Their lungs were lined with a polymer that enhances oxygen intake and allows them to process toxins or foreign gas mixtures; for example, they are capable of breathing [[methane]] for around an hour. The bacteria in their intestines were altered to help them get more nutrients out of the food they eat. Their pancreas' were replaced by a completely new, vat-grown organ.
