A Grey and Black flexible nanocomposite layer of seemingly organic circuitry has grown on Dr. Lazcowicz's back, covering the area from the C7 to T4 vertibra with a width approximately 3 inches across. When using the augmented capacities of the distributed nanite AI, subdermal circuit pathways glow blue with white points traversing them like "packets" of information. During all uses the traces between the unit along his spine to the base of his skull are visible. When using deduction, traces appear to connect this "trunk line" to his eyes, ears, and runs a faint latticework under his hair across his head. When holding actions or exerting for automatic success, lines spread to relevant limbs as well, but for all uses the area around the spinal device is brightest, shining through normal clothing.
If the device is significantly damaged, torn from his skin, or surgically removed, it will self repair or grow back over the course of a couple of months, but in the meantime the Doc will be back to his own grey matter and lose the benefits of direct communion with the AI.
