"On average, MTO soldiers tend to be battle-ready straight from the freezer in about half an hour. Some take less, but it really depends on the personality of the mech in question," he explains, gesturing the pad. "I'm sure it'll go quite smoothly for you since you won't have the first shock of waking up in a new body. Once you're over the initial rush of information, it's really quite intuitive."
