"You mentioned cybernetic augmentation, but is there any reason I need to have an organic body at all?"
"Of course, not! Most organic species we encounter insist on it, but we can easily upload your neural patterns into our data servers to interact with a simulated environment indefinitely. It would be a great opportunity for us to study the inner workings of an alien mind directly, without having to interpret the behavior of your biological self. We can always download you back into a flesh body at some other point in time, or even into a robot body."
"Yeah, let's do that," you say with no hesitation. A tube comes down from the ceiling, jabs itself into your belly, and starts pumping a whole bunch of blue fluid into there. Your own color changes as your veins and arteries get filled with the stuff. You feel cold all over and start to gasp, trying to catch your breath.
"Our nanofluid is carrying tiny sensor probes throughout your body to latch onto cells throughout your nervous system," the voice explains. "Each cell will be invasively scanned before the nanoprobes are recalled. It's going to be very intense and it will disrupt your entirely neurology, so you're not going to be conscious for much longer. Try not to worry too much. The data collected by the probes will be assembled into a complex network of interacting software unit within our equivalent of what you would call a computer. An advanced, incorporeal version of your consciousness will awaken shortly. Most species report the process as being painless."
Your whole body goes limp, and your nodding head gets one last look at the legs which never worked. You start to feel dizzy and lethargic as everything that makes you Alexander is getting sucked out through the tube. After less than a minute, you're blacking out. You don't get to feel your final biological functions shut down, for there's nothing left of you but a few more drops of blue fluid flowing out of a slumped-over human-shaped husk.
