Omni Chem Begins the Slaves to Supersoldiers program
Announcement to all slave owning nations:
Need a few crack squads for that extra military right? Well look no further, Omni teks begins a private project that is government approved, the science department has begin a patented chemical that can turn your slaves to loyal machines of death. The STS program insures your slaves can survive for up to a month with neither food nor water and a week without air or contaminated air in that matter. To ensure steady sales, there are neural implants that will cause the slaves to suffer an aneurysm after a 6 month period. Of course the death blow can be applied at an earlier date if you feel the need to do so. Order now!
ooc: Is this MT? It would seem you are defying the laws of nature with this...

OOC: Heh heh heh.
Yep, purely MT. All chemicals and substances are MT and if push comes a shove a meteor that crashed several months ago in Gyrobot can claim responsibility.

OOC: I don't see how soldiers that can live without air for a week can be considered anything remotely like MT, or even PMT, or even FT for that matter.

OOC: Ditto. They would be braindead, especially if they're active at that time.

Mine have no need for air whatsoever.
As for how they'd do it and remain vaguely human, I would suggest some means of maintaining anaerobic respiration by excreting lactic acid, or better, a yeastlike form of anaerobic respiration which produces alcohol. You would then need a severely beefed up liver to process this waste.
OOC: Xirnium however correct me if I am wrong, I beleive Kraven's Sardukar do not breathe.
Wouldn't something that did not breathe for a week without ill consequence, well simply not exist, if you want something like that you may as well invest in Robotics.
OOC: Well, those freakshows are also PMT, if I remember Kraven correctly.
Keeping higher brain fuctions alive with yeast, eh? Heh, that's an amusing concept.
OOC: However Kraven has never yet claimed to create Sardukar by sloshing vats of chemicals at them, remember he makes them via a high failure rate cloning and all other manner of frankensteinesque operations.
Though the idea of using yeast eh? That's certainly using the old loaf...
Mine have no need for air whatsoever.
Judging by your name, however, I take it your soldiers are Necrons? That would explain it then, souls encased in living metal probably don't need to breathe. ;)

OOC: Eh, no, I suggested using the anaerobic respiration technique of yeast, namely, converting sugars into carbon dioxide for exhalation and alcohol for excretion. Not having actual yeasts. Mammals can respire (producing lactic acid) for short periods anaerobically. FT genetically engineered life forms doing so for long periods is much more plausible than, say, FTL travel.
OOC: However Kraven has never yet claimed to create Sardukar by sloshing vats of chemicals at them, remember he makes them via a high failure rate cloning and all other manner of frankensteinesque operations.
OOC: Though personally I concider Kraven's PMT super-soldiers to be nothing but wanked up future technology... fortunately some people don't mind RPing with it for a challenge but I really wouldn't concider it an example of supersoldiers for this technology level, it's pure wank.
