Game Effects: +1D to Strength and Dexterity once per day lasting 2 D/6 rounds. It may also pump steroids and adrenaline into the first, primary heart to give the Astartes an extra "rush" of energy on the battlefield. The Secondary Heart increases blood supply and pumping capacity and is capable of taking over entirely should the primary heart fail. Secondary Heart (The Maintainer) - This is the first and least difficult implant to install. The full list of 19 gene-seed organs, presented in the order in which they must be implanted within a Space Marine Neophyte, is as follows: In general, most Space Marine Chapters prefer to begin the process sometime between the ages of 10 and 14 years. However, a gene-seed organ implantation procedure done at this late stage in the boy's growth will as likely kill him as not.
The gene-seed organs must be implanted into an adolescent human male for the process to have the greatest chance of success no later than his 16th year, though it is medically possible to begin the process as late as 18 years of age before full growth has been reached in the early 20's. Amongst the crucial implants are the Interface, better known as the Black Carapace, and the Progenoid Glands, without which a Chapter would die out fairly quickly. Many Chapters have lost the knowledge needed to culture new versions of some of these implants, and therefore, must ensure this gene-seed is recovered from dead Battle-Brothers. Each implant has a high margin of catastrophic failure and physiological rejection and so only a small number of Neophytes live to become Initiates of the Chapter and enter the 10th Company as Scout Marines. Nineteen genetically-engineered organs grown from the Chapter's gene-seed are implanted in a Neophyte's body to further bolster his combat and survival ability should he live to become a full Battle-Brother and Initiate of the Chapter.
