Chapter 4: Gundam G – No Longer Human
"Now this is a real cheat ability. Hey, System, just a moment ago my whole body was aching and I felt awful—how come I'm perfectly fine now?"
"Host, the nano-suit has been influenced by external factors and has undergone a reinforced upgrade.
It now possesses healing functions, and your bloodline has also been partially affected. Please check your status panel for details."

"Ah… mutated Nano Body, and it's even got DG Cell traits. I'm not even human anymore—I've really turned into a mechanical skeleton soldier."
Tolle Koenig immediately checked if his younger brother was still there. After seeing that he was, he sighed in relief.
"Good thing my little brother's still here. At least my gender didn't change. Feels like I still have flesh and blood, so I guess it's fine."
"System, what exactly am I now? This won't affect my future permissions upgrades, will it?"
"Host, you are not dead—only your bloodline has changed. There is no problem.
High-level beings are not necessarily human. Evolution naturally involves mutations."
"Well, that's fine then. I've been beaten down by society enough times that I can handle this much.
At least I'm not contagious. Otherwise, I'd end up destroying all life in the world.
Wait a second—if the nano-suit can infect and assimilate, isn't that the same thing? That'd be a disaster."
"Host, the infection ability of the nano-suit is under your control and functions as an active skill.
If you don't use it, it won't infect. Even after infection, you can recall the assimilation state. Please use it with confidence."
"Oh, okay… well, that works. I'll just let things take their course. At least I won't have to worry about my mobile suit anymore.
Right now, my main task is to get out of this hellhole."
"If Domon Kasshu shows up, I'll get wrecked. And I'm running low on food too.
Although… I don't feel hungry. That's gotta be the mutated DG Cells at work. I really am turning into a robot."
"Please rest assured, Host. The majority of your body remains human. The DG Cells are only a minor part and can be compatible with other bloodlines.
It's like those nanomites you saw in that special forces movie—you can devour metal, heal wounds, and even read other people's memories."
"Wait, I can do that? Read other people's memories? System, does the person whose memories I read die afterward?"
"Host, it's your choice. You can repair their brain cells after reading, in which case they won't die.
Alternatively, you can implant false memories. If you don't repair them, there's a small chance it could cause brain death."
"Uh… that's pretty evil. But I like it, hehe.
At least I'll never have to worry about language barriers wherever I go. Still, I should use it sparingly. Gotta have some kind of moral bottom line.
Anyway, enough talk—time to run for my life."

Tolle Koenig glanced at the Devil Gundam. It was way too strong—he had no chance of taking it head-on. He could only quietly sneak away, following the other DG skeleton soldiers.
He didn't know where they were headed, but his priority was to get out of what seemed like some kind of incubation chamber.
One by one, the DG skeleton soldiers mounted mono-eyed Death Army units. Gritting his teeth, Tolle climbed into one as well, leaving the base with them.
Once outside, he hung back, slowly falling behind the group. When he felt the timing was right, he slipped away.
"This thing counts as a mobile suit, right? I wonder if I can assimilate it… worth a try. Nano-suit, begin assimilation."
[Command received… Beginning assimilation… Assimilation complete… Disguising information.]
"Hah, so it works. Still, always calling you 'nano-suit' is weird. We'll be together for life, so you need a proper name.
How about… 'Nami'? And set your virtual avatar to Nami from One Piece.
If you can create a humanoid form when independent, that'd be even better."
Tolle Koenig began drooling at the thought. (Everyone knows Nami from One Piece—easy on the eyes.)
[Master, Nami acknowledges.]
"Whoa, that's quick—and smart.
Alright, can we change the appearance of this unit? The Death Army design is ugly as hell.
At the very least, make it look like a ZAFT GINN. As long as it's mono-eyed, I should blend in fine.
Turning it into a Gundam would be a problem if I brought it back—the Earth Alliance and Orb just finished building theirs. If I suddenly had one, it'd cause all kinds of trouble."
"Nami, disguise it as a flight-capable GINN.
Make it yellow for now, and we'll switch back later.
Add a beam rifle on top of the existing weapons… that makes it look like Miguel's custom GINN. Perfect—let's go with that.
Save this form for when we head back."

"You can directly read from my memories? And I didn't even notice it happening. Well, I guess I'm not exactly normal anymore.
So the cockpit's still the man-machine integration type from Gundam G? At least it's easy to pilot.
Alright, this'll do. Let's head out. I'll look for more suits to assimilate along the way so I can freely customize later. I'll swap to a standard cockpit once we're back."
