Simon finally received the Chronivac he ordered. His friend Andrew is present when he opens the package. They are impressed by how many things can be changed. To avoid mishandling, Simon chooses to read the user's manual. Meanwhile Andrew watchs an action movie on TV.
Simon presses the target selection button. "Male" "20 years" as well as many other informations appear on the Chronivac screen. It's working! Simon believes he has captured Andrew's physical characteristics. Witch quick change could he do for testing? He selects the "Miscellaneous" tab and sees a "remove the target's clothing" option. Simon smiles, it's the good joke. He properly repositions the device towards Andrew and saves the change.
Andrew's clothes disappear instantly. But his friend's appearance changes at the same time. Andrew was a skinny young British man. Now, another man is sitting on the couch.
Seeing that, Simon gets scared and shouts "Oh shit! Andrew! Is that you?"
The man on the couch turns his head and asks Simon what's up. Then he realizes that he is naked. He jumps up screaming. He finds out he looks like a Latino man. He has another man's face, shaved hair, more muscles and more body hair. He also has many tattoos and wears gold jewelry.
Andrew gets mad at Simon asking him why he changed him without asking him. Simon didn't want to do that. He doesn't know why Andrew turned into someone else. Suddenly the two friends realize that Andrew is the clone of one of the bad Latino guys from the TV's movie. The Chronivac had captured the actor's physical characteristics on the television screen. Simon therefore inadvertently changed Andrew with the actor's physical characteristics.
Simon freaks out and looks for undo this. He browses the options but does not find how. While lost in a submenu he sees a back button. It's a only partial cancellation allowing Andrew to get his original head back.
Andrew runs to look at himself in the bathroom. He is happy to see his face in the mirror. But it's really strange to see his head attached to a Latino gangster's body. A rather thick uncircumcised penis hangs between his legs. Stunned, he takes it in his hand. Being circumcised since the age of 6, it feels so weird to him.
"Oh shit!" Simon just shouted.
Andrew comes back to the living room to see what's going on. Simon is very embarrassed, he's almost certain he's just erased Andrew's physical saved stats.
Simon apologizes over and over. Andrew's original body is lost, he'll never get it back. Andrew stays calm and doesn't blame Simon. He will keep this new body which is better than his original body.
He was planning on using the Chronivac to improve himself anyway. Together they find the menu allowing to erase his tattoos. They also activate the reality-altering function so that everyone thinks he's always had this body. There are only a few adjustments to do in order to have the body he has always dreamed of.
