When Ben returned and noticed that Matt was a condom again, the first thing he did was to check the Chronivac.
'Wait, why does it say the subject is called... Black Stallion Condom - Large #0001975531?' Ben was confused.
'Why did the transformation category change to inanimate to animate?' His confusion gave way to frustration.
"Alright, you know what? Screw it. I'm calling customer support." Ben searched for the customer support address and wrote a,
somewhat passive agressive, e-mail, the reply for wich arrived shockingly quickly. But even more shocking were the contents.
'We are very sorry to hear of any inconveniences that may have been caused by the Chronivac 4.0 prototype you have recieved.
We have observed the recent logs of the chronivac and discovered that the machine seems to have been registered to an inanimate object in your possession. We believe that the reasons for any complications stem from that fact and have done our best to remedy the situation.
We have transferred possession of the device to you [subject 'Ben' according to local Chronivac database] and barred the object in question
[Black Stallion Condom - Large #0001975531] from interacting with the Chronivac. We have additionally put a time lock of sixty [60] minutes on the offending object, to limit any damage it may cause in an animated state, should you be so inclined to transform it again in the future. The profile [Matt] has been wiped from the Chronivac database, together with the extensive false identity connected to it. Any interactions that the subject [Black Stallion Condom - Large #0001975531] may have had with anyone other than you [subject 'Ben'] in it's animated state have been completely erased from memory in an effort to reverse any damage that the subject may have caused.
We are very sorry and thank you for your patience. -Chronivac support team'
Apparently calling customer support not only transferred ownership of the Chronivac to him and made Matt unable to touch it,
it also forced his best friend to permanently remain a condom and erased him from existence.
Ben doubted that there had ever been a less helpful customer support reply in the history of the human race.
