Sean continued playing around with the Chronivac to see what it was capable of but he hadn't tried anything extreme yet. He just adjusted his own body part sizes to see how weird he could make himself. Then he worked on making himself look handsome with just the right sizes of different body parts.
When he was satisfied with his own looks, his thoughts turned to bigger, more extreme ideas that he wanted to test on his roommates. It's not that Sean hated his roommates. Sean, Jay and Dan all got along fine but Jay and Dan were always going on adventures and leaving Sean behind. So Sean thought about sending Jay and Dan on an adventure that Sean could observe at least.
He kept the Chronivac a secret and when he had the chance, he scanned Jay and Dan so the Chronivac would be able to lock in on them and transform them. Then Sean waited until he had everything set just the way he wanted. He set the Chronivac to shrink Jay and Dan to six inches tall. Then he set the world's perception so they would think it normal for Jay and Dan to be that small. However, he wanted Jay and Dan to remember that they weren't always that small.
There was a section of the Chronivac marked Reality and this section was confusing. Sean understood that this section controlled things like how the world would be affected. The instructions stated that "Since it would be strange for African Americans to have a blonde, blue eyed baby, this setting let's you determine whether the entire genetically connected family line changes." As best as Sean understood the settings, he set it so that only Jay and Dan would be affected. Sean moved the setting until it read "Separate from family".
Finally, Sean set the Chronivac to follow them so he could watch everything that happened. He hit enter and the screen started playing.
Jay woke up first and realized he was naked. Dan was naked next to him and they were both in a cage in a scientist's lab. The cage looked like a cage for lab rats. Jay immediately began screaming to get the scientist's attention.
Doctor Simonov had guests including some reporters with cameras. He said, "It is an amazing breakthrough. We thought it would take decades before we figured out how to do it but somehow we got lucky. We altered some genetic material and created a new species. They look exactly like miniature humans and even mimic human behaviors but they aren't humans."
Jay shouted, "What do you mean? We are humans. I'm having a nightmare."
Unfortunately, no one understood Jay because the Chronivac had been set to make everyone think it was normal for Jay to be that small. And since Jay and Dan were "Separate from family" the Chronivac interpreted that to mean Jay and Dan had no family. They were created in a lab. Only Sean, Jay and Dan knew different.
Doctor Simonov reached in and grabbed the still sleeping Dan injecting him with a sedative to keep him quiet. "Now let's take some measurements and you can see that he is exactly like a human right down to his tiny belly button."
Sean thought, "This wasn't what I had in mind. I should do something before they get hurt. On second thought, this is kind of fun. Maybe i'll just wait and see what happens."
