Personnel with exceptionally high tolerance to RM Nanomachines can be promoted as far as Rank A. Members of this Rank are either extremely important executives of REPAIR operations, such as heads of entire programs or bases, or they are elite Agents. In either event, the body of a Rank A member is more than 50% cybernetic, and approximately 80% of all members are futanari. This lack of human parts weakens the ability of the body to regulate the RM inside it, causing Rank A personnel to require frequent diagnostics and maintenance of their bodies. A team of cybernetic technicians and doctors are needed wherever Rank A personnel are stationed to carry out these maintenance overhauls.

Historically, Rank A personnel were incapable of being augmented beyond 60% of their bodies being replaced, due to the instability of the RM with such little biology around them to moderate them. With the closing of the Jupiter campaign came a breakthrough in that area, derived by reverse-engineering an Agent, codenamed 'Icy White', who had been designed by the former director of REPAIR. When the director was lost, the remaining leadership of REPAIR did their best to study not just Icy White's cybernetics, but the altered biology and biotech that went into her creation. The result is a comprehensive overhaul program for those who are going beyond 50% cybernetics, dubbed the Deep Organic Modification, Intensive Nanomachine Application and Technological Evolution, or DOMINATE. The first successful Agent from Project DOMINATE, Agent Miranda, achieved 80% cybernetic replacement, with the remaining organic tissues modified accordingly to regulate her RM.

Other problems for Rank A personnel exist, such as the fact that their bodies often produce so much RM that their breath contains clouds of RM Nanomachines. Due to this, it is very difficult for Rank A personnel to mingle with unprotected humans. When leaving bases, Rank A personnel often need to wear gas masks and almost always wear their standard-issue suits beneath any other clothing. Another issue with Rank A personnel is that their minds are often permanently warped to some extent, due to the very high amounts of RM Nanomachines in their bodies. Rank A personnel experience decreased inhibitions, and high amounts of sexual exhibitionism and sometimes aggression. To the public, Rank A personnel would appear markedly perverted. As a result, it is much easier for Rank B personnel to deal with public affairs.

=== Project FEMBOI ===
There is a very-high-importance project within REPAIR called the Biological Overhaul Initiative, which developed the Fractional Enhancement Method to alter males to such an extent that they can safely be augmented with RM Nanomachines and possibly become Agents. It is commonly referred to as Project FEMBOI (Fractional Enhancement Method, Biological Overhaul Initiative), and at this stage only a very small handful of males have been successfully treated by these custom-tailored, highly-experimental procedures being developed by the program for each experimental subject. The successful experiments result in male REPAIR personnel who are sufficiently 'female' enough in terms of their body chemistry and other factors, which prevents the RM Nanomachines within them from malfunctioning. The lesser, male Agents created by the program are still a welcome asset to REPAIR commanders, who use them for lower-priority missions such as scouting. This leaves more capable, and valuable, female Agents free to perform more important missions such as disruptive raids.
=== DANIELIS 7 Project ===
The mega-corp DANGUN, seeking any edge it can get over the juggernaut that is URIS Industries, also entered into developmental partnership with REPAIR. Its first program was designed to improve the effectiveness of Rank B Agents, and weaken URIS' influence on REPAIR by lessening the need for Rank A Agents, which URIS has exclusive access to. The project is called 'DANIELIS 7' and the key innovations of it are the addition of animalistic cybernetics, neural pathways, and networking together the participating Rank B Agents. Such Agents are outfitted with agility and lethality increasing cybernetics, such as digitigrade legs for enhanced running and jumping, feline and canine-style cybernetic ears containing sensor suites, or pop-out thermal blades along with neural enhancements to fight Machina in melee. While alone these modifications may be of dubious effectiveness, the Agents are appropriately programmed with matching animal instincts and networked together to form a pack of hunters capable of taking down Machina more effectively.
