"This is like one of my schoolbooks" Alexis said, heaving the heavy manual up and setting it on the side table.
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.
"Some Doctor guy invented this thing?" 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, Alexis 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, Alexis 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.
"It turned on!" Alexis gasped. She then turned back to the manual and 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.
"Just what does this thingy do?" Alexis thought to herself, turning 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 subject's 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, odd-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 subject's 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.
Alexis slowly understood what the manual was talking about. Here, in her new house, in her new secret room, she had something that could help her be as beautiful as she'd dreamed to be! Her dreams could finally come true!
"I can't wait!" she thought to herself, as she kept re-reading the instructions.
"I wanna try it, but what feature?"
