Changes

Category 1 refers to humans who have been infected with M2 Nanomachines but are yet to show [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology?venotify=created#Equipment external signs] of their biomechanical nature. When a human is injected with M2 Nanomachines, there is a brief amount of time where the infection can be cured by overwhelming the M2 Nanomachines with something to counter their numbers and destroy them. However, the first priority of the M2 Nanomachines is to create the [[Machina Biology|Core]] within the infected person's chest. Once the Core is established, the infected person is virtually incurable, and they are now referred to as a Category 1 Machina.

Once the Core is established, the infected person is virtually incurable, and they are now referred to as a Category 1 Machina.

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 breasts or the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology?venotify=created#Sex_Organs genitalia] of the Machina. 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. Commonly, male humans keep their testicles when becoming a Machina. The body restructuring is primarily the result of the bones being converted into [[Machina Biology|Machinium]]. When the conversion of the bones is complete, the Machina will usually stand between 180cm and 220cm in height, excluding horns and heel-struts. When the biomechanical organs are all complete and the body has restructured itself, the Machina's brain will be remade. As the brain is converted to Machina biology, the Machina will grow [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology?venotify=created#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 download useful information from the developing Machina to herself, whilst deleting what she determines to be useless or otherwise unnecessary information from the developing Machina's mind. Next, the Queen-class Machina will upload a standardized database to the developing Machina containing factual knowledge and programming, which is installed in place of the Machina's original factual memories. Lastly, the Queen will apply a custom-made set of thought processes, like an operating system image, to the developing Machina’s mind so that she thinks like a Machina. After these changes the original entity and their personality are still present but the former-human has become corrupted into thinking and acting like a Machina. If there is no Queen present to do these changes, the M2 Nanomachines in her body will carry out the mental changes, though they will be much less optimized. The Machina then ascends to Category 2.

Ascending to Category 4 causes the new Queen to overwrite the [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/M2_Nanomachines#Cluster_Code Cluster-Code] of her M2 Nanomachines with her own, new Cluster-Code. Anything the new Queen corrupts will inherit her new Cluster-Code and subsequently belong to her. They can then spread her Cluster-Code to others, bringing them under the new Queen's control as well.

They can then spread her Cluster-Code to others, bringing them under the new Queen's control as well.

In terms of strength, the difference between Category 4 and Category 3 is the same as a Category 3 compared to a human. Similarly, Queens possess exponentially more processing power than a normal Category 3 Machina, who is already a biomechanical quantum supercomputer. Other traits exclusive to Category 4 Machina are the Queen's third eye and her [[Throne]]. The third eye is an external indication that the Queen’s brain has developed the processing power to be the main server of the Cluster. With her vast processing power and authority from her Cluster-Code, she is able to command her Cluster and learn everything her subordinates experience. A Throne is the Category 4 Machina's equipment. It contributes power to the Queen-class Machina, rather than needing power from the Machina, and will also grant her powerful abilities. Thrones can be either Fusion-type, where they're still permanently fused to the Machina, or Vehicle-type, where they're large enough to act as a vehicle for the Queen and can be separated from her at will. Vehicle-type Thrones have a larger capacity for generating power and possess more abilities, but the Queen loses these when separated. All Category 4 Machina have access to Gyno Mode by default. Where they differ from Category 3 Machina is their ability to maintain Gyno Mode indefinitely.

There are a handful of unique circumstances that cause non-standard development cycles for Machina. Immature humans and humans corrupted in the absence of a Queen are known to cause some deviations to what is described above. For more information, see PLACEHOLDER and PLACEHOLDER.
