Bionic/Prosthetic Eye - Warhammer 40,000 (Flux)

The crude bionic eye is a brutal, industrial relic of necessity over refinement, a hastily grafted, battle-worn replacement that tells a story of survival, suffering, and servitude to the Imperium. Its boxy, riveted frame juts harshly from scarred flesh, the plating corroded with age and streaked with the grime of war. The glowing crimson lens, flickering intermittently, is often misaligned or cracked, a barely functional augmentation that whirs and clicks with each movement. Exposed wiring and crude stitching betray the harsh, unsanctioned battlefield surgeries or the impersonal, mechanized installations of the Adeptus Mechanicus. More a mark of expendability than privilege, the crude bionic eye is a sign of a soldier deemed too valuable to waste but unworthy of a true cybernetic marvel. Whether bolted onto the scarred skull of a hardened Imperial Guard veteran, fused into the cranium of a penal legionnaire, or strapped onto a desperate underhive worker, it is a testament to resilience, a grim, mechanical eye that sees the Emperor’s light through a haze of static and iron.
