It's An Upgrade

XJ9 attempted to clean the slime gunk off of her body, however she soon found out that the stuff had actually bonded to her, and it seemed as if it was trying to convert her body into more of it. Try as she might, she wasn’t able to do anything about it, and by the time she tried to ask her mother for help, her entire body had been converted into nothing more than a mass of cybo-bacteria.

Thankfully, as her mother managed to conclude via some research, Jenny’s personality and mind were unaffected. The microscopic tech had attempted to fully assimilate her being into it, but her mind was too complex for it to take over, with the cybo-bacteria imprinting upon her as its commanding ‘superior’.

Jenny would find herself able to command her new cybo-bacteria being into shifting and reforming herself rather easily. The vast array of weaponry and tools installed within her body had been assimilated by her new being, and she was now able to simply recreate and reform them from memory, as well as creating and forming new tools and weaponry to use.

She found she was capable of creating her own semi-organic exo-suits and forming them around her own artificial body. Though she was a bit wary when she realized that her first attempt at this caused her to assume the Raggedy Android look.

Speaking of which, that exo-suit was still out there somewhere. Perhaps it was looking for a suitable host. Not something that XJ9 was thrilled to think about.

A bit of a downside to her knew state, however, was that her emotional state could greatly affect her physical composition. If dealing with some extreme emotions, it was possible for her to start to melt and lose her solid shape. This was especially true if very nervous or embarrassed. 

She also had to deal with figuring out her body and abilities all over again, which may be a bit of a hassle.
