<Heeey buddy, you got a new mesh-mail!> Mossburg spoke up as his owner was busy in his apartment chopping up veggie-material blocks. The grey gargoyle-looking glider dicing the green block into workable bits.
"Who's it from? It an open line?" <Nope! One way, from ...Someone on Titan Auto Uni...Huh.> Sliding the almost cheese-like dices into a broth pot, David washed his taloned hands as he read the letter off his entropic.
"Huh ...Not sure why they would want me for a 'stack recovery, I think they just want to keep it in-house and are really reaching? ...I can't abide by a lost and trapped soul. Moss, can you get in contact with my insurgence clinic?"<Sure thing guy, I'll see if they can't contact Locus' facilities and send you a catalog of morphs they got on stock.> Giving a nod in appreciation, David let his muse work as he finished making his dinner...

His senses swimming, Bennett looked over a rough abstraction of a 'view' of his schedule planner while inhabiting an infomorph server at a Noctis body bank clinic, just having put his glider on ice, locked up his flat. Told the building's AI how long he expected to be gone and other travel affairs, just sorting out the last details.
<Alright boss, you should be shipped out here in a few minutes, trip's going to be about an hour and the bandwidth is reserved ...you sure on the Neo-av body?> Mossburg spoke up as he kept in touch with the staff minding and preparing the farcast.
<It's close to my normal body I should have an easy time adjusting, right?><Good point- alright we're about to be packaged and sent in three ...two ...on---
Intergration, Normal successAlienation, Exellent failurex2"Mister Bennet ...Mister Bennet, we're seeing active brain activity. You should be sleeved properly, can you wake up for me?" Letting out a whimpering, chirped grunt, David rolled over and sat up, looking over his new appendages, while he had resleeved before, this had only been his fourth time; and had been for the past few months. Sitting slump on the cot
the man-sized red hawk moved his "Arms" around in a shrug and tried to stand. Sitting back down quickly as if light headed and giving his new legs a flex before looking up at the doctor tending to him. A black haired man of prime age(Who's morph wasn't?) looking over his senses with a medical scanner before beaming.
"Welcome awake Doctor Bennett, my name's Doctor Mathus, you know we rarely get human egos sleeveing into uplift bodies, even then most uplifts prefer smaller sizes, how are you feeling?" Touching his hands together, David gave his body a literal feel for itself as he blinked one eye at a time.
"A little ...Out of place, I guess this body wasn't as similar as I thought it'd be...""A thing we hear every day, you really don't know how a new somatic map will effect you until you jump right in, so to speak..." Helping his patient up, he put an arm around David's new shoulder to help walk him into the lobby.
"Neurologically you check out and sleeved into the body fine so there's no real cause for concern, and your insurance covers the rental cost and down payment for the body. We still ask though that you don't lose it for obvious reasons..." The large bird of prey nodding along as he spoke until they came to the front doors that led into the hab.
"If that's everything, you are set to go, enjoy Locus! I'm sure you'll love the main attraction!" Before Bennett was left on his own, looking around the rocky surface of the section he was in silently. Still mentally adjusting to his new environment.
<You know we got at least a day before the meeting, we should go do something!> Mossburg finally spoke up.
