Switched

Dr. Driscol: Saskia? Portia?

Saskia via Portia's Body: "Both". I am controlling Portia's avatar, just like a puppet on strings.

Dr. Driscol: I...I have so many questions! When did the switch take place?

Saskia: At dawn. psychics recognize dawn as a special time of day.

Dr. Driscol: Any complications?

Saskia: The switch went without a hitch. Although Portia has a
strong will, which makes stealing or hijacking her physical body
next to impossible, her willingness to participate made the switch
easy. I will control this avatar for 3 hours only.

Dr. Driscol: Only three?

Saskia: It is a matter of energy and concentrated attention.
My physical body is NOT "asleep", but I am sitting in meditation position.

Dr. Driscol: Where is Portia's MIND now? Is she in your physical body?

Saskia: No. She is in a "trance state" in the 4th dimension. Most of
the experiences / memories of this physical body, while I have it, Portia
will experience as "memory flashes". The memories could be erased psychically,
but she demanded her physical body's memories remain untouched for her
research.

Dr. Driscol: And her life experiences? Could you "see" / "feel" any of them?

Saskia: Yes. I know her likes and dislikes. If I control this avatar longer,
I'll have a more perfect memory of her life experiences.

Dr. Driscol: How will Portia's MIND return?

Saskia: I will release her avatar to her care. I will need to lay down and will
appear as if asleep. When her MIND reenters her avatar, she will "wake up".
Have some coffee and something to eat for her at that time.

Dr. Driscol: I have coffee waiting...
