Optics

Optics are an Eternal invention that has revolutionized the battlefield, the technological industry, and quality of life. Optics sprung out of a need for a hands-free device that could act as a sort of PDA. Since it is connected to the body, more specifically, the brain itself, it can detect chemical signals and emotions, and can also detect injuries.

Optics are commonly used in tandem with the Emotional Control implants, the optics detecting high levels of stress or severe lack of dopamine, and administer stress-relief medication and/or antidepressants, but that is only 2 examples of what it can do. Other examples include locating wounds and injuries that don't make themselves present immediately, and administering morphine or other painkillers accordingly.

Optics first began as a set of goggles attached to a helmet that worked perfectly for soldiers, in fact, the helmet model is still active in service, although has evolved ever since then. The contact lens model was made because of the need for operatives and VIP's, those that would not wear such armored helmets, needed similar technology. The internal optical model was proposed and designed by Shane Micheal, and to prove the system was safe, he implanted the technology into his own son, Cody Micheal. The design proved safe, and since then, many more Eternals and even humans have gotten optical devices implanted into their eyes.

The Lens model was then invented by Cody Micheal, as after 100 years, his internal optics were beginning to show their flaws. Using his father's design placed into a small nanotechnology lens, able to be placed against the eye like a contact lens. Because of this, he practically eliminated the need for surgery, which proved expensive, while Cody's design was cheaper and more practical.

Lens based Optics glow, and change color when certain emotions are present. Colors include:

Green: Happy.

Dark Green: Frustration

Orange: Worry/Fear

Yellow: Not used. Only happens when the Malfunction Virus is present.
