After suffering mechanical damage, Andrew is returned to NorthAm Robotics. His repair visit becomes an opportunity to request a more expressive face capable of visually reflecting the emotions he has developed.
Andrew receives a human-like body
After meeting Rupert Burns and seeing Galatea, Andrew finances new robotics work and becomes a test subject for a body design that gives him a convincingly human appearance.
Andrew replaces more of his mechanical systems
Andrew develops and installs increasingly organic artificial organs, gaining functions such as eating, physical sensation and other human biological processes as his transformation continues.
Galatea appears fully human
