I stare at my two pets. One of which is a black lab, his name is Mako. The other is a snow white cat with streaks of black fur, her name is Miki. Having no idea how to do this yet, I try giving a simple command, first.

"Mako Sit, Mako Roll, Miki Come."

Changing my approach as they are not following any of my directions. I single out all the differences between now and the incident with Sarah. The biggest difference was physical contact. It's possible that I first need to be in brief contact with the individual to establish a connection.

I start by laying my hand on Miki. The moment my hand makes contact I feel a slight pressure on my head. Instinctively I know that this pressure is my mind feeling the foreign presence of Miki's. When I do the same to Mako instead of feeling the presence of both of them, I feel the connection with Miki snap.

I can't link to more then one person at the same time. Well that kills the idea of having my personal army of mind slaves. Not like I wanted to anyway. Another thing I just realized is that even with the connection if they can't understand my command they will not follow. Luckily through telepathy I am still able to send thoughts through in the form of pictures.

The part I find the most interesting though is that I also have the ability to access it's memories although it is difficult to make sense of them as our perspective is totally different. How Mako sees the world is just too different. I decide not to use that again unless it's on a human.

I briefly considered what would happen if I tried this on god. I highly doubt my chances of success, but if I did and my head didn't explode from the upcoming migraine. I would be the closest thing to omniscient that I know of, well besides the multiverse itself. It almost makes it worth the risk luckily my sanity is intact... I think.

After an hour or so inside of my pets head I decide it is time to try at least one human. I want to test how long a command lasts. Personally I also want to see if survival instincts take precedence over my command but unless I find somebody who truly deserves it, I am not about to command someone to die.

Besides the possibility that god will interfere is to high. I can't afford to be careless. Speaking of which I wonder what my counterpart is doing. I assume that he managed to grab these powers as well considering things as they are.

Paying a visit to the Cafe I am going to see Karen at tomorrow. I walk up to the register and wait for one of the staff who are currently dealing with another customer. Eventually a young dark skinned lady makes her way over to me. If I recall her name is Kim.

"Hello it's just me today. I will need a menu." -Me

"Been a while since I have seen you here, write this way sir." -Kim

She brings me to a table and then holds out a menu for me to grab. I intentionally brushed her hand lightly with my own, when she hands me the menu to establish a connection before I sit down.

"Can I get you anything to drink."-Kim

"Just get me a Coffee with Hazelnut cream and sugar on the side."-Me

I can still feel the pressure on my mind even after she leaves. Distance doesn't seem to matter. Oddly while the pressure I feel is certainly more intense then when I connect with Mako it isn't painful. Well unlike Sarah this woman isn't about to blow a casket. I wish I had a way to filter out intense emotions. It's a bit of a double edged sword in a way.

Overpowering the emotion's Sarah was giving off, forcing her to go against her own nature and then erasing her memories must have caused quite a strain on my mind. I would imagine that the only reason my mind trumped hers is because she never consciously fought back.

For my purposes I only placed a simple construct into her mind. As long as it's in place anytime I visit the first coffee of the day will be free. This is test how long a construct lasts. I doubt she will get in trouble for it. Well I could always place a construct on the manager as well in that case.

After taking my order while dropping off my coffee I then dive into her memories. Despite having complete access to all her memories it's not as simple as a looks. There is no life time playback. I actually have to know what to look for. I can't change any long term memories by the looks of it. Although apparently I am able to add new ones into a blank time slot.

While that does mean any sleepy time is fair game that also means that creating something abnormal it would likely just be interpreted as a dream. While moving deeper into her mind I hit some kind of blockade.

I lightly probe it and pay close attention to any reaction. I don't want to hurt her. I begin to burrow a hole through his blockade. It's an incredibly difficult process. It's feels like the mental equivalent of digging a hole through a brick wall with a spoon. Luckily as this all occurs on a mental level it is much faster.

Breaking a small hole through the wall and finally moving beyond it. I completely understand now why this wall was in place. It separates all conscious and autonomous functions of the brain. I am glad that I didn't destroy the wall completely.

Giving somebody complete conscious control over all functions of the human body would be disastrous. I quickly withdraw and seal that wall up as best I can. Leaving the cafe with my new insight into my abilities I am beginning to question my humanity. After all having the ability to stop somebodies heart with my mind would more or less make me a monster.
