Krissana and Orfea both have some kind of optical implant. Krissana apparently has replaced her "flesh eyes" with optics, while Orfea has "overlays" that provide a sort of augmented reality overlay to what she sees. The overlay gives information about the time and directions.
She loads Krissana’s health profile, running a few checks, making small, minute adjustments to the couplings that join Krissana’s pain receptors to her augments. Combat augments, she notes, all enabled and online. They are not Amaryllis-issued. These are superior and, judging by activity logs, installed very recently. Optics to replace flesh eyes and visual nerves, enhanced muscles and metabolism, orthopedic shock absorbers. Even respiratory filters to guard against toxic gases.  (p. 8).Â
They emerge into a shuttle bay, to a rush of noise and traffic. Soon they are through and on the ground, a Dameisha street fragrant with meats and crickets on the grill, coconut candies, crepes and mochis and noodles. The temperature is balmy, a different season entirely, and Orfea’s overlays adjust to the district’s time zone. (p. 33).Â
Her overlays point her to the lift and then to the room. (p. 5).Â
