If Aidan was being honest with himself, coming here had made him so nervous that if he was so much as given a shove in the wrong direction he might spill his lunch. Not that he'd been able to eat, but he still felt as if he was walking into what could very well be something he'd never come out of. Regardless of his own nerves, he had a set of instructions he knew he needed to follow and that was something he wouldn't deviate from.
He'd already been told the procedure and the arrangements had been tediously put in place for him, the few Doctors that were called here were brought purely to assist him should something go wrong, it wasn't as if he was entirely alone in this, so at least he had that to console himself with.

Everyone here was incredibly professional, every Doctor knew their duties, every item had been arranged and nothing was out of place. The room of the operation theater was immaculate, pristinely tiled and of the utmost sterility. Aidan almost felt dirty given how clean everything around him had been.
"Knight Reeves. We're ready for you, please take a seat until the donor arrives." All he could make out of the Doctor was honestly their white coat and the fact that they were glaringly female in figure and in voice, not of the current mindset to look up at their face or observe anything else about them.



He could only continue to repeat the line over and over in his head, trying to bring himself comfort in the moment as the scanners in the form of rings upon this very bed began to examine him even before the procedure could begin, the donor hadn't entered the room but soon enough one of the nurses re-entered holding a syringe in their hand, what they did with it, he couldn't see. But he knew they'd start at any moment now. This rings fixed themselves in two locations to give his Doctors a clear view of what would happen internally, so if something did go wrong it wouldn't go by without their notice.

Turning his head to the left just as he began to hear the equipment prepared and nearing the start of the procedure, he noticed an imposing long pane of black observation glass, no doubt hiding figures of importance behind it whom he could only wonder about what they they found interesting in his particular case. That sharp sting shook him from his thoughtful state, the pain now was minor compared to what would come, but when the room was set alight and he felt the tremendous pain, he knew it had begun and it would only continue to grow worse before it got any better, practically blacking out before he could even so much as scream.
He could feel himself changing inside just as the light died out, his request granted as one set of nanites killed him atomically and this new activated set restored what had been killed off, albeit differently. This would be a process he'd have to get used to, but for the sake of efficiency, it was better he went through it now. It was better he toughed out the process of the change and never looked back, to never be under someone's boot again or scarred by abuse. At least nothing his body simply couldn't repair and improve now.
