It's regarding your human form. When you change. What would you consider the 'pros' and 'cons' to that state, as well as is it a form that must be maintained through constant focus, or more like a switch?
In my case, it's a switch as I have to trigger the transformation in order to take human form.
PROS: ability to pass as a human and therefore without comment, new senses such as taste or smell, ability to eat chocolate, use of hands.
CONS: bodily functions such as waste, lack of easy maneuverability or flight, no internet connection, slower brain.
NOT NECESSARILY EITHER: physical indicators of emotion. On one hand, it makes emotion more difficult to analyze and control, on the other the sensations can be a novelty.
Some may not be applicable in your case, like being able to use hands for instance, but hopefully this provides some helpful insight.
I have no desire to be human for my own "benefit" but I have come into several situations where the simulations I've run turn out more favorable, if I had been human for those situations. By refusing to change, I am intentionally making those solutions inaccessible, when they could greatly affect the outcome.
Does this sound like a reasonable conclusion to come to?
It's common for robots and AIs to be granted the ability to appear human by the Porter for whatever reason, but it becomes essentially a new tool in our arsenal. Therefore it's a reasonable conclusion to treat it as a tool.
It may be worth testing it out to see if it would be useful, in that case. Or even just to acquaint yourself to it; I found a human body to be difficult to adjust to the first few times I used that power.

I don't have class today. Actually, I believe the classroom isn't booked today at all, that should afford you some sort of privacy and give you space to move around.

You already have experience with this, and would know what to expect.
[And also his pride would be damaged if he fucked up being human in front a human. Skeets, not so much.]

[ It seems fairly logical to him, in the way that feelings are oddly logical to him. ]
When were you planning on doing this? I can make time in my schedule, as long as I don't have a class I'm teaching.

[A PAUSE.]
I also don't know where I should do this. If I do it at my own housing unit, someone will see.
