As biomechanic enhancements and therapy became common for reconstructive purposes in the Viridian system, so did they become fashion accessories for certain subcultures, and by 7th millenium syvp the choices in “augmentation” were varied and wide enough that Dagmar Yvensk, a municipal maintenance worker and kriegball draftee, was able to integrate the modules that she considered optimal for scrum, after serving as a Kriegsman-Regular at Pamekan State College at Marsa.

Although a native of Viridia, Yvensk signed with the Vermailian Evyl Eyethorns, saying the different training conditions suited her altered biology. She also professed a profound love of Vermailian cuisine. Her first seasons as a substitute were uneven, as she fine-tuned her biogments, especially the retractable utilitools and weapons. However, in her fourth year with the Eyethorns, she compiled an amazing record in scrum, astonishing many with her facility sans surrogate. Success followed for several years, although she gave a good deal of the money to Equallary Rights Activists.

Maintenance on her modules proved too much of a strain on her body over time, and Yvensk retired several years early to work in coaching, in which she compiled a 46–43 record among four teams (Byforalla Boneozarchs, Marsan Mice, Setop Scots, and Nanana’s Nanana).
