But one extra mystery is found among the ruins of the Hazaar homeworld; a very special machine. As the Hazaar are very skilled with biotechnology, this machine is nowhere out of the question for their abilities; however, most of the machines and their fuel supply of BAG had run out.
The Hazaar call it the <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Reconstituter</span></span>, and it is essentially a Regeneration Machine. Any living thing placed within can be <span class="mu-i">fully regenerated down to all of its tissues</span>; including neurological cells and the brain. Needless to say, it's a big discovery. Your fleet happens to have a small amount of BAG for research purposes aboard- and after a safety check with minor modifications, it seems like the machine could actually work on a Jaxtian.
<span class="mu-r">”My Ruler.”</span> Jale salutes.
<span class="mu-b">”What is it, Berax?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”I'd like to volenteer to test the Reconstituter. I am the most disposable among the trimunverate, and since my skills mostly involve physical strength and combat, I would benefit the most for the expedition to be the one to test the machine to see if it has any ill effects on Jaxtians.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”And the fact you are the oldest and would like a little of your youth back has nothing to do with it, I wager?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”...”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Heh, consider it a reward for your service. But be warned, any ill effects the machine may have on you is on your own head. Don't come crying to me if you come out looking like a Blue Hazaar.”</span>
Jale thanks you and, after a few minutes, steps out of the machine on its final charge. And he steps out looking like he did as a young man.
<span class="mu-r">”Woah! This is like Telomere plus! I feel young again!”</span>
This opens the door for something never before possible in the Hegemony- biological immortality. If you are capable of restoring and healing all of the body's cells- it could mean getting rid of the effects of aging entirely- even the GPCS- the killer condition that ends 98% of your race when they reach a venerable old age. You need to consider this one carefully; and as such take the machine with you for your return trip to Jaxt later.
