The Time Wheel continues to explode with mighty power and fury of electric bolts and charges. It is beginning to drift inch by inch away from Space City back into the sky. The object still holds frightening amounts of power and energy. In the control room, the Savox Miners now guard the Subterrains, showing another form of role reversal.
Subterrain 2:
Planet 46 reports the Time Wheel's stationary position is being unstably withheld. It has begun to drift slowly back upwards into the sky.
Lieutenant Ninety:
It will still create a colossal enough explosion to blow the Earth apart.
Commander Zero:
Always the optimist, Lieutenant Ninety.
Professor Matic:
The unstable position of the moving object must have created an unbalanced resultant force. That's why it's begun to drift upwards.
Commander Zero:
It might be moving back up into space at least so we're less likely to be hit by the power rays of the Time Wheel.
Dr. Venus:
Steve, is there no way we can stop the Time Wheel by mental projection?
Steve Zodiac:
The Time Wheel is not made from Savoxian technology. And not from the energy of the E7.
Subterrain 1:
But it is, Steve Zodiac.
Savox Miner 1:
You just keep quiet you, whatever you're up to.
Steve Zodiac:
Wait a minute, what was that you said?
Savox Miner 1:
Ugh, forget about him. He's done enough trouble around here.
Steve Zodiac:
Maybe so, but he said something that might be worth listening to.
Savox Miner 1:
He blew apart our live-lit-hood, used as second class site-ozous, and make us work for them to blow apart the galaxy.
Steve Zodiac:
I think you meant livelihood and citizens.
Savox Miner 1:
Yeah. That's the one. They think we're dumb or something.
Zoonie exchanges his glance as he sits against the wall lazily not helping the situation.
Subterrain 1:
The Time Wheel occupant is made from Savoxian technology. We aimed to use it and the E7 artefact to take over the universe.
Dr. Venus:
So we can do what we want with it?
Steve Zodiac:
No, because it's not part of the artefact itself. A by-product of the Novax E7.
Jonathan Zero:
And we can't stop the energy being drained from the artefact because the absorption is coming from the Time Wheel. Not the artefact.
Savox Miner 1:
Why don't we just smash up the artefact altogether to stop the wheely thing from going up in smoke? Anyone agree with me? No?
Subterrain 2:
If we can't control the Time Wheel, we can control what the device inputs.
Professor Matic:
