As the surgeons worked, intricate neural pathways were rewired and optimized, enhancing cognitive function and removing any barriers to their mental abilities.
Memories of past traumas were suppressed, negative emotions were purged, and pain receptors were disabled among other augmentations.
Such as giving them the passive ability to rest parts of their brains while staying awake ensuring that Marcus and Morgana would become the perfect soldiers if Imperium ever got to the point where they had to scrap the barrel In the future.
Under the watchful eyes of the medical staff, Marcus and Morgana's brains underwent a profound transformation, their neural networks strengthened and expanded to unprecedented levels.
With each passing moment, their minds were elevated to new heights of awareness and clarity, paving the way for enhanced cognitive abilities and heightened perception.
Meanwhile, a separate team of surgeons focused on the physical augmentation of Marcus and Morgana's bodies.
Biomechanical organs, including a third lung, a second heart, and various other enhancements, were carefully implanted, seamlessly integrating with their natural anatomy to provide enhanced functionality and resilience.
Cybernetic implants were then introduced, further enhancing their bodies, brains, and organs with advanced technology designed to optimize their physical and mental capabilities.
One of such cybernetic Implants would Influence their body's ribcages to fuse themselves Into one solid plate during their time In regeneration tanks.
As the first dose of nanocomposite alloy elements was infused into their bones, strengthening and fortifying their skeletal structure, Marcus and Morgana remained blissfully unaware, their unconscious minds shielded from the complexities of the augmentation process.
Hours passed as the surgical teams worked tirelessly, their focus unwavering as they meticulously carried out each stage of the procedure.
Finally, as the last implant was secured and the final dose of nanocomposite alloy elements administered, Marcus and Morgana whose bodies bore fresh surgical scars were carefully returned to their glass tanks, where they would undergo the final stages of recovery and integration.
Inside the tanks, Marcus and Morgana remained in a state of suspended animation, their bodies bathed in the rejuvenating liquid as they continued to undergo the transformative effects of the augmentation process.
Unaware of the monumental changes taking place within them, they drifted deeper into unconsciousness, their destinies forever altered by the hand of Imperium's science and technology.

3 star systems away from Los system.
As a fleet of scavenged patchwork spaceships emerged from the swirling depths of hyperspace, they materialized at the edge of the star systems gravity well, their presence heralded by the telltale hum of their hyperspace engines and the flickering glow of their exhaust trails.
Adorning the outer hulls of each ship were faded red claw emblems, a symbol of the orc clan one of many that commanded them.
The raiding slash scout fleet consisted of twenty frigates of various sizes and designs, each one a testament to the resourcefulness and tenacity of the Red Claw clan.
The majority of the crew were female a unique biological aspect of the Red Claw clan compared to one of the biggest and strongest orc clans composed mostly of males that roamed the galaxy, spreading chaos and destruction wherever they went.
As the ships emerged from hyperspace, they readjusted their trajectories with secondary ion thrusters, their movements coordinated with precision as they aligned themselves for their final approach to the Halcyon space station.
On the command bridge of the lead frigate, the almost 3 meters tall war chief Korr who had muscles upon muscles beneath his green skin surveyed the scene before him, his sharp eyes scanning the void for any signs of danger.
"All ships, prepare for main thruster ignition on my mark,"
War Chief Korr commanded, his beastly voice cutting through the din of activity on the bridge.
"Make sure to keep the strongest males allive, kill the elderly and capture the juveniles they fetch quite a price, also If you see any strong females bring them to me Intact"
War chief Korra reminded as he licked his massive tusks.
The crew members consisting mostly of female orcs aboard each frigate sprang into action, their movements swift and purposeful as they made final preparations for the daring assault ahead.
Across the fleet, engines hummed to life as main ion thrusters ignited, propelling the spaceships forward with renewed speed and power.
As the Halcyon space station came into view against the backdrop of the vast expanse of space, war chief Korr felt a surge of adrenaline course through his veins.
This was it, finally after months of pillaging random freighters while the clans main forces were having the time of their life on a level one Interstellar civilizations homeworld that they destroyed months ago, they had finally found a price that would sustain them for months.
With a determined glint in his eye, he guided his frigate through the final stages of the approach, his hands steady on the control yoke.
"Brace for impact,"
War chief Korr warned, his voice echoing over the ship's intercom system.
"We're going in hard and fast."
With a deafening roar, the lead frigate hurtled toward the Halcyon space station, its hull glowing red-hot from the intensity of the Ion engines.
Behind it, the rest of the fleet followed suit, their engines blazing as they streaked toward their target with reckless abandon.
As they closed in on the station, alarms blared and warning lights flashed, but the Red Claw clan pressed on undeterred.
With a thunderous crash, the lead frigate slammed into the station's outer hull, its impact shaking the very foundations of the massive structure.
The remaining frigates followed suit, their hulls slamming into the station with a series of bone-jarring impacts as they unleashed a coordinated assault on their unsuspecting target.
Explosions rippled through the void as weapons fire erupted from both sides, the clash of metal and energy engulfing the space station in a chaotic maelstrom of destruction.
Amidst the chaos, war chief Korr and his crew fought with unwavering resolve, their eyes fixed on the prize as they sought to seize control of the Halcyon space station and claim its valuable resources for themselves.
As the battle raged on, the fate of the station hung in the balance, its future uncertain amidst the fury of the Red Claw clan's onslaught.

As heavily Intoxicated Isabella danced to the pulsating rhythm of the squid-like xenos DJ's beats, she lost herself in the intoxicating atmosphere of the nightclub.
Her black hair, with an addition of red stripes to her purple ones, fluttered around her as she moved with fluid grace, the music coursing through her veins like liquid fire.
In the dimly lit club, surrounded by flashing lights and swirling shadows, Isabella felt alive in a way she hadn't in ages.
The worries and responsibilities of her daily life melted away as she surrendered to the music, letting it carry her away on a wave of euphoria.
Lost in the moment, Isabella danced with abandon, her movements a blur of energy and passion.
Around her, other club-goers moved to the music, their bodies swaying in time with the hypnotic beat.
As the squid DJ's set reached its climax, the energy in the club peaked, filling the air with an electric charge that seemed to crackle with anticipation.
Isabella closed her purple with a tint of red eyes, letting the music wash over her as she savored the exhilarating sensation of being completely and utterly alive.
While she sank her fangs Into a hypnotized by her humanoid-type xenos neck already covered in fang marks.
As she yanked out her fangs she greedily swallowed down the heavily Intoxicated blood fully enjoying the moment like she had been doing for the last couple of days.
But just as she reached the height of her ecstasy, a sudden jolt rocked the club, sending shockwaves through the dance floor.
Isabella stumbled, nearly losing her balance as the room lurched violently around her.
"What the f...?"
She exclaimed, her heart racing as she tried to make sense of what was happening.
Around her, panic erupted as club-goers screamed and shouted, scrambling for safety as the alloy floor beneath them continued to tremble.
Alarms blared overhead, adding to the chaos as confusion and fear gripped the room.
Isabella's mind raced as she struggled to comprehend the situation.
Had there been an explosion? A terrorist attack? Or something even more sinister?
