Changes

After establishing the Core, the rest of the Category 1 Machina's internal organs will be replaced with the standard internal organs common across all Machina Classes and Types, such as the M2 Nanomachine production organs in the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Breasts breasts] or the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Sex_Organs genitalia] of the Machina. It is also around this time, immediately after Core completion, that the M2 Nanomachines now circulating in the body will have rectified any damage or disease conditions they encountered in the host body, assuming it wasn't identified as being fatal during initial infection and therefore attended to sooner. As the essential Machina organs are being completed, the M2 Nanomachines will also begin restructuring the body into the shape of a beautiful woman regardless of the Machina's original biological sex. The body restructuring is primarily the result of the bones being converted into [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Machinium Machinium]. When the conversion of the bones is complete, the Machina will usually stand between 180cm and 220cm in height, excluding horns and built-in high-heels. All Machina from this point onward are futanari. Commonly, those who were female as humans gain retractile penises and generate cum from their ovaries, while male humans keep their testicles and thus have penises which are always external when becoming a Machina.

When the biomechanical organs are all complete and the body has restructured itself, the Machina's brain will be remade. As the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Brain brain] is converted to Machina biology, the Machina will grow [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Horns horns] which are her link to the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Behaviour#Clusters Cluster]. The Queen-class Machina in control of the Cluster will firstly download useful information from the developing Machina to herself, whilst deleting what she determines to be false, useless, or otherwise unnecessary information from the developing Machina's mind. Queens may also choose to remove the experiences of a memory, but allow the Machina to remember the events, such as with a trauma that is not deleted fully but instead kept as motivation.

The Queen-class Machina in control of the Cluster will firstly download useful information from the developing Machina to herself, whilst deleting what she determines to be false, useless, or otherwise unnecessary information from the developing Machina's mind. Queens have the ability to delete autobiographical memories, but the instances and reasons for this are rare and usually involve trauma. Some Queens may decide to let the Machina remember the event but not the attachment and feeling of the traumatic event, using it as a source of motivation or reason for the new Machina to seek revenge. Next, the Queen will custom-tailor the new Machina's thought patterns and neural pathways so that the new Machina's biomechanical brain is optimized for Machina thinking and processing, which has the added effect of removing any detrimental mental conditions that were present and not already addressed. Lastly, the Queen will upload a standardized database to the developing Machina containing factual knowledge and essential mental programming. When this programming is combined with the optimized Machina neural network, it ensures the newly-corrupted Machina thinks and acts in the ways that are most conducive to the survival and proliferation of the Machina and M2 Nanomachines. These things such as an unshakable sense of Machina supremacy and the prohibition towards endangering other Machina, which are possessed by all Machina. After these changes the original entity and their personality are still present at the core of the new Machina, since the process does not affect the original consciousness, but their behaviour will now be that of a Machina.

'''Note:''' Queens do not need to perform elaborate brainwashing or reprogramming on new Machina who have committed transgressions as humans. With their new perspective, processing power, and understanding, those who have committed transgressions generally become quite penitent of their own accord. If a Queen decides to take an active role, she simply uses her command authority to assign penances until she is satisfied.

If there is no Queen present to do these changes, the M2 Nanomachines in the developing Machina's body will carry out the mental changes, though they will be much less optimized. With these steps all complete, the Machina then ascends to Category 2.

== Note: What Happens When a Pregnant Woman or Child is Infected ==

Pregnant human women do not experience corruption exactly as outlined above. Because corrupting them fully into Machina could terminate their pregnancy, pregnant women infected with M2 instead experience a prolonged Category 1 development, where her reproductive organs are left alone. Her Core forms, skeleton is replaced, and her brain is remade as normal for Category 1. The woman will carry her baby to term, then finalize Category 1 development and proceed as normal. The child will carry M2 Nanomachines within themselves until they're physically mature.

Human children do not become Machina, the M2 Nanomachines must wait for the human to mature. M2 Nanomachines will assess if the body is ready, and wait in a dormant state if it is not. Even a baby born from a woman undergoing corruption will not be a Machina. Instead, the M2 Nanomachines will perform their most basic functions, such as assisting with the health of the human body, and wait on low-power setting until the body is mature before corruption can begin.

Human children do not become Machina due to their tumultuous internal environments. The M2 Nanomachines must wait for the human to mature into a proper adult. The M2 Nanomachines will instead perform their most basic functions, such as assisting with the health of the human body, and wait on low-power setting until the body is mature before corruption can begin.

Machina that capture human children keep them isolated and safe within their Hives. Their needs are tended to with minimal M2 Nanomachine exposure, and they are directly cared for by specialist Machina who have modest appearances and behave with human standards of dignity and kindness.
