Chapter four: It's a mental thing.

---------------------------------------

"So, you are telling us that 009 is in fact here with us? That he is listening to everything we say?"

It was hard for 002 to believe it, but he knew that 003 would never lie to them, as every one else knew as well. They were all gathered in the kitchen, discussing the weird, unusual condition of their team-mates.

"Yes, he can hear, feel, taste, see and smell through my senses, it is like if he was in his body, but he doesn't have any will, I'm the one in control."

Her response left every one pondering. 001 then confirmed her words.

[It is true, some how, 009's psyche got into 003's body, and they share the same space for now. It is really amazing. It would be logical that they would have already lost their minds to this kind of invasion.]

007 stood next to 003 and tapped her temple a couple of times: "hey 009, are you in there? Hellooo!"

008 spoke, "well, it surely has something to do with that sphere, 003, can you tell us what happened?"

"I am not sure," she said, as she prevented 007 from tapping her head any further. "009 scared me and I fell on a box, that sphere came out of it and when I picked it up to put it back in its place, everything went blank. I don't remember anything but a harsh pain... wait, 009 says that I didn't move, and that when he touched me, some kind of energy spread between us, I think that caused this situation."

Dr. Gilmore scratched his nose. " Uhm... how interesting, that sphere must be some kind of mind transferer, but I doubt this was the use to which it was intended. I don't think it was designed to make two minds share one body."

005 asked, "what do you think it was for then, Dr.?"

"Just think about it my boy, you are dying, your body is useless, then you create, or get a clone, and you simply transfer your mind to a new, healthy body."

006 pondered, "if it is such an incredible device, then why is it stored away? Why didn't Black Ghost keep it?"

"Probably because it malfunctioned," answered 004, arms crossed over his chest.

"That is something we will have to find out, I will dedicate all my time to decipher the way that damned sphere works, in the mean while, 009's body will be at the infirmary, and he and 003 will have to share her body."

003 rose at these words. "What? Dr. Gilmore, there must be another solution, I mean, I can't have 009 in my mind all the time, he will drive me crazy!... wha--? What did you say--? Now it is my fault? But you were the one who scared me! Anyway I didn't tell you to touch me-- oh stop it!... You are impossible!"

Every one watched with amazement and some grade of amusement as 003 apparently argued with herself, turning her head one way to another. Dr. Gilmore coughed and 003 stopped, it seems that she hadn't realized what she was doing.

"Sorry child, but there is nothing I can do. You and 009 will have to get to an arrangement while I try to work all of this mess out. Now it will be better if we all go to bed, tomorrow things will look better, I'm sure."

003 rose from her chair and started arguing again, " no 009, I will certainly won't sleep in your room-- No, I just don't care that you can't sleep if not in your own mattress!"

002 snickered behind her; "So 009, if you can hear me, congratulations, you will finally get to sleep with a girl! Hah hah!"

"Oh shut up 002, believe me, we are not in the mood." With those words 003 walked to her room. 002 was surprised. Sweet 003 had never used that tone.

She wasn't in the mood then. That was for sure.
