Overdive (also known as OD) is a special technique in The 3rd Birthday which refers to Aya Brea's consciousness swapping with the consciousness of other people. In 2012, Aya's Overdive technique was used in order to travel back through time through the power of the "Overdive machine", developed by the Counter Twisted Investigation. At one point in the game, the Overdive machine is destroyed and while Aya can still Overdive, she can't Overdive to the past.

While Aya's body is still at the CTI unconscious, Aya's consciousness is battling the Twisted in the past. Dr. Blank and Hyde Bohr can also contact Aya's consciousness in the past, letting her know about the situation and other facts and goals she needs to accomplish. The only flaw to this system is that only Aya can use the machine due to her advanced mitochondria and if she dies while Overdiving, her body will also die back at the CTI Headquarters.

Overdive is merely Aya's conscious-swapping. In the game, however, Aya's "body" is also seen swapping place with uniformed soldiers. This is only seen to the player to indicate where Aya is for gameplay purposes, thus other soldiers still see Aya as one of their own men and not as a blonde-haired woman.

Truth of Overdive Edit

As it turns out that Aya Brea is in fact Eve Brea, it was revealed that it wasn't the Overdive machine that was allowing her to go into peoples bodies but in fact Eve's own ability (with the machine only giving her the ability to Overdive to the past). Eve can dive into other peoples' bodies by altering their mitochondria to let her in. This first happened during Aya's and Kyle's wedding after Aya was shot down protecting Eve from the Police. Eve's powers then awoke and Eve's soul automatically launched into Aya's body so that she could save her sister, unfortunately this caused Aya's soul to shatter and for Eve to lose her memories. Hyde Bohr planned this and created the machine in order to harvest Eve's powers and to manipulate her to do his bidding.

Abilities of Overdive Edit

Overdive allows Aya to jump into the bodies of various people these can include: SWAT, Army and even citizens.

Overdive also allows Aya to jump into The Twisted this is known as ODK (Overdive Kill) this will either kill a Twisted or takes a big chunk of life off one. This is also used at the end of every boss battle as well. This is indeed a very useful ability that triggers after the Target is dealt a certain amount of damage but after ODK'ing Aya will be vulnerable to damage for two seconds so its best to use it while Aya will be safe from sudden damage.

TriviaEdit

• Overdive was at first called "Overdrive" but was changed as the game was released.
• Even though the player will see Aya when she OD's all characters will see her as the person she is possessing.
