There's probably a sensible way to arrange someone when you're tuning their neural implants, but I refuse to consider them.
Shuen having a somewhat intense personality and Balik being inexperienced leads to a more bumpy time whenever Balik wants to test out a change.
Temir is dour on a level approaching clinical depression, but I am pretty sure the army recruiter chose to interpret it as "He has nowhere to go but up once we start reprogramming his brain!"
Temir is still pretty dour after the augmentation, but I guess the army kind of forced him to socialize.
At least he isn't sitting in his room alone eating saltine crackers and reselling random crap online.
Temir didn't have a real job before the army. Just scraping by which is really hard when you aggressively do not want to talk to anyone.
