#Mesh Login: Fixer# Hello there. I couldn't help but see your post requesting help. As someone who's sleeved into quite a few morph, including exotic ones, I know that integrating can be rather though. The first thing you should look in is if the patches have been applied correctly. When sleeving, what can be called mental patches are applied, which helps with the integration process, such as removing old reflexes. I do know that some lower end resleeving clinics can skip on them as they don't want to pay for any licences or they don't care. If they haven't been used, get them, now. You can find some on Open source libraries if you're not ready to spend for the high end ones. How high are your sensory feedback settings? People tend to forget that they are adjustable on synthmorph, which helps acclimating to the different perception range (Such as being covered in cameras or chemo-receptors) By what you say, your setting might be very low. As for the gender thing, you get used to it. Although I am myself rather gender fluid when it come to sleeving, the shock of different body parts and bio-chemisty (or lack thereof) remains. A slithernoid was probably not the best choice for a first sleeve. It is usually easier to start with human-shaped morph as they are closer to what people are used to. I'm personally not a fan of them, as they are rather slow and cumbersome.

The patches won't alter who you are, they temporarily inhibit certain feelings and reflexes; blinking, breathing as well as lower the feelings of dysphoria until they are easily manageable and you are no longer struggling with continuity issues. They're normally applied automatically at most clinics but as I said, some of them 'forget' to put them. Synthmorph takes more time to get used to, but once you do, they're just as comfortable as meat to wear, if not more due to the removal of certain bad experiences. If you really can't handle it but you still need to be in a robotic body, get a synth mask. You get the ability to do everything you normally do in flesh-and-blood morphs; Sex, breathing, drinking and etc. Then there's also the option of going through psychosurgery, but a lot of people are uncomfortable with that prospect.

Huh. Seems like you are a bit time-deprived, but well done for asking. Way too many people try tough it out and then trip over themselves when the shit hits the fan. Pro tip: don't do this. Your teammates will be really, really pissed off if they are lucky enough remember it. I was grown into the metal myself, but I've worked with a lot of organic-origin egos who have had to sleeve into synths. The main thing is always the sensorium, you don't have the inherent fuzziness inherent in biomorph senses, so right now your mind is trying to do its normal organic trick of imagining what it can't see- but that is clashing with the fact that your pixel-perfect eyes actually can actually see everything. Multiply that by the number of senses you have online. Fastest way I've seen people get over that is to sleep on it. No, really. Right now you have probably been online since you sleeved, and why not? Metal doesn't get tired; we're awesome like that. But your ego isn't optimized for on-the-fly feedback integration (unless you get some sweet psychosurgical hacks, but you don't have time right now). Download a reliable sleep-emulator, exercise using all your senses and limbs, and run the program. Should take about 10 minutes, and your ego should integrate a chunk of your morph's functionality. Good luck down there, and take note of your morph's system status- you're not going to feel pain, so you're not going to notice damage immediately.
