There were only three subjects so far in stage 2.
Richard McMillan had been taken from his life as a powerful local businessman and redeposited as a wife and mother. However, despite the fact Richard believed he was Zoe's mother, the adjustment was not quite perfect. He'd been sick the entire first day after his...transition. It had been the most radical change they had attempted in terms of difference in lifestyle and temperament.
There had been some unexpected observations from their other efforts...People making choices they hadn't anticipated once the change occurred. For example, the woman whose place he had taken was now a teenager. From all intelligence, a teenager who was totally unlike her old self. Ashleigh Shepherd had been a conservative religious housewife who was fairly isolated from people outside her church. Her new self was an outgoing socially active flirtatious teen who had was always posting videos online.
Yuki Meshida had suddenly become Julie DeVries...Yuki had been 16, and so was Julie...but the girl she replaced had been only 14. She had different friends and different interests than her predecessor, despite some commonalities.
Ashleigh and Julie seemed totally acclimated. Richard seemed to be coming along more slowly, but it looked like progress was being made on that front as well. It meant the additional Stage 2 subjects would soon be deployed.
