BOX: The Object's Power Continues to Grow

The three new girls walked into the main laboratory, looking around with stunned eyes at this place that they were *sure* they had never been before. They saw the lab coat scientists (some of which were just now finishing off putting out the fire), but they didn't recognize them. "I think it's, like, one of those places where people do science and stuff," Rachelle said. The other two girls nodded, agreeing with her. "Who are you?" one of the scientists asked, walking up to them. "Where's Dr. Burton?" Rachelle smiled and giggled. "My name's Rachelle Burton. But ... um ... I'm not a doctor. I don't know *anything* about hospital stuff." "Dr. Burton isn't that kind of doctor," the scientist said. Then suddenly, he stared at her. "Wait a minute. Did you say *your* name is Burton?" He peered a little closer at her face and saw that it was Richard's, although much more feminized. "It can't be." "Hey!" another lab guy yelled out. He was standing in the hallway that led to the vaulted lab that the three girls came from. "What's *happening* to me?!" Everyone stared and watched as the man turned into an unbelievably hot woman. Further down the hall, the light from the object could now be seen outside of the lab, as it was being reflected off the stainless steel walls of the hallway. The object's light was still growing. As was its power.
