*You get nothing*
"He asks you if you are alright"
"Yes, yes." Explain to him what he's missed in the last few sessions.
"Is there another reason why you haven't been coming to classes, other than your illness?"
Go for the mind reading again.
*It is tired of you annoying it*
"DIE"
*Black Tentacles appear and attack, you do not have initiative, do you wish to try to steal it?*
I certainly do intend to steal initiative, yeah...
Do style Untouchable and defenses.
*You go through your defenses, you get Panaramic Awareness, and since we aren't in combat yet, we will need a botch roll *using table on 291* for Muscle Blocking*
*You go unconscious, and that is the worst result you want at this point, GE roll 14, you hurt yourself a tiny bit, but the next part will not be pretty*
Stay Tuned.
*You awake, you are aware of another presence in your body, it has malicious intent, all of your senses still work, and you are like a passenger in your body, your body is speaking another language to your student, the conversation goes on for a half hour before both of you nod, you head out the door into the city.*
((Ok the symbiote has control, you can attempt to take control with a difficult willpower check, it can attempt to re exert control with a regular willpower check.))
*You are wandering around the city, the symbiote is attempting to learn as much as it can, so that it can impersonate you correctly. It is also gently probing your mind, but that will take a long time, as evidences by your student being "sick"*
Interesting.
Then, I have my mind.
Try to teleport psionically into outer space.
I have been there before, and seen it through a window.
*You did not make your willpower roll, and it gets a bonus next time you try such an action, it is walking around starting pleasant conversations with everyone, asking innocent questions to expand it's knowledge*
?
I'm not making a body action. I'm using a mental ability.
*You are a passenger in your body, you have no control unless you make a difficult willpower check, you tried to take an action it didn't want, you didn't make your willpower, so it is in control*

I'm a passenger in my body, body being the key word. Using psionic abilities doesn't involve my body, it involves my mind. Much as if I were born into a different body or found myself in someone else's body lost all my body skills, but psionic skills would be unaffected. Even with B14@ total controlling links where the being controlled needs to make a difficult will power check to use their body, there is nothing stating that such symbiotic links prevent the individual from thinking; as a matter of fact, it specifically says that the victim is able to think. As psionic abilities work solely through thought and I could feasibly do it if I were completely tied down gagged and blindfolded, it shouldn't require a check to take control of my body unless I'm also required a check for conscious thought, in which case on a failed check I shouldn't even have cognizance of what's going on.
This is how I am playing it, I clearly stated what rules it was under, if you wish to play strictly by the book, we can do that. I have a feeling your not going to want to do it that way, but I leave the option to you.
Just saying. I'm still pretty sure that we were in round one of combat in the first place when the botch happened, since "initiative stealers act in turn" is one of the phases of combat, but I'm the player here.
Keep trying every five minutes or as often as you feel I can. Not like I've got anything better to do.
You teleport into space, you die.

To clarify my earlier statement, I completely 100% agree that any physical action requiring the use of my body I were to take would require a will power check, but argue simply that teleportive psionics are not a physical action requiring the use of my body.
