=== Proto-Machina ===
Proto-Machina can be thought of as having no Class at that particular time. This occurs during a certain set of circumstances where expedience is needed for Machina development. In these situations, the Machina are prevented from developing more than the bare essentials so their development is faster, but otherwise develop from Category 1 through to Category 3 as normal. This can be ordered by a Queen whose situation necessitates new forces as soon as possible, or may be triggered by [[Outbreak Protocol]]. Once the situation improves, the Proto-Machina will be released from the restrictions and allowed to develop the equipment she would naturally have.

== 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 remade as normal for Category 1. The woman will carry her baby to term, then finalize Category 1 development and proceed as normal.
Human children do not become Machina, the M2 Nanomachines must wait for the human to mature. As outlined above, 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 function, assisting with the health of the human body, and wait until the body is big enough and progressing into at least adolescence before corruption can begin.
