostly focused on how to allow a person to replace a limb or other part of themselves and not only feel as if it were the real organic thing, but that it looks and feels so real that others might never notice the difference. There are a number of psychological benefits from this and there are very few instances these days where modern medical efforts fail and my sort of work is required or beneficial." He pointed to the image of the people in the computer display on the wall, "This is a very different kind of augmentation. I deliberately try to not make the augmentations exceed normal capabilities. I have refused requests to improve and create what some might consider a super soldier type of design option. The psychological problems that come with augmenting a lifeform beyond normal capabilities is something that is almost always a recipe for disaster."
He took a deep breath and continued, "The obvious alterations here are quite the opposite approach. They take pride in being different and to be augmented is a status elevation. This is very dangerous. Notice the ocular implant is designed to see outside of the normal spectrum. What this means for us is that if we use drones or technology of any kind, they are likely going to notice it. We tend to hide things holographically, since we tend to be limited in the use of cloaking technology. I don't want to underestimate their technology, but it is likely that if we employ military grade Electronic Counter Measures or ECM, that we can make their efforts to scan us and our devices see what we want them to see. Fr example, Cindy is designed with a sophisticated tricorder inside her, including a medical scanner in one of her hands. The other hand has a dermal regenerator in it. These are examples of things they may not be able to detect, if we use such things in drones or in devices we're wearing. The trick is that even if they scan for the devices, unless they have our level of military grade scanning capability, their readings will only say what we want them to say. The ECM reads the incoming signal and instantly transmits the appropriate frequencies to display what they expect. In Cindy's case, their scans might show normal internal organs and bodily functions, where in fact there are no organic materials at all."
He sighed and added, "However, they are likely very capable of detecting normal or anticipated reactions when we're talking. Our body temperature, pulse rate, respiration, perspiration are all easily monitored with simple technology. We need to be very careful what we say and do around such people. Although I could repair such augmentations, I have strong feelings against such extreme alterations and for good reasons. I stress that we use extreme caution with these people."
