DRN-0318 gave you a congratulatory pat on the back. Its muscles making the gesture harder than it should have been, and the mechanical movements making what should have been a supportive gesture feel foreign and strange. "Congratulations. You are no longer Pledge but a full brother and this unit designates you DRN-0319." even its voice maintained the emotionless, artificial monotone for what should have been a celebratory statement.

You were led back and away from the living room to the room in the frat house you shared with DRN-0318, who had been your sponsor while pledging. As the other two pledges, Ian and Dylan, were led back to their rooms by their sponsors. Your and DRN-0318's room was spartan, save the personal item you had brought.

"This unit is required to go over the next step again before proceeding." DRN-0318 stated as it retrieved a small syringe of black liquid, "This is the conversion fluid to begin your conversion into a proper Delta Rho Nu brother and drone. We will have to meet each day to continue your conversion. Outside of these meetings, you will have freedom of person, unless a more senior drone gives you an order, in which case you must comply; and will only change during our conversion meetings. You are to continue your college studies throughout and after the conversion. Should you experience any distress or harm from the conversion, you are to inform this unit or another, more senior drone as soon as possible." it paused, giving you a chance to process what it had just said, "Do you understand and have any questions?"
