REPAIR personnel are mainly female due to the necessities involved with the [[RM Nanomachines|REPAIR Multipurpose (RM) Nanomachines]] that are used to resist Machina infection. Potential conscripts are scouted using mandatory population-wide testing for RM compatibility. Due to the necessity of the RM Nanomachines for protection of personnel from [[M2 Nanomachines]], RM compatibility heavily influences the prospects of a conscript's service. Once conscripted and properly indoctrinated, REPAIR personnel are assigned their positions and tasks within REPAIR's hierarchy according to the areas of service they are most likely to excel at. Because of this, REPAIR conscripts women with RM potential and requisitions research from established scientists if needed. When a member of REPAIR is assigned a new position they are augmented in accordance with the needs of the new position, becoming more augmented as they advance. Again, this has the effect of creating the personnel they need rather than having to look for members of the population with the skills they need. From the position they are assigned to, the member's Rank is established. | REPAIR personnel are mainly female due to the necessities involved with the [[RM Nanomachines|REPAIR Multipurpose (RM) Nanomachines]] that are used to resist Machina infection.
