The Mosaic Organ Operation, commonly abbreviated as the M.O. Operation, is a surgery to forcefully re-engineer the human body to survive in the Martian Atmosphere. It has a survival rate of roughly 67%. Women appear to be more compatible with the surgery than men, though it's never specified why. If the surgery is a success, the individual has obtained a Mosaic Organ with the DNA of a compatible organism. Taking a type of drug will bring out the abilities gained through the Mosaic Organ to make the individual capable of facing against the Terraformar race on Mars. The drug's form varies from an injection, a drinkable liquid, a tablet, various smoking devices, a powder, a patch, or even as chewing gum. The crustacean drug has to be smoked as an injection would be difficult with bullet proof skin and because a crustacean's respiratory system holds onto substances (such as water) quite well.
The Type Red Operation was a surgery done to all Chinese members that had the MO Operation to give them the ability to use whatever base organism they had while un-transformed.
Inherited Mosaic Organs[]
If a baby from an individual post-surgery of either the Bugs Procedure or the M.O. Operation there is a chance the offspring will have been born with a Mosaic Organ. The offspring will have a 100% success rate in the MO Operation, and will carry over the DNA of the parent. Two examples of successfully inherited Mosaic Organs are Michelle K. Davis and Akari Hizamaru. An example of a child not inheriting the Mosaic Organ would be Adolf Reinhard's child, though it should be noted the child wasn't actually his.
