Style upgrade: They will be prompted to download a chip upgrade and once they accept it, the download will begin. It's painless, but they will have to tolerate having a 'downloading' pop-up cover his field of vision for at least an hour. While the download goes smoothly, they will find that their style upgrade glitches and changes their clothing every time they say something unpleasant to someone else. Is this a coincidence? It will last for a day.
Nanobot surgery:
They will be summoned to the medical bay by Dr. Spim and Alex. There, the procedure will be explained to them. They will be injected a few times with a nanobot serum and the nanobots will work quickly to remodel their body. The process can take several hours and involves the rapid destruction and reconstruction of the muscle fibers in their body. It will hurt, and beyond some soothing words offered by Alex, they will not be given any painkillers.
If they agree, the procedure will begin.
This procedure will leave them in debilitating pain for a day and completely delirious. Following that, they will experience frequent hallucinations - whether it's ghosts of their past, or imagining a friend as someone else, or reliving some traumatic event. Talking to others about how they are feeling and what they are seeing can soothe some of the effects. They will last for a few days.
Their newfound strength and sturdiness will be felt after the recovery period but it will take them some time to get used to it. They might run into a few mishaps where they misjudge their strength and break something they shouldn't or shakes someone's hand way, way too hard.
If anything needs changing, let us know. You can assume that both effects are happening separately or at the same time.
