"I'm ready whenever you are, Dr. Jordan!" A cheerful voice spoke. Steve thought about field-testing the P.R.V himself, but soon realized he needed a guinea pig instead. After all, how could he be expected to patch any holes in his project if things went wrong and he was the one in mortal peril.
That's why he put an ad in the paper and online for an assistant in the lab. Surprisingly he quite a few people interested in the position but once he explained they would mostly be testing out dangerous and life-threatening equipment, they were pretty much gone. That and the Waver they'd have to sign was too much.
Steve was about to give up on finding an assistant and test the Passive "Research Vessel" himself until a familiar face walked in for an interview. She was a short and pale redhead that he's crossed paths with quite a few times, his eldest daughter's friend, Cindy.
Having her turned out to be a godsend as she was down for anything. She didn't even hesitate to sign the waver. As a test to see how committed she was, he had her test some of his other projects around the lab. Thankfully none of them backfired and she was hurt. She was wholly dedicated to the job, and he was ready to have her take the P.R.V for a little spin.
The girl's energy was infectious, and Steve couldn't help but smile as he pulled down his science goggles. He grabbed a remote from his lab coat and aimed it at the camera in the corner. A red light came to life letting him know that it was recording and aimed his portable shrink ray at the sphere.
He's worked tirelessly to get it just right and he was ready to finally test it. He crossed his fingers and took aim. "I'm ready. Commencing P.R.V shrinking and field-test in T-minus 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"
Steve zapped the P.R.V, and the test began.
