Read it now

"I guess I got time" Arianna said to herself, as she 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.

"Seems like a nice guy" 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, Arianna could see a well-detailed image of what the power button looked like. She looked for it, seen it on the outward computer, and held it down.

Initially, nothing powered on, but after a couple of seconds, Arianna could hear a variety of clicking noises coming from the Modi-Chamber. Soon enough, the lights slowly flickered on, and she could heard the outward computer powering up.

"John is going to flip his lid when I show him this" Arianna said out loud, "That is, if I decide to show him". 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.


"Changes by the machine? That's odd. Just what can this hunk of metal do?"
Arianna turned to the next page:

3. After turning on the Modi-Chamber, please place 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 seen 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)
Body Expansion Augmentation (Enhance/Expand on any bodily part)
Pseudo-Pregnancy (Simulate a pregnancy on ones body)
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. Afterwards, 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 it's 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. Afterwards, the will press the trashcan icon, and the Modi-Chamber will reverse the changes.

Arianna couldn't believe what she had just read. In her own home, her and her family now owned some sort of omni-powered machine that could change them just by the push of a button! It had to be too good to be true! Things like this only existed in movies, or fairy tales, not real life!

"This is insane....there's no way this thing can actually do what it says it does" she thought to herself, as she kept re-reading the instructions.

"I have to try it, but what feature?"


You have the following choices:

1. Mono-Modification

2. Duo-Modification

*Noteb*
3. She decides to come back later, she has a house to move into

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
