They go into those settings and find that the consciousness is always set active by default. "We can disable it for our first try, right?", says Alice and clicks. "Here, now my consciousness is set to be off. Ah, and the options for personality are greyed out. Probably because without being conscious there is no need for a personality. Naah, that's not what I wanted. I want myself to fully be this cylinder and I want to feel it fully. Hmmm… maybe I'll take the first ride without altering my mind in any way. And then we change my mind bit by bit in the following transformations." She sets the items in this category not to be altered. "OK, here's the mental link option and it's already activated. Verbal communication cannot be switched at all. The help text states that this is not part of the inanimate object transformation software package. Makes sense, no mouth, no larynx, no lungs, no life, no language." She scrolls down to the next points and they read out what these controls say and what they allow to customize together. As one of the final settings, they set the duration of the transformation process to the shortest possible time: one minute. Alice saves their chosen set-up into the first slot and takes a deep breath. The rest of the windows says that she just has to lay naked for example upon the bed and that the device will scan her to retrieve her status for the reversal before light transforming process starts. Alice strips naked and lays down on the bed as instructed. "Ready to try this?" Jake asks and Alice nods happily. "Just point the laser at me and press start."
"OK, here we go!" Jake clicks on the button to start the process of transforming his beloved wife into a soft green cylinder made out of synthetic fabric. First the Transform-O-Matic begins to hum as it heats up. Then it emits a single red ray that seems to search for Alice's feet right in front of it. As soon as it found her the ray scans Alice starting at her toes. Jake looks at the laptop and sees a meter that shows the remaining time to finish. "Do you feel anything, my dear? The software says this scanning will take half a minute. I think the whole transformation process includes this scan when we set it to one minute." He turns the laptop to show Alice its screen.
"No, but I suspect I'll feel something when it's done scanning." Alice tells him nervously. He lifts the laptop showing a bar indicating the current scanning phase is about to end. "OK, the scanning comes near your head, honey. In a moment it should finish and the transformation itself should start." Alice looks at the screen and sees a window poping-up that contains all possible data of hers next to a picture of her naked body. She reads some secs until the laser stops moving, having checked every corner. In an instand the red ray appears at her feet and it's about to start transforming her starting at her feet. "Wow", she shouts excitedly. Both watch the status window where they can observe her transformation and track how everything changes. It reads: 'Scanning finished' then turning green to 'In Progress'. A progress-bar appears and the transformational beam pulsates first yellow, then red for several seconds. They both hear the Transform-O-Matic beeping shortly. "Here we go! That's like I expected… I can feel how…" Alice doesn't know how to call it. Her body it feels strange where the ray hits her on its way upward starting from her toes, even erotic like countless fingers caress her skin so very gently but intensively. The ray wanders along her body like a barcode-scanner and where it hits her, it leaves a green spandex roll. Her toes merge just like her feet merge together as well as all her legs. "Oh it's prickling… wow such a tingly sensation. Hmmm… but not uncomfortable…a bit ticklish" Alice suddenly halts talking, closes her eyes by pure enjoyment. Her voice sounds more shrill with every second. She yells surprised: "Ahhhh, that's stronger now… oooh… it gets rough…it rubs everywhere, I have no control over what I do. Feel like being molded into the spandex, dear." Her already spandex body - her feet, legs and hips - quivers as she tries to move it. But that's all movement she can achieve. Meanwhile the beam continues its work. The progress-bar on the laptop's screen is almost full not quite analogously to her body being featureless spandex. Alice looks at Jake with a look he can't read. She opens her mouth but her words are cut off by the ray transforming her neck and all above into spandex in less then 5 seconds.
Jake marvels at what he sees and it is not over yet. The beam expands so that it covers the entire roll of spandex. This contracts within a few seconds, defining its cylindrical shape more and more until finally a green cylinder made of green spandex lies on the bed. Exactly how Alice and he set it up on the laptop and they saw it in the preview. Every detail is right, right down to every needle stitch on the seams. The Transform-O-Matic shuts off the ray and slows its fans as it cools down. On the screen of the laptop the progress-bar is full and the word 'Finished' pops-up. Jake does not dare to touch that green thing. He isn't even sure if it is his wife. Or was his wife once before. He is aroused that's clearly visible in his crotch. That's for sure. "Alice? Are you there?" is all he is able to say right in this moment.
