Biography

Still in the employ of the tenth floor, Haynes continued searching for potential candidates to participate in the next cutting-edge experiment. Once again, the process involved transference of a sort, but this time of human consciousness: through digitization, the researchers had developed a technique in which a human mind could be transferred into a different body and even share living space with another consciousness.

For this experiment, Haynes eventually tracked down two participants: Jack and his wife Carrie. At the time, Carrie had been rendered comatose after being hit by a car and could only communicate with the world through a brain-activated yes/no indicator, so when Haynes arrived with an offer to rehouse her personality in Jack's brain, she agreed very readily. As such, Carrie took up residence in a consciousness receptor implanted in her husband's mind, allowing her to communicate directly with his consciousness, experience the world through his senses, and most importantly of all, interact with her son (albeit remotely).

Unfortunately, the joys of the new arrangement were short-lived: Jack had no sense of privacy and Carrie was effectively powerless, and as time went on, the frustrations inherent to each problem began to wear on their marriage. Eventually, Jack went to Haynes for a solution; eager to have another revolutionary piece of technology tested, the recruiter offered Jack the ability to put Carrie on "pause," effectively switching her off on occasions where privacy was required. However, the new system only put more pressure on their relationship: it wasn't long before Jack became tempted to switch his wife off for longer periods of time, and Carrie only grew more upset the longer she was left on pause.

The strained marriage reached its nadir when Jack ended up in a relationship with his next-door neighbor, Emily - much to Carrie's outrage. The arrangement proved so disharmonious that Jack once again sought out Haynes, claiming that the pause function was no longer working for them; initially, Haynes suggested just having Carrie's mind deleted, reasoning that it wouldn't legally be murder - but though Emily agreed, Jack still couldn't bring himself to effectively kill his wife. Once again, Haynes was ready with a new solution.

Acting apparently on his own, the recruiter offered the new couple a prototype body in which to house Carrie's mind: normally intended for terminally-ill parents with children they wanted to remain with after death, this "body" was actually a plush toy monkey outfitted with a consciousness receptor, cameras for eyes, haptic senses, and a "kid-friendly" voice-box. Though Jack was reluctant to accept the deal, Emily quickly talked him into it - much to Hayne's amusement. So it was that Carrie awoke to find herself implanted in the body of her son's newest toy, able to see, hear and feel, but incapable of movement and only able to speak two distinct phrases (one positive, one negative): "Monkey loves you" and "Monkey needs a hug."

Worse still, her son eventually got bored with Carrie's new body and discarded it. With Jack and Emily having completely lost interest in keeping her around the house, the monkey eventually ended up as the property of St Juniper's once again.
