A cyberframe?
As the monitor fades into darkness, he stares at a body suddenly strange and unfamiliar. Skin and synthetic muscle over a metal chassis. No bone, no organs. A mostly human brain in a less than human body.
Activate.
The thought invokes the command. Microsensors in his skull begin feeding his internal processor. His Heads Up Display reboots, overlaying his vision with pale green data.
Not a man then. More. Less. Either. Both.
More explosions outside, muffled by the armoury walls. He stuffs tools and supplies into a pack, takes weapons from the racks.
Time to meet the natives.

Made a slight change to "Unfortunate" in this series that may mean anyone who's read it may need to re-read it for the later parts to make sense. Basically introduced the name "Mark Baker" shared between the man on the screen and his creation.
