[The Jopp]

The mind of the vessel remains in
whatever state it was when possession began;
if conscious, it becomes an impotent witness
locked inside its own body for the duration

What exactly happens to the following three people when they become possessed.

mage on the astral plane getting his body stolen by a possessing spirit
hacker in hotsim/VR out on the matrix and his body is possessed by a spirit
technomancer in VR out on the matrix with his persona and is possessed by the spirit.

Basically, since a mage is locked out of his body shouldn't the same apply to the other two as they have already accessed Resonance or activated their commlinks...

A hacker would essentially become an E-Ghost for the duration of the possession unable to get back into his body as A: The spirit cannot control DNI controlled hardware like a commlink to force the hacker back into his body and B: the hacker cannot force himself back into body without becoming a prisoner.

Alternatively a hacker due to access to hardware MIGHT access DNI ware and switch between helpless watching and hacking.

Thoughts?
