You were kind of hoping for someone a little older to be handling the experiments, so there was a bit of unease when the door opened and in walked Mai. She was a younger Asian girl, couldn't have been more than 21 and was wearing blue jeans with a tight fitting white t-shirt. She shoots you a smile as she walks in towards you, and shakes your hand very excitedly. "Hi there! I'm Mai, i'll be working with you today! Thank you sooo much for doing this for me!" You ask her exactly what qualifications she has and she says "Well... I'm a student at the university down the street. I've been studying biology and bio-mass for the past few years, and if this proves successful, illl be able to get my masters in NOTIME." She gets right to work, pulling out a large book of randomly scattered notes and calculations, along with a silver toolbox. "So tell me about yourself. Where are you from? What do you do? Are you allergic to penacilin?" She fires question after question at you and you do your best to answer as she hurriedly takes down your measurements. You stand there amazed as she asks question after question, checking your blood pressure, height, and even tentative grip strength relatively in a flash. She takes a breath for a moment and looks up at you, shooting an awkward smile and says "Sorry. I know i'm breezing through the introductions. I just don't know how much time they're giving us to work on this and I really want to get some experimenting done before we have to give up the room."
You ask her what exactly she plans to do with you and she says "Oh! Right! I never told you. I'm gonna make you smaller." You do a double take and ask her exactly what she means by that and she says "Okay, so... you know how we're all made up of atoms and compounds? I found a way to compress those compounds in a way that proportionally effects a person's size... hypothetically. We haven't been able to secure the rights to human testing yet, but that changes with you!" You ask if she knows what she's doing and she rolls her eyes "Totally. I know exactly what i'm doing. Well kind of. I haven't tested it out on anything living yet. But i shrank a couple of chairs and tables and stuff, and they seemed fine!" She opens the toolbox and pulls out what looks like a small super soaker toy with a glowing red nozzle. She flips a switch and the whole thing lights up. You start to get a bit nervous, especially as she tells you to stand up against a wall. She places a piece of black electrical tape on the wall right above your head and walks backwards. "Keep yourself lined up with the tape on the wall there. I want to see just how much height you can lose from one shot."
You take a deep breath and close your eyes almost like you're facing a firing squad... and in a way you sort of are. Mai writes down one final note and lifts the gun up, finger on the trigger and closes one eye to aim properly. "Alright, get ready to be small... this is gonna be so great!" She pulls the trigger and you brace for impact...
