Changes: Bio med gel

Revision as of 20:10, 1 August 2011

“A jar of bio gel used in the biomedical field.”— Fallout 2 description

Bio med gel or biogel is designed to accelerate organic tissue's regeneration processes, was used in the biomedical field as a healing agent before the Great War. It is possible that the biogel used by the United States Armed Forces was based on the alien biogel.

Background

All kind of brain bot (robobrain, humanoid brain bot, think tank) and others having their brains taken from the skull (cyberdog) use the bio med gel as part of their internal repair systems. Their brains are held inside a hardened glass container at the top suspended in pressurized bio med gel. Although the organic brain inside the bot is a biological organism and cannot be repaired mechanically, a special reservoir filled with the gel is used to repair tissue damage, restoring the bot to life and combat functionality. The bio med gel can take many colors (yellow, blue, violet, green, white, red, cyan) but it is not known if this changes anything in terms of capacity of the gel.

When a staff member of the Sierra Army Depot, General Clifton was wounded by an exploding attack mine, his damaged right eye was surgically removed and placed in bio med gel by the medical staff, hoping that the eye would regenerate to the point where implantation would be successful. However, the Sierra Army Depot was evacuated before the surgery could commence. Evidently, the bio med gel had work, seeing that Clifton's Eye repaired itself enough to be convincing to retinal scanners.

However when fully submerged in the same formula it had an unpleasant effect of dissolving Dobbs shortly after revival. When the Chosen One broke into the Sierra Army Depot, he used a bio med gel as one of three components to complete a partially finished robobrain. The other two components were a motivator (acquired from another robobrain) and a cybernetically enhanced brain which was procured from Level 4 bio-storage. After the activation, the brain acted as a storage medium for the Depot's resident AI.

Appearances

Bio med gel only appears as an item in Fallout 2 and it's mentioned and used for brain bots in Fallout, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout Tactics.
