It was late evening after all the other staff had gone home. Dr. Gallagher studied the device for a while.
It basically had two parts. One part was the controls which were designed like a computer. The settings could be reconfigured by simply selecting from the options on the screen. The other part was a laser array that shot the statufying chemicals into the subject. There were also sensors on the array to prevent the array from firing at anything other than the target. Brad had used this array as a platform for the person to stand on but it could be set up differently. Brad did the platform idea because it made it easier for the device to find it's target and therefore made the statufying go faster.
It became clear that Brad was obsessed with safety. The reason it took an hour was because Brad had put so many failsafes into the device. Dr. Gallagher could easily speed up the process by simply removing several of those failsafes. This meant that Noah would have to be more careful because the array might accidentally statufy things other then the target.
Satisfied with the instantaneous speed of the device, Noah decided it was time to experiment. He called Todd Doyle into the lab. Todd Doyle was his lab assistant. Noah got a snack from the vending machine while he waited.
When Todd arrived, he said, "Hello, Dr. Gallagher. You wanted my assistance?"
Noah said, "Yes, I need you to do help me with a new project. It's going to take up some time so I hope you don't have a lot of plans."
Todd said, "Well no. I'm planning a trip to Los Angeles in two weeks but until then, of course I'll help. What do you need me to do?"
Dr. Gallagher aimed the array at Todd and turned him into copper. "I need you to do nothing." Noah smiled hungrily.
Todd's clothes had also turned to copper and Noah set about cutting Todd's clothes off. Fortunately the clothes were thin enough that it was as easy as cutting copper foil. Todd's pants and shoes were a little more difficult but after some effort, Noah got Todd naked.
Noah said, "Why Todd, your genitals are all smooshed up. Maybe I can fix that."
Noah sat at the device and figured out how to turn Todd's genitals back to flesh. Then Noah fluffed Todd's cock until it stood at full display. Noah then turned Todd's genitals back to copper. "Looking good now."
Noah's next experiment was to hook Todd up to wires to see if Todd could conduct electricity. Noah attached one wire to Todd's erect cock and the other wire to the top of Todd's head. Noah tried different currents, frequencies and volts of electricity.
Before turning Todd human again, Noah bound Todd in rope. Todd was angry and it took a little to calm him down. Noah kept repeating the question, "How did the electricity feel?" until Todd finally answered.
"It was stimulating. It felt really good and intense like an orgasm."
Noah said, "Good. Now I need you to bend over and I'm going to spank you."
Todd cried, "Why? Why are you doing this to me?"
Noah said, "I need to test this device and learn more about it."
Todd asked, "By spanking me?"
Noah said, "After I turn you into diamond, I need to see how hard you are."
Todd cried for help but no one rescued him. Noah used the rope to force Todd to bend over and spread his legs. Then while bound into that position, Noah turned him into diamond from the neck down. Noah said, "I want you to tell me how this feels."
Todd braced for impact but Noah had lied. He used a rebound hammer instead to test Todd's hardness. It hurt. Todd cried. When Noah removed some of the failsafes, he inadvertently removed the part that prevented statues from feeling pain. But Noah had to test Todd's hardness in several different spots to make sure the hardness was consistent all over. Noah used the rebound hammer on the back of Todd's head, his back, his butt, his legs, his arms and even his cock and balls.
Noah said, "You're not quite as hard as diamond but pretty close. I don't have to worry about you toppling over and breaking."
Next Noah tried changing Todd into different materials: glass, aluminum, chrome, steel, brass, jade, and obsidian. Then he tried silicone and realized that he had just turned Todd into a sex doll and since Todd was bent over, his ass looked inviting.
Noah removed the ropes and took Todd home. He lived alone. He lived out his fantasy of going on a date with Todd even though Todd couldn't speak. Then Noah took Todd to bed and made love with him until he fell asleep.
The next morning, Noah came to his senses. He washed the cum out of Todd's ass and then wondered what he was going to do about Todd. He could keep Todd in the closet for now but he knew he needed to come up with some explanations about what happened to Todd.
