Introduction

One of the greatest inventions to come from University of Oxford in 2025 was the Internal Cranial Electronics or ICE. The development placed a nano-scale computer system at the base of the human brain in the pons area. This computer was connected by nano thin gold wires to human cybernetic systems, completely replacing the old, external computer systems required previously.

The breakthrough was made when it was discovered that nanite receptors could move through the brain without causing any damage and repair broken neuron links. Originally the project was about improving degenerative cognitive and mobility functions. The nanite could search for and find these damaged areas and then call specialist repair nanite that could install new artificial neurons. This was a great success and in human trials was 100% effective.

As the project progressed it was questioned whether the human brain be 'upgraded'?

The first experiment was adding 3D printed artificial eyes, then audio, then increased memory. All were successful. Eventually leading to the latest ICE-5 hardware installed in to almost every commonwealth citizen.

General

The ICE central computer is grown internally at the base of the brain. usually installed at 12 years of age but can be much later.

  • ICE-1 linked just the brain and many cybernetic parts
  • ICE-2 added increased memory and Wi-Fi connectivity
  • ICE-3 was the first commercially available ICE system. It enabled internet connection, downloadable applications, and recreational software.
  • ICE-4 cleared the serious security issues with brain tapping and added the neural network which included credit and banking transfer via implants in the left thumb
  • ICE-5 is the latest version with many updates, greater security, apps, internal holographic communications, Wi-Fi, and personal credit transfer with duress protection.

Apps

Essentially, ICE is a modern version of a tablet/phone/personal computer. It can run a variety of programs or applications in much the same way as windows or android could.

Advertising

ICE wet-wear is also used for street advertising. As you walk through high streets and shopping centres the shops near you will place advertising directly on to your ICE vision, enticing the potential shopper with deals and discounts. This can be deactivated if required using some spam software.

Specialist ICE Wet-wear

Law Enforcement

Police in Great Britain have the task of protecting the UK citizens from criminal activity. Police ICE wet-wear has many advantages over the standard ICE-5 civilian set-up. One of the most important applications in the Police ICE is its facial recognition and identification ability that enables suspects to be quickly identified, witnesses statements taken, and queries through the PNC database carried out. Fingerprints can also be taken using palm readers ensuring quick identification.

Military

ICE wet-wear revolutionised the military system in Great Britain. The ICE system connects to the soldiers equipment and tactical databases. This allows for the sharing of target identification and location, the ability to call in air and artillery support, Medical analysis and monitoring, and silent command and control systems. Connections within the palms can connect with the soldiers rifle enabling sighting around corners and from behind cover. The system can enable the weapons safety and fire control systems and improve target acquisition and firing solutions.

For vehicles the ICE can be used as a neural virtual reality (NVR). The view around the craft can be superimposed directly to the operators. This is a far superior system than direct video feeds and windows and is less susceptible to damage. Hard links via gloves and collar provide for reduced EMF emissions and thus better emissions control.
