Helena MkII

In February 1926 Helena rejoined the investigators in Melbourne, and travelled back with them to the U.S.A. Strangely, she had no recollection of her previous life before being found on the outskirts of Cuncudgerie, some weeks before, and seemed to be different person, with different interests and skills. She returned to Boston with the majority of the investigators in late March and has been staying with Mr Bryant and his household ever since, servicing anything electrical or mechanical she can lay her hands on, including the boiler, the hot water system, and every car on the premises at least twice! She also seems to have a knack with Karen's babies.

In May 1926 she told her story and revealed that she is a member of the Great Race, a Yithian "Future Historian" who had swapped minds with Helena, while the real Helena, in her body, attempts to rescue her brother Richard. She said that It had been agreed that on 31 October 1926 this Helena would use a Yithian transfer device to return to her own body and time, allowing the other Helena be restored.

Since the  only transfer device she was aware of is in the buried Yithian city in Australia, she had to build another one herself. She then successfully used the device to return to her own body and time, returning Helena's mind to the present. 

But is this incredible story even true? Could it be that Helena is suffering a split personality following her head wound in the Australian Desert? Read the story in her own words below.
