With no need for her natural airways, and no ability to even breathe air through her nose, long nose plugs are inserted into Alexandra’s nostrils. These plugs extend from the entry of her nose all the way into her nasal cavity, reaching the very outset of her throat where they make contact with the massive gag.
Once fully inserted, each plug is inflated with the biocompatible polymer that solidifies into a permanent structure, effectively filling any remaining voids within Alexandra’s nasal passages. This polymer is formulated to expand and fuse intensely with her surrounding tissue, creating a seamless bond that integrates deeply with her nasal cavity, and making them completely irremovable.
This blockage removes any sense of physical smell for Alexandra, making her dependent for another sense on Lumina’s simulation through brain implant. Any kind of sense or taste is now completely done through a simulation by the neural connection.
