No. The implant is an existing technology in this world, something surgically grafted into every citizen since a young age.
[It’s apologetically spoken, Markus all the more sympathetic for anyone having undergone physical changes. While normally the addition of technology into a body is a thought not unusual nor disturbing to an android — a synthetic being, after all, is made of the stuff — it’s the issue of choice (or lack thereof) that acts as a wrong against the whole of the displaced.
Just one more issue on a long list of them. It isn’t even what Markus was totally referring to.]
The empathy bond is what it sounds like; the ability to share feelings and emotion over physical touch. It’s a trait that only us displaced have, but I can’t tell you how or why it exists. Still, it can be helpful in situations where you need to find calm, or a chance to reorient yourself.
[Markus gestures at him with an open hand.]
Let me help you find that calm, just for a little bit.
