"I guess I have time to go through this" Sarah said to herself, as she sat down and opened the manual.
It read:
Hello, and congratulations on owning & operating your very own, one of a kind, Modi-Chamber! I, Dr. Rubenstock, have made this contraption my life's work, and I have hoped to spread my invention to others, in light of bringing them joy and engaging their imaginations. I have gathered data, and other pieces of technology from all across the world in order to present you with this Modi-Chamber, my greatest invention.
"So he was a scientist" she thought to herself, then she turned the page:
INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Hold down the green power button for three seconds. This will activate it's inner thermo-nuclear energy supply, thus booting up it's self-sustaining motherboard!
Underneath the text, Sarah saw a well-detailed image of what the power button looked like. She looked for it, saw it on the outward computer, and held it down. Initially, nothing powered on, but after a couple of seconds, Sarah could hear a variety of clicking noises coming from the Modi-Chamber. Soon enough, the lights slowly flickered on, and she could hear the outward computer powering up.
"How do you leave something so important looking behind? I freak out if I forget my chapstick when I leave the house". She then flipped to the next page:
2. Hold down the red button, to deactivate the machine. Changes caused by the machine will still be in effect unless reversed by the machine's actions.
"What the heck kind of changes?"
Sarah turned to the next page:
3. After turning on the Modi-Chamber, please place the subject inside the chamber. Menu controls can be operated from either the internal or external computer. Once inside, internal processors will scan the subject, and identify them. Once the subjects title appears on the scene, the Modi-Chamber is ready for use.
After she read that, she saw that the images on the page depicted the old, funky-looking computer on the outside, and the tablet-looking computer on the inside of the chamber. She then went to the next page, which had two separate lists on it:
4. The modifications made possible by this machine, are listed but not limited to (thanks to a self-updating A.I. system):
Mono-Modifications:
Age Alteration (Progression/Regression)
Apparition Acceleration (Turns one into a spirit form)
Body Expansion Augmentation (Enhance/Expand on any bodily part)
Intelligence Spectrum (Increase/Decrease one's intelligence)
Morphology Technology (Slowly turn a subject into another subject)
Superhuman Abilities (Increase a subjects physical abilities to that of a meta human)
[REVERSE SELECTION]
Duo-Modifications:
Age Swap (Swap the ages between two subjects)
Body Swap (Swap Bodys with another subject)
Trait Swap (Swap a selected bodily trait with another subject)
Duomorph Technology (Subjects involved turn into each other over a period of time)
Organic fusion (Combine one subject with another)
[REVERSE SELECTION]
In order to activate one of these actions, the subject(s) will need to press either the Mono-Modification or Duo-Modification buttons from the main menu. Afterward, they will simply press whatever option they desire on the submenus, and then specify what bodily part or function they would like to augment.
In the event where a subject(s) would like to have its modifications reversed, they will simply repeat the same process as before, but select the [REVERSE SELECTION] option at the end of either submenu list. This will then bring up a list of every modification they have received, and the subject will choose each modification they wish to discard. Afterward, they will press the trashcan icon, and the Modi-Chamber will reverse the changes.
Sarah was trying her best to believe what he was reading, it all seemed too outlandish, like a movie.There was no way that she had access to an omni-powered machine that could change her life just by the push of a button! And it was in her bathroom! Things like this only existed in fantasies, not real life!
"It's gotta be broken by now," she thought to herself, as she kept re-reading the instructions.
"I gotta try it out, but what feature?"
