It's like them at the Silent Discos, if anyone looked in. Only... like Neo texts and the screen displays, they got body swapped. Murderbot hates the term, but it's the most succinct and technical term for it. Body swapped. Murderbot has had its consciousness duplicated before and isolated to have infectious code removed. It's flowed through into a gunship when the gunship asked for help. ART flowed through it into a shuttle to land it safely. All of those... were one way. Even if they were two way, 'body' swapped sounds so much more organic and squishy and gross. This body is fully organic and squishy and—

It focuses on the texts.

Something else.

It so doesn't want to be Neo. Murderbot wants to be itself. Suddenly, it happens again. Murderbot looks more like Murderbot, except colored like Neo. It looks down at its feet, but even the shoes have transformed? It looks at Neo and raises its arms for a moment.

Murderbot tries to send the text via its internal feed, but the transformation doesn't go that far. It huffs and types on the omni.

This!
