Having an onboard passenger, even one remotely connected to her, had been an experience. It helped that Catherine maintained their boundaries and everything was simpler and efficient when she could call on the other AI to assist. Training routines and weapon modifications had become trivial with another processor and mind to pick ideas from. Something that may be changing altogether depending on how this change went, one that Tex hopes will be for the better.

She's there when Catherine makes the switch from digital to physical. It's an adjustment she remembers dealing with not too long before and if she wanted to, she could pull up the precise feeling of disorientation and disconnect once feeling became a factor. When Catherine reaches out, she offers her arm and rests her free hand on the woman's shoulder to steady her. Whether that would help ground Catherine or throw her off even more, Tex isn't sure, but she figures it's better than watching the AI fall on her face as she maneuvers her new body.

"Don't tell me you want to give up already," she teases as she scans Catherine's form. Nothing abnormal yet. "It hasn't even been a minute."
