"I-I’m sorry!" you cry. You set the gun down on a desk and race towards Victoria, offering a hand to help her up. She adjusts her glasses and uneasily gets to her feet with your assistance. "Ooh," she moans, "I hope I didn’t have that thing set to what I think I did." She seems to be okay, so you decide to find out what the hell is going on. "What is that?" She wobbles on her legs and starts to visibly sweat. "Dammit! I-It’s the most sophisticated biological alteration device ever created. That means it can…" She seems to choke in mid sentence and grabs her neck in alarm, gasping horribly. You simply don’t know what to do, and stand in horror watching. Have you killed her?
She finally relaxes and takes her hands from her neck, breathing quickly. Your fear soon turns to disbelief and then amazement as Dr. Hurley begins to, quite impossibly, shrink in size! Her lab coat touches the floor and her glasses slip down on her nose. After only a few seconds she has shrunk from a little under six feet tall to a vastly smaller four feet tall. "Oh, no." she groans. "I did have it set there!" She sighs and puts her hand on her forehead, shaking her head dejectedly as she continues to shrink. Her lab coat pools at her feet as she dwindles further and her glasses clatter to the floor.
You approach cautiously and she yelps in surprise as you gently pick her up by the waist. "W-What do you think you’re doing now?" She says desperately, eyes wide. You walk over to the desk you set the strange gun on and put it in your pocket. You admit the day has taken a turn for the surreal as you head towards the door with a rapidly shrinking scientist in your hands. "Put me down!" she cries, kicking her legs furiously.
