Unfortunately, in this day and age, thieves stealing packages left by delivery services while the owners are not at home was quite common. The package containing the Chronivac machine was also a victim of this when someone stole with no witnesses around. There was a string of thefts in the area, stealing every package that they could see, so this particular thief didn't know that he just stole the jackpot.
Antonio Ricci was a member of a small group of thieves, stealing things and preforming other illegal actions, just to get by. Antonio was as stereotypical of a thief as they came; lanky, dirty, and only in his mid-twenties. He didn't really have any ambitions to speak of, aside from one day making it big and living on easy street. He was more waiting for his vague dream to come true rather than working towards it, however. Although it seems like that day was today.
The thief was opening the packages if he could sell anything to the black market for a good price when he finally unwrapped Chronivac.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Some fancy pants computer, huh? Ha, we're going to eating well for at least two weeks with this baby!" Before that, however, was a quick examination of the computer to figure out a price to sell this thing. It was nothing like ever seen before, but it looked high tech and expensive.
Turning it on, Antonio was shocked to see his own name on the computer screen after it finished booting it up. Not only that, but all of his stats were also on the screen. All of them! His age, height, weight, history, measurements, everything!
"Wha! What the fuck is this!? How does this computer know everything about me!? And what is with this 5' 10 crap?! I'm at least 6'1!" Antonio wasn't actually that tall, he just believed he was, but in an act of stubbornness, the thief changed his height value to 6'1.
Suddenly, he felt a shock and a bit dizzy as he felt himself stretching. The thief stood up after the sensation passed to see everything looked out of place, and his pants being too short on him now. It dawned on him that this little device had the power to change things and even people. A devious grin appeared on the man's face as he thought of all things he could do with this thing now.
