world of mayneosha

A dark room. Green lights flash on the monitors—the time machine has malfunctioned again. Alice stands at the control panel, nervously pressing keys. The air smells of ozone and fear.

Alice: The time machine isn't stabilizing...

If we don't fix this now, it's a loop.

will burst.

Anton (NEVER): sighs, rubbing his beard. Well, here we go again, this damn loop. I told you I should have added more energy-phase alcohol.

Alice: This is not a bar, Anton.

Jack (dog): Too bad. 'Cause it looks like we're about to explode, and at least we'd have something to toast to.

Ilya stands to the side, his gaze tense. He silently watches the team fuss around the control panel. Finally, he steps forward.

Ilya (NEO): Listen... if you turn it off

stabilizer and give a short pulse through the backup channel, we can reset the phase without restarting the system.

Anton: skeptical You're back with yours
Experiments? Last time, a "short pulse" almost sent us flying across the corridor.

Ilya: But I was right then! It's just that no one listened to me.

Alice: Now is not the time to argue. Let's follow protocol.

Jack raises his ears and looks sideways at Ilya.

Jack: You know, Ilya, I'm no expert, but I think it's the "protocol" that's killing us.

Anton: Don't spoil the discipline, dog.

The time machine suddenly emits a piercing sound, and a green glow fills the room. A message appears on the screen: ANOMALY ENTERS REALITY. Everyone freezes. Ilya clutches the time machine in his hand.

The world fades. A new countdown begins.
Illya understood that the time machine would explode, but he didn't tell anyone, and then it exploded, and since it hit the second floor, it broke through the wall into the courtyard, catching Illya and Jack with it. They fell from the second floor to the very bottom, only Jack fell on a bush to soften the fall, and from Illya... on a stone and, what's more, he got hit on the head, and also those who hit in the room simply fell into the wall, but this was only a small explosion, but it could have exceeded even more.
