"What happened?", Helen asks you in your deep voice. clearly uncomfortable with her new sound.

"Well, honey", you begin, "it all started a while ago". You proceed to tell her/him about TARS and all your adventures, your code of silence abrogated by your retirement.

"That's incredible" she/he gasps in disbelief. "But what do we do now?"

"I don't know", you sigh as you gently squeeze her strong, masculine hand, "I guess we'll have to live each other's lives until we can get the problem fixed".

"But I don't know the first thing about being a stock broker," Helen exclaims.

"Don't worry", you soothe. "I can help you. Its not like you have much going on in your life right now to keep me occupied".

"Not true", he/she pouts. "I'm studying for a degree in teaching, and I have a big final coming up this Wednesday" he/she adds sternly.

"All right", you sigh, frustrated, "we are in a jam here. Looks like we have to figure out how to get this problem solved by Monday, or we're both in trouble".
