Just a bit

The experience of sending your thought into someone else is a bit... boring. It's not anything special since you just sit in your seat while the machine does all the job.

Phase 1 of the test revolves around testing if the recipient of the nanomachines is able to receive the commands, and how the person sending the commands would feel. While this seems like a very simple test, the fact that it has never worked just tells you how much is riding on the experiment.

The system has a lot of technical parts, not even including the nanomachines, but it boils down to this: the nanomachines in my body gathers the thoughts that I have and carries it through an amplifier to the target (with the amplifier currently set to the lowest of the 3 possible settings for safety reasons). In theory, this would allow me to send my thoughts to the target in the test room, and send my thoughts into their mind. A final part of the system would be that the target's thought and experiences would be sent back to me so that I know what was happening from the target's point of view - kind of letting me experience what the target is experiencing.

Yung had started the recording, so now it's time for me to do my job. Giving a thumbs up to Yung, I closed my eyes and leaned back as he turned up the amplifier...

And suddenly I'm a woman.

I could feel my (her?) body shivering as my thoughts connected with her brain. I'm not sure if it's because of the amplification, but I could feel her body much clearer than my own. The perk breasts, the lack of a penis... but strangely, the most obvious difference is a... "buzzing", which sounds like a voice speaking lightly at the back of my head.

Focusing more on that sound, I assume that is feedback on the participant's thoughts piggybacking on the nanomachine's frequencies. I decided not to focus on that as it seems like a rather questionable invasion of her privacy... clearly, not because I was more curious at the feeling of breasts.

My attention focused on breasts and I moved my hands to them... gasping partially because of how smooth her body responded to my thoughts, and the shock of feeling how a woman's breast felt as a woman. It was... different, in that my own doesn't really felt much if I just touch it even with force, but her breasts were different in that it was sensitive and there were _feelings _when touching it.

"Hey." I could hear distantly. "Focus on the experiment."

It was Yung speaking to me in the control room to my body. Her body seemed to instinctively react to my reactions and without my input, she seemed to snap out of whatever it was that was causing her to not question my thoughts.

Refocusing, I realized that while the system was running, I really didn't have much control over my own body. My actual body seemed faint and it took an effort for me to consider it... but when a distant thought of whether Yung actually saw what the woman was doing, I just thought of glancing at the cameras at the ceiling and "I", as the woman did it. It was more natural to use her body than my own body, sitting in the chair, when the system was active.

Something to keep a thought on as I sheepishly grinned and tried to shrug at Yang... but ended up doing so in the woman's body instead.
