'Item No.8'

FuTech delivered. It's a bit scary to see this version of myself and how easy it was for them to reproduce the aging progress. It took them a few days at most, I think? Uh, whatever. I started the groundwork for configuring this android. 'Amp' keeps yapping about the risks. Temporal dissociation, sensory overload and synapse burnout. A few hours into this discussion and we've come to two conclusions: I can't operate the android and my own frame at the same time. That causes sensory overload and it will burn my brain. The second one comes down to my cybernetic frame. I need to advance the conversion from 93,45% to 94,55%.

I need to integrate special connectors that make the experience much easier to handle and over longer distances. In addition to that I'll need an upgraded cortex chip. Fortunately I've got both at my disposal and surgery is scheduled for tonight. Followed by recovery time of...maybe 5 hours? That also implies separate medication. Hmm- no. Screw it. I'm doing the surgery a few minutes after I'm done with this log. I can't wait anymore. I don't care if 'Amp' hasn't finished the program. We'll figure this out on the go - as we always did. Having the upgrades readily available should speed things up. A lot.

How long has it been? Five? Six? It's been too long since I've last seen myself in the mirror. The real me. Not anymore. It'll be over soon.
