The room is illuminated with a bright green flash, mostly centered on the transformation pad.  I would shield my eyes, but I wrote a subroutine for this very thing.  My eyes turn down their sensitivity whenever a transformation pad is turned on.  I have been able to avoid damage to my "eyes" since I started working here, which is more than most can say, Makayla thinks to herself.

-Frederika unit confirmed-
the monotone voice states to the room
-Convert Frederika unit to statue object-
Oh, Makayla thinks, she wanted her time as a statue.
-Begin database copy to secure location -
Standard procedure, she reminds herself, the computer has to treat her as an object now, so all internal files must be removed for later install.
-Transfer complete. Finish statue object #5397-
Well, she should be done real soon then.
