Serial Summon (Hotswap). The practice of Apocrypha switching from one Install to the next without stopping in between. A quick and effective method of bypassing the ordinary delay between the usage of Installs by cutting it out entirely.
Naturally, in terms of speed, it is the fastest method. However, in terms of stress, it puts her real body under a great deal more than an Install would otherwise.
As a result, performing a Hotswap is a maneuver with a much greater chance of inflicting serious damage or even death and carries with it a proportional amount of pain. Whereas an ordinary Install causes little to no pain, a Hotswap causes what might be described as adolescent growth pangs, the so-called “growing pains,” only increased by orders of magnitude.
Because of the pain involved and the incredible stress endured by her real body, it is only natural that this is a method Apocrypha does not use very often. However, in a situation where time is of the essence and even the few seconds of delay that normally occur between Installs can have dire consequences, this last resort maneuver may be employed.
