[Function Offline] the computerized voice in her head said again when she tried to turn herself back, what the hell is going on Lara thought, has the system somehow locked my power away thinking its a program, given the new information the system had put into her mind she knew it had interfaced the operating system with her real mind and if it could do that then it was possible it could alter her mind as well, just as panic was about to set in she realized if its just her mind that's been altered not to use her power then her body would be unaffected and someone else could turn her back.

Quickly getting dressed and grabbing her keys she was about to head out the door for home already thinking about the best way she was going to explain this to mom when she suddenly stopped in her tracks [Registration Complete... Unit RR0759 Unassigned... Return For Processing...], as she was wondering what that meant her body went tense and started moving on its own, her hands opened up dropping her keys and phone to the floor then her body started walking towards the door, no no no she went to say but her mouth didn't move, failing to turn her head or even blink she realized she had lost total control and was now a prisoner in her own body.

Her body marched her out of the flat and down the street following a map in her head which didn't give a final destination, instead only showing the next way point which she surmised was based on user interaction, first was when she had to open her front door, next was a cross walk and now it currently indicated a train station, Lara had been trying anything she could think of to regain control of her body but everything she tried was met with [Function Denied], it seemed Lara could talk to the computer in her head but its cognitive functions were limited to set tasks, dammit i know these dolls can do more than this Lara thought, maybe that's what the Demi A.I. is for she guessed, the collar must hold the memory and basic functions which the A.I. directs to do tasks, if that's the case once I'm properly connected to a Demi A.I. i might be able to get it to restore my change function and turn myself back.

Without any other options Lara had **** but to bet on that, soon she arrived at the train station and her body took her straight to the ticket counter, her hand waved over the contact-less payment and on-screen it showed as paid by NAKA, after getting her tickets she boarded a total of four trains before she finally got to the main NAKA corporation office and as she approached the tower at happened again [Integration Successful Unit RR0759 Connected to NAKA Primary... Standby... Standby... Proceed To Maintenance Bay For Inspection...], ok Lara thought now I'm here its time to see how persuasive i can be, using one of the phrases she remembered on how to talk with a home A.I. Lara asked in her mind "Request Restore Of All Functions" a nervous few seconds went by before getting a reply [Program LARA Does Not Have User Clearance...], damn it, wait it thinks I'm a program, ok fine then "Request Unit RR0759 Body Control" figuring if she could at least get that she could ask someone to change her, [Body Control Will Be Released Once Unit Has Entered Maintenance Area...].

Her body had kept moving while she had been talking and had already entered the building through a side entrance, almost as soon as she was in the door Lara started stripping off her clothes putting them into a small hole in the wall, once she was completely naked she started walking again down a long white corridor, while she didn't feel incredibly embarrassed being naked as this was not her normal body, she still hoped there would not be too many people in the maintenance area, eventually she passed through some double doors into a large room filled with machines, on one side were some conveyor belts that appeared from holes in the wall and all ended near at what looked like a diagnostic station in the middle of the room, standing next to it was a doll that had her arm disconnected and on the other side of the room was a small row of dolls, Lara did note that while all the dolls in the room were identical they did not look like the doll Lara had turned herself into, just as she was wondering why would they be different her body came to a stop behind the doll with its arm removed and her body control came back.
