Kohaku: Alright. There's obviously installing your CPU wholesale into a brand new untouched CPU, but it's a chance that the you that exists now would become hidden program inside of a new persona created to keep you moving forward. Not ideal, but you'll definitely survive it.

Second is doing something to what miss Blues did, putting the contents of your CPU into a brand new body. Downside being you might end up like miss Blues if something ends up tampering with the form. Or other issues, such as being mentally unable to adjust to the physical differences.

Third is putting your cpu into what I'll call a "data chamber" for simplicty's sake, where I upload you into a completely isolated and protected portable device. It'll convert all of your data and memories into something that matches the new cpu that would be installed so you can be sure that you come out as completely intact as possible. It could potentially give you holes in your memory if there are areas of your programming that are corrupted, but it's what I'd say is the "safest".

Joe: I'd like to explore option two, but with a body from my universe, or close to my universe.

Kohaku: Alright, we can definitely do that. Thankfully, since you're built from the original template of the Sniper Joe, transferring your CPU wholesale into a new body should have far greater compatibility than most other places have.

-It looks like an online store. From Mega Man's dimension-

Kohaku: Go over it. We got plenty of time here.

...Also because I need to do something.

-She goes over to the door and slides a piece of paper underneath the crack-

I can see you standing out there staring at the door.
It's creepy.

Kohaku: Honestly, Joe is fine at the moment. The problem is that there's a strong chance he won't be fine very soon, so we're heading this off at the pass.

And are you sure, Joe? Because those kinds of platforms operate on completely different mental principles, so the differences might be a bit extreme depending on how recent you want to go.

-As she talks, Kohaku shoves a tiny box under the door-

Kohaku: That is true. But we'd need to make some necessary upgrades to your CPU unless you want to risk instability.

Kohaku: Avoiding the dangers of paradoxical questions, for one thing. Certain moral and existential qualities. Particular processes that require a degree of reactive thinking not found on a model your age.

Basically, a lot of things that mimic human thought processes more closely.


-The box contains...a fidget spinner-

-The operator's warframe twitches slightly, showing some irritation. Her stare instead changes into a gaze with some mild ill-intent...-

Kohaku: It won't be easy, obviously, but if you want to upgrade to a reploid body, that's something you'd need to do, either before or after. Because if you don't take precautions your mind might start trying to patch any resulting holes with unwanted programs or predilections you don't want.

Kohaku: I mentioned that "data chamber" before. While we could do that, there's another way. Basically exposing it to you very slowly via continuous exposure in small doses.

...Also known as watching videos of these concepts till your intelligence adapts a crude enough form of them to safely fit your brain into the reploid.
