    You are a famous independent political journalist with a significant degree of influence in both international and domestic media, and your stories have been able to cause massive traction​​, especially in the political scene of your country. It is currently election season, and the most promising candidate is a young progressive politician who has done a lot of good for the welfare of the country and has promised big things like reducing wealth inequality and more social programmes for the needy. One fine day, you are sent an anonymous package filled with very strong evidence that proves that this candidate is part of a secret conspiracy organisation called the Illuminati, who are planning to rule most state governments within the shadows, and the organisation has been tied to the assassination of a few key political players in your country. Your journalistic influence has the capability to credibly expose both the candidate and the existence of the organisation.

They retain all of their cognitive capabilities and are only observers of the effects of their actions- the perception of time in the procedure is the same as if they lived through those moments. (I.e. while the procedure is relatively quick, the person experiencing it feels like they've relived decades of their life.)
