It's been a few days. I entered some kind of fugue state, Jen was crying and asking me to eat but I knew I could do it. I can feel my brain so clearly now - clear enough to digitize it. I've built a body using my half-finished projects and some of the drone tech I was waiting on.
All that's left is the skin. I don't think this will hurt. I just need to make sure Jen doesn't see.

The system is initialized. I am typing this by thinking it after plugging in to the computer. I used most of my old organic matter in my new body as well, in specific places - the skin is real, as is the hair. I need to get rid of the rest, though. It's a good thing I already have the materials needed to melt a body down, and a good reason to be getting rid the sludge. Times like these I'm quite glad for my position. After I'm done with that, I'll perform further testing on these systems.

I can see better, and my body is a lot more resistant and strong. I didn't realize at first but my design included retractable weapons in my hands. I can't wait for the day when I'm able to recreate this kind of thing, but the blueprints are slipping from my head even now. I hope there isn't a problem with data loss...
I'll run more tests. Start working on backups.

I re-visited Maikendo after making the improvements to my processing power and my limbs - both came in incredibly handy! They functioned exactly as I was hoping they would, letting me reach up on top of bookshelves and use my new stronger body to tie down some raccoons, and later helping me search carefully through a building without over-heating as I did in my last contract. The problem I ran into today is my ability to take a hit, however! I went in with Mr. Kind and we met one other person there who seemed to be following different rules from us, but Mr. Kind had gotten a sartorial upgrade since our last meeting. After he saw me get pelted by a sub-machine gun and almost pass out, he let me in on his secret - he knows a tailor that can make reinforced clothes. After we finished the bonus levels he called me up in the real world and introduced me, so I was able to get a reinforced lab coat to help with any further danger. We've made an alliance - to share our resources to strengthen us both. Him, using his strange arcane powers, and me with my penchant for technology that has surpassed what was previously possible since I started this "Job".
I look forward to what we can accomplish together.
She will never end world hunger. But she helped mitigate it as well as she could while she lived.
