When Jon awoke he was strapped to a chair and a large helmet was on his head. Technicians hurried here and there, and one small man with glasses looked over and said, "Good, you're finally awake, we can begin the sequencing. I'm going to ask you a series of questions, you give me an honest answer. This device will record where in your brain that information is stored, which will allow me to replace it with your Reassigned Programming. Ready? What is your name?"
"Jon Madison," he replied, too groggy to think about lying.
"What is your age?"
"16"
"What sex are you?"
"Male."
"Are you attracted to men or women?"
"I like women."
"Are you a virgin?"
That question surprised Jon. "Umm, well, yes..." he muttered.
"Name you family members."
"My dad, Roger, my mom Lynda, my sister Zoe, and my brother Mike."
"Are you close with them?"
"Yes."
"And finally, who is your best friend?"
"Karyn." Jon wondered if he'd see her again.
"Ok, that enough, the compter has mapped enough of your brain that I can now do a search and replace for your reassignment." He punched a few keys and Jon blacked out, he was not not sure for how long. When he awoke, the technician said "Ok, testing new programming now. I'm going to ask you some questions, please give me honest answers. What is your name?"
"Wendy Dixon."
"How old are you Wendy?"
"22"
"What sex are you?"
"Female."
"Are you attracted to men or women?"
"I love men, but I'll sleep with women too."
"Are you a virgin?"
"Hell no, I've been with dozens of guys, maybe hundreds even."
"Name you family members."
"My mom is Heidi, an' my sister is named Tamara. Don't know who my daddy is."
"Are you close with them?"
"No, not really, they don't approve of my being a stripper an' whore."
"And finally, who is your best friend?"
"There's this new girl at the Eager Beaver, Holly Peaks... guess she'd be my best friend."
As Jon was answering the questions, he had a feeling like something was different, but he couldn't figure out why. These answers seemed like the right ones, but weren't they different than the answers he gave last time? Did he lie before? He didn't think so...
The technician smiled. "Everything is a go, subjects are ready for insertion into reassigned bodies." He hit another set of buttons on a green-lit panel and Jon, or Wendy, blacked out again.
