I gasped drawing air through Stanchik's lungs--my borrowed body. He had the stamina for another session with Reynolds, but I had a schedule to keep--Britain was waiting. My orders were to take the place of a British agent. S.C.A.R.P., they trusted no-one with their skin-suit technology.
"Ok, enough," I said pushing him away. He fell backward and looked at me.
Reynolds sat on his bed, a grin on his face. "I never guessed you were--"
I cut him off, "I'm not. Just wanted some relief before I left." Reynolds nodded, but I could see he doubted my words.
After cleaning myself up, I pulled on the dress shirt and pants. In the mirror I plucked at the seams, the appearance was important to Stanchik.
"Reynolds, wash my kit. Make sure you put it away--tidy." He collected my discarded fatigues, saying nothing.

It was a brisk, confident walk to the officers quarters to meet the developer. Keeping in character I saluted all the officers I passed.
I arrived to find an older man waiting by the jeep. He was in his early forties, with a heavy build--a soldier that had let his physique slip from his hands. I tossed my luggage into the back and he offered a hand. "Richards. Greg Richards," he told me as I shook his hand.
Driving to the airfield, he asked my name. "Seth Stanchik," I replied.
I loaded our luggage into the waiting transporter. Its interior was vast and filled with cargo destined for an American base in Britain.
The crew was small, just four people located towards the front of the aircraft. We sat in some temporary seating among the freight.
As we reached cruise height, Richards leaned forward. "Who do you work for?"
"I work for the president," I replied, drawing it from Stanchik's personality. I never give away my real identity. Richards leaned back and nodded thoughtfully.
An hour into the flight, I could feel my legs tingling--I needed to stretch them. I walked towards the rear of the aircraft running my hand along the covered freight and come across one of the crew. He continued to check a linkage in the floor, I nodded and turned, starting to walk back to Richards.

I heard a noise behind me, and then a striking pain ripped through my head before I fell into darkness. I flinched inside Stanchik, I tried to move, but I was unable to move. I had no option and pulled myself from the soldier's body.
