Jeff activated the package and got to work making himself into something he thought he'd be happier with. He increased his height and weight, shifted his build to athletic/muscular, traded in for a better version of what his father gave him, deepened his voice, raised his libido, increased his body hair, and made sure his beard would grow quickly, be dense, and full by the end of this. The model was looking good! If he set this up to play out over the next few years he'd look like a jock come senior year!
He flipped over to his mental stats and swapped out his social anxiety for sexual experience with a snicker, and raised his social perception quite a bit. He increased his leadership capabilities and confidence, apprehensive about using this aspect of the program to increase his intelligence... he'd much prefer to use the normal version of the program and not spend every spare minute studying over the next 2 years.
Anticipating constant parties and a blessed life filled with the benefits of networking given his new social skills and killer physique, Jeff thought about changing his preferences to be easier to fit in with people... After all it's hard to want to spend time with someone who dislikes the foods, drinks, and activities you plan on. Jeff set to making himself like everything food and drink wise, and as for activities, the only common activity he genuinely didn't care for was watching sports, but that will change now.
Jeff was all set to ensure he gets a good puberty glow up but as he typed in 730 days he realized he really didn't want to wait that long. He was excited to look like an action hero movie star now! He could already imagine himself being popular, being the warm and engaging life of the party for the many many parties he'd be invited to... And once he gets a job, he would rub elbows with the boss and shoot his way through the ranks rapidly... He'd have plenty of money and buy a house by 23, then he could start throwing his own parties, have a wife and kids by 28 and retire by 45!
Jeff's eagerness could not be overstated. Jeff realized he would reach his goals mid senior year... that wasn't good enough! He wanted to enjoy all of senior year as a hunk... but as he was calculating how many days that would be, he would definitely want to be a hunk during the summer before school started! He then talked himself through Junior year, summer, and ultimately landed on 3 months from now and activated the program before he made things too extreme. "After all, he is mid puberty. A growth spurt, muscle gain and hair growth would be normal things so this shouldn't be too bad, right?" Jeff reasoned without a second thought.
Jeff had forgotten that this package won't be modifying him directly. Given the originally intended, 2 years, he'd have been offered nutritious meals at home, his parents would have given him chores which would have built up his muscle or encouraged a job which would have done the same, he would have gotten his hands on minoxidil and applied it to his beard area, a friend would have issued the challenge as a joke or possibly a coworker who finally accepted they were balding would have offered the solution after Jeff complained about his beard...
There would have been many options, those all diminished as Jeff slashed the timeframe for the effects to come into fruition to 1/8th the original timeframe... Jeff thought he would now begin to incrementally change as the next few months passed. The Chronivac began processing vectors to ensure these changes occurred, super soldier serum, a strange virus mutation, exposure to chemicals, but without being able to directly manipulate Jeff the chance of failure was too high and the clock was already ticking... the Chronivac had to go an alternate route.
