Neural-link cybernetic implants are the most complex cybernetic implants that the HFR implements for select job positions. A neural-link involves a nanobot mesh that interfaces between the human neural tissue and conventional electronics in the rest of the implant. This nanobot mesh adapts its form based on the minute changes in the user's nervous system, assisted by a small, onboard AI. This live structural adaptation maintains the user's neurological health and keeps the implant operating at maximum efficiency.
The neural-link is highly invasive and unwieldy to inexperienced users. Those who wear it undergo surgery, then six months of health monitoring afterwards. Another six months is then spent to train with the neural-link until full efficiency is achieved.
Due to the high physiological and time cost of the neural-link, the implant is reserved for jobs that require it the most. These consist of careers that require fast and discrete communication with other humans or drones. These careers include diplomats, special infantry forces, and drone operators onboard voidcraft, main battle tanks, and aircraft. Some scientists and engineers have also volunteered to take on the implant to improve their day-to-day work efficiency.
The cost of the implant is justified by the increased lifespan, and work years, of humans in the upper to middle class. These people have access to healthcare that allow them to work for 60 to 80 years, even reaching past a century before retirement.
