Stasis is similar in the fact that if you go without it you are liable to preform poorer and poorer and eventually crash into a coma-like state.
I thought that augments worked like this: Nanites are injected into you. To keep up with your enhanced physical abilities, your organs are replaced with mechanical ones that one, weigh you down and two, need to be powered. If they're not powered you go into cardiac arrest and die. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've been told that countless times. People are always saying "I was slightly augmented hurr durr" It's either you are or you're not. And making it so 270 can be recharged I don't agree with. Because if It's so easy, then stasis would be scrapped and we would have done that years ago. Along with that, those machines in your body are like the ones who keep a person's heart beating or like a person on a ventilator that needs it to breathe except they shove it in your chest. Those take more energy than what a battery or solar panel are going to produce.
So a stasis pod, that cannot be opened, but locks you in, no matter what. The stasis pod somehow fell from where it was, then you crawled out. Anyways, you're loyal to the Civil Protection, you get brainwashed then the augumentations.
Allow me to quote from RTLK's stickied guide on stasis.QuoteStasis is similar in the fact that if you go without it you are liable to preform poorer and poorer and eventually crash into a coma-like state.Now, how will we get around this issue. Because 27070 was certainly augmented and would certainly rely on stasis.
Now realise. There should be fuel back, in some of the tanks at the gas station or in the cars. Or at least, that's what everyone will claim, cause where else would everyone get fuel for their cars? Magically?...In general, we're using stalker pods, for stasis pods. That's a bit weird, isn't it?

That's a bit weird, isn't it?On the first note, allow me to link to you a thread where I raised the very same question and the overwhelming response was much like you put it; magic.http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=20308.0To the second point, look at how long a unit would be on-duty... 9-12 hours, maybe more a day. My estimate is that without rest, the augments would slow down rather quickly. At most a week. Think about how many times a unit goes off-duty to rest in the pod. It would make sense for the augments to not have that long a life before they degraded.Finally, we're not working from stalker pods, this is from the official guide. The coma-like state is undeniable.
If the entire CCA's canon on stasis is invalid, why is yours correct? On top of that the trip to the Outlands is pretty long as far as I know. Probably abandoned buildings along the way but nothing that can keep 270 sustained.
Valve doesn't supply that stuff. We are able to use this rather insightful guide by Karma as pretty clear evidence on how we operate at CG- why else would it be stickied and labelled the "Official" guide to stasis. You know what else isn't on the wiki? CWU. Should we cut those as well and fill it in as we please?
you guys know you can email the head writer and ask his opinion on this but he'll probably all call you dumb and say stasis doesn't existi emailed him asking what gunships eat and he told me chicken
I would like to point out, that if the entire CCA are semi-augmented super cops, Why the hell would they augment them so much, that they couldn't survive with out stasis for more than 12 hours? that's dumb and a massive flaw seeing how that limits OTA's operational time(Who are more augmented and using more power) around 24 hours or so assuming they have better power supplies.Another thing you could look up is ATP(Its what the body uses to power its self) and how pacemakers work.
270 doesn't have bionic augmentations, he/she/it has the newer Nantes(More like what you see in Deus Ex, not human revolution) which could be powered by the body easily, shes not as strong as someone who got the bionics, but its cheaper and improves more.Stasis was suppose to be changed to be sleep, but it allows the union to further the indoctrination process(Making it quicker/more effective) but the guide wasn't updated(This was decided after RTLK took one of his leaves).
As the leader of the medical division of the CCA for about 10 months now, I can tell you that augments are created and are mechanical. They are implanted through a surgical procedure in which all of your internal organs except for your brain are removed and replaced. As for your eye sight and hearing, the nanites pettit mentioned are injected into your eye's and ear's directly. Before your heart and lungs are removed, you're literally killed, then your lungs and heart are replaced with mechanical counterparts, and you're given another injection that "revives" you. As much as some like to deny it, augmentation surgery basically makes you a terminator cyborg. You still have your mind, but that's about all you have left to keep you human. high grade metropolice supplements are also injected into your "bloodstream", which help fuel your brain and anything left that's organic inside you. You wouldn't go into a cardiac arrest and die, since you have no organic heart. What would happen when your augments run out of power, is they would simply stop moving. You would be frozen in place, with your mind still working. Without the occasional metropolice supplement intake to keep your brain from dying and decaying, your brain would die and you would essentially be a statue where your augments stopped working. As for an official guide from Valve, nothing exists. The closest you can get to an official word is by doing as raged mentioned and email the story writers. I'm going to go ahead and say that nothing augmented can last outside of Combine facilities where it can go into stasis when needed. You may be able to find power sources, but without the appropriate means to connect them to yourself (a stasis pod), you couldn't do anything with them. I've said this once and I'll say it again, your only chance of surviving would be to come across an OTA patrol and convince them to get you back to their outpost, allowing you to recharge there. Although if this were to happen, you'd be transported to a city. This would make your time in the Outlands on 270 rather temporary. You'll either die, or be found by OTA and transported.

When I was NOVA DvL the only time we did a full aug like that was if the organs where failing, there was no reason to do a full one on a perfectly healthy unit.I was also there when the change was made to move from full bionic augmentations to Nantes augmenting the natural mussel. OTA shouldn't even have bionic limbs anymore, Organs yes, but limbs no.Why would they waste resources augmenting a CCA unit like that?There's also a language barrier here, Challenge has been trying to say the entire time that the only augmenting she got was Nantes never got the bionic limbs.
