- ↑ Painless Doc Johnson: "{277}{}{I read something about that, too. It's not too hard to do if you've got the training. And the equipment.}"
The Chosen One: "{278}{}{Do you have what you need to perform the operations?}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{279}{}{Mostly. I have the skill and the training, but I don't have the implant material.}" The Chosen One: "{280}{}{So, what does that mean?}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{281}{}{That means that we'll just have to improvise. I think I can get what I need from a set of standard combat armor. I can take the concussive protection plates and also the thermal cells from the armor.}" The Chosen One: "{282}{}{That's great. So you can do it?}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{283}{}{Well, yes - but if I pack too much armor in, the patient sure isn't going to win any beauty prizes.}" The Chosen One: "{284}{}{I don't care about that; I just want the protection. What can you do, exactly?}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{285}{}{There are actually four different operations that can be performed. There's Dermal Impact Armor that protects against impact, and there's Phoenix Armor Implants that protects against heat. Then each one has an Assault Enhancement as well. You have to get the basic armor before you can get the Assault Enhancement.}" The Chosen One: "{288}{}{Tell me more about the implants. I think I may want you to operate on me.}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{290}{}{Which operation were you interested in?}" The Chosen One: "{292}{}{The Phoenix Armor Implant.}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{310}{}{According to the reports, Phoenix Armor Implants give you 5% resistance to thermal damage (fire, laser, and plasma) - over and above any other armor you're wearing. The operation takes a few days, one suit of Combat Armor (for the thermal-dissipative membranes), and it will cost you $8,000. Not to worry, though; this operation *should* create only minimal scarring - at least that's what I read.}" The Chosen One: "{311}{}{That sounds great, Doc. I sure won't have to worry about extra sunscreen after this.}" (...) Painless Doc Johnson: "{325}{}{That turned out rather well, I think. The Phoenix Armor implanted much more neatly than I would have thought it would. That burning and itching feeling will probably go away in a few weeks...once your innards get used to the fibers.}" (Painless Doc Johnson's dialogue)
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{211}{}{I found some combat implant schematics in the Vault City medical database. Could you perform the operation?}"
Doc Andrew: "{213}{}{Combat implants? What do you mean?}" The Chosen One: "{214}{}{Well, according to the schematics I saw, you can graft dermal plates and thermal dissipators to a person's skeleton using the following procedure...}" Doc Andrew: "{215}{}{Huh. Well, I suppose with help from the ol' Doctor I could do that operation. Course, I'd need some impact plates and dissipators first...might be able to pry some out of a suit of combat armor, if you can find one.}" The Chosen One: "{216}{}{Can you give me the information on some of the implants?}" Doc Andrew: "{220}{}{Heh! You're serious then, I see. Well, now, this is a risky venture. The Citizens find out I'm using the ol' Doctor for this, an' they'll take it right back.}" The Chosen One: "{221}{}{I see. How much for the implants?}" Doc Andrew: "{224}{}{Depends what you want. You want low impact, high impact, low thermal, or high thermal? Each one's got its price tag.}" The Chosen One: "{228}{}{Low thermal.}" Doc Andrew: "{266}{}{The Phoenix Impants take the bite outta fire, lasers and plasma burns...about 5%. I'll need to strip some combat armor for the thermal membranes, and it'll take two days for the operation. 10K oughta cover it.}" The Chosen One: "{267}{}{Sounds good. Here's the armor and the cash.}" (...) Doc Andrew: "{311}{}{Mercy...that was trial and error surgery if I ever saw it. I ended up having to amputate some of your nerve endings...that's the burning and itching sensation you're feeling right now. It'll probably fade in a few weeks.}" (Doc Andrew's dialogue)
- ↑ Vault 8 medical computer: "{144}{}{You spend almost an hour studying the archives. As you delve deeper into the database, you come across a series of older archives that contain schematics for some sort of 'combat implants.'}"
The Chosen One: "{145}{}{Study the implant information.}" Vault 8 medical computer: "{146}{}{The schematics detail an operation for grafting impact plates and thermal-dissipating membranes to a human skeleton, granting the subject resistance to physical trauma and heat. It looks like a complicated procedure.}" (VIMEDCOM.MSG)
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{394}{}{Do you know anything about dermal implants?}
Dr. Troy: "{341}{}{Yes, I'm familiar with them. It's an invasive procedure, where impact plates and thermal dissipator membranes are grafted to the skeleton to help protect against physical trauma and heat. Why do you ask?}" The Chosen One: "{343}{}{I ran across them in the Vault City medical database. Could you perform the operation on me?}" Dr. Troy: "{348}{}{No, I'm sorry... as I said, the implants are an invasive procedure and the recovery period is long and arduous. Patients undergoing the operation in the past have also frequently developed skeletal deformities.}" The Chosen One: "{349}{}{I'm willing to risk it. Can you do it anyway?}" Dr. Troy: "{350}{}{I would consider performing the operation only in the event of an emergency, not for the sake of convenience. The risk is too great, and the implants are not a substantial improvement over standard combat armor.}" (Dr. Troy's dialogue)
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{206}{}{What can you tell me about armor implants?}"
Doctor Fung: "{207}{}{I helped write the article on armor implants. All it takes is my expertise and your materials. What sort of implants do you desire?}" The Chosen One: "{208}{}{What sort are there?}" Doctor Fung: "{215}{}{We have dermal implants, which protect against concussive damage. If you like that work, we can add a single enhancement to it. We also have Phoenix implants, which protect against heat-based attacks, and which also have an upgrade available. If you’re interested in the upgrades, you will of course have to wait until the initial set has been installed. And before you ask, yes, you CAN have all four operations.}" (...) The Chosen One: "{219}{}{I'd like the Phoenix implants.}" Doctor Fung: "{229}{}{If you do not mind parting with $8500, a few days, and a set of combat armor, we can begin the operation now.}" The Chosen One: "{230}{}{Strap me down, doc. I’m ready to go.}" (Doctor Fung's dialogue)
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{229}{}{High thermal.}"
Doc Andrew: "{274}{}{Well, technically, 'high thermal' is standard Phoenix Armor with some thermal dissipators layered over the membranes.}" Doc Andrew: "{275}{}{So you're gonna need the basic Phoenix implant graft first.}" The Chosen One: "{276}{}{Okay, what's involved?}" Doc Andrew: "{280}{}{Well, I'm gonna need to scavenge thermal dissipators from another set of combat armor. Good thing is, the dissipators'll double the thermal resistance, absorbing 10% of the bite. But...}" The Chosen One: "{281}{}{Yes?}" Doc Andrew: "{285}{}{It's gonna make your skin blister. Bad. You'll look a lot like that bubbly pre-war packaging material, so don't expect to be getting too many dates after this. And it's gonna cost you. 50K. Up front.}" The Chosen One: "{286}{}{What the hell. Here's the cash...and another set of combat armor.}" (...) Doc Andrew: "{312}{}{I hope to heaven you can hear me right now. Look, when you regain feeling in your extremities, you'll feel an incredible itching sensation all over. Don't scratch! If you do, those pus-crusts over the drainage incisions'll burst and leave scars. Give 'em a few weeks to heal, okay?}" (Doc Andrew's dialogue)
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{220}{}{Time for the Phoenix upgrade.}"
Doctor Fung: "{232}{}{This is a major operation. It will cost you your 'good looks', a set of combat armor, and $49000. Are you willing to invest in this?}" The Chosen One: "{233}{}{Hell yes. Let's do it.}" Doctor Fung: "{237}{}{There you go! You are ... enhanced. Remember... do not pick at the scabs unless you want horrid scarring to add to your suddenly not-entirely-pleasing appearance.}" (Doctor Fung's dialogue)
- ↑ The Chosen One: "{294}{}{The Assault Enhancement for the Phoenix Armor Implants.}"
Painless Doc Johnson: "{316}{}{You need to have the Phoenix Armor Implants before I can give you the Assault Enhancement. But I'll tell you what it should do. The Assault Enhancement should give you a total of 10% resistance to thermal damage (fire, laser, and plasma) - over and above any other armor you're wearing. The operation takes a few days and it'll cost you $48,000. In addition, you're not going to be too Charismatic after I finish. Layering all those thermal dissipators under your skin is going to make you look a bit lumpy, sort of like an overstuffed burrito.}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{317}{}{The Assault Enhancement of the Phoenix Armor Implants should give you a total of 10% resistance to thermal damage (fire, laser, and plasma) - over and above any other armor you're wearing.

Cramming all those impact plates under your skin is going to make you look a bit lumpy, sort of like an overstuffed burrito. Ready to begin?}" The Chosen One: "{318}{}{That sounds great, Doc. Let's do it.}" Painless Doc Johnson: "{326}{}{Coming around, are we? You're just jam-packed with thermal-dissipators and dissipative membranes. You won't look quite so lumpy in a few weeks, but you won't be winning any beauty pageants again, either. Try not to pick at the pus-crusts near the drainage incisions until they stop suppurating.}" (Painless Doc Johnson's dialogue)
- ↑ The Courier: "I'd like the regenerating ability."
Usanagi: "That's the PHOENIX Monocyte Breeder. The implant speeds up cell regeneration, an effect similar to that of some lizards and sea creatures. The implant is very expensive, however - 12,000 caps." (Usanagi's dialogue)
- ↑ The Courier: "What kind of implants do you have available?"
Usanagi: "I have several basic implants available that can enhance your physical abilities - make you faster, smarter, stronger, that sort of thing. I've also got two much more expensive implants. One's a sub-dermal implant that will make you more resistant to damage. The other implant induces a mild regenerative effect. Your wounds will practically heal before your eyes." (Usanagi's dialogue)
