i wonder if the same impostors will be in sidestep body
#1 and #2 whould be and interesting scenario of body swap since they seems to be ace, or maybe they suffer for sudenly having the ability of heard the thoughts of the entire city whitout the training to shild their heads, #3 i dont know if is heartbreak but that personality in sidestep body is a heartbreak inciden in the making. #4 i think will be this scene in the inverse since to my that seems to be sidestep personality
i think some sidestep may see inhabit ace human body as a Better choice, previously we can only be there temporarily but if now we truly change bodys, if we no longer connected to your original body, then we no longer need the regeneretor to get rid of the tattos nor our DNA marke us as property of the farm. i think that a human body in exchange of our telepaty is a deal that some sidestep may see worty
Yes (i have the theory of something like this happening since the end of the last book so maybe iâm little bias)
the scary part isnât who is in our body. But if we end up stuck in the puppetâŚhow the fuck are we getting back in our body? The puppet isnât a Telepath. We are mind Blind in thereâŚ
To be honest I think they are all somewhat different versions of that but yes looking at the code, number 4 seems to be the most direct version of that.
âStop beating around the bush.â Your head hurts like itâs filled with shards, your legs throb in time with your heartbeat. âOr let me sleep. Dealerâs choice.â

âFine.â $!{phe} nods as if ${phe} has finally made up ${phis} mind. âYouâre right. Iâm putting this off.â
*elseif arrogance >= 60
âThis is probably a bad idea.â $!{phe} lets out a deep sigh. âBut I suppose thereâs no way around it.â
*else
âOf course. This isnât like me.â $!{phe} chuckles as if that was the funniest joke yet. âYouâre right.â

A short pause as ${phe} looks straight at you. âWho are you?â
*goto npath

The thinnest of smiles. âNow tell me who the hell you are?â

Thief Sidestepâs rivalry with Dove sounds interesting, to say the least.
I am a bit bummed that we didnât get a reference or an interaction with her in Retribution during the thieving path.
If the Imposter is another entity and not a split personality then we can either kill them or incapacitate them.
Otherwise, we will need to enlist the help of another telepath. I think that Locus is going to appear in Revelations.
Ok, I read the conversation with #4 again and this time I chose the option that MC tells the puppet their name. The reaction was⌠strange, imo. Maybe there is some truth in âsplit personality theoryâ?
Right now, the split personality theory makes the most sense.
The puppetâs shields are (mirror) shards. We lose the puppet when Sidestep destroys the mirror during the crash.
It seems too obvious. Something is amiss.
#3 still being my favorite. In terms of how the scene was written and the additions to the nightmare (âŚnot by the fact that they were trying to kill MC with a pipeâŚ) and I still think that theyâre too unhinged to be anyone but Heartbreak
Probably, at first I was thinking it was Anathema (because they seemed concerned with MC) but that reaction after hearing MCâs name was pretty off
By the way, is there any fundamental difference between #1 and #2? They both felt more or less the same
Hmm it is weird that ip4 is the one thatâs wants you walking around free if they hire Vera unlike the other imposters who want you brought to them. One would think that if they believe themselves to be Step that they would want their body back
it is still odd. That nobody is or was chasing the mc. I mean they escaped twice nowâŚ
Unless of course, they have spy everywhereâŚso they donât need to do any chasing. Kinda like âThere is nowhere to run anyway and someone will report themâ
