There was a zap and Scruffy vanished from one telepod and appeared in the other.
"It worked!" gasped Sharon.
"That's not all," smiled Jim, "Take a look at the monitor. That's all information taken from Scruffy during the teleport. If I teleported another dog, I could now borrow or edit certain traits between them."
"So you could turn Scruffy into a bulldog if you wanted?"
"Sort of," Jim explained, "But there's not enough data in the computer yet. I'd have to teleport a bulldog first."
"Okay," Sharon said, letting Scruffy out of the first pod and taking his place. "I guess I trust you not to vaporize me."
Jim beamed and activated the device. In a flash, Sharon appeared in the other pod.
"Whoa!" she said, "That was incredible!"
"That's not all!" Jim motioned to the monitor. "Now I've got your information stored in the system and if I want to..."
He began to type and Sharon started to get worried.
"But you can't change me, right?" she asked, fumbling failingly for the lock, "There's no other human data in the system."
"Right on the second count," Jim grinned and activated the pod.
