You stood in front of the doors which lead to the engine room. You frowned and opened them. Dr Armstrong saw you walk in and raised an eyebrow as you walked into the control room. He then followed you in there and saw you switch the machine off. His eyes widened.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Dr Armstrong questioned. You walked passed him and towards the machine. You saw the lever for its final shut down but before you could turn it off, Dr Armstrong had grabbed your wrist. You glared at him.

"I'm shutting the machine off. I'm cancelling the project!" You shouted. Everyone including Dr Armstrong gave you a look of pure shock. You ripped your arm out of Dr Armstrong's grasp and reached for the lever again. Dr Armstrong's eyes widened and he pulled you back.

"Hold on just a moment, why on Earth would you want to cancel the project!?" You sighed, it would be better to explain it to everybody.

"Listen, the side effects of this machine is the corrosion of any life force that the ozone layer comes into contact with! We absolutely cannot use this machine!" Dr Armstrong frowned.

"Alright, then what about the air?" Your eyes widened.

"What about the air- of course the air will be poisonous too! The air won't be healthy!"

"But it will still be breathable, right?" You stayed silent. Dr Armstrong nodded. "I see. I'm sorry Alice, but I'm afraid that I can't allow you to shut off this machine." You glared at Dr Armstrong.

"This is MY machine, and I'll do what's right. I WON'T put the lives of so many at risk!" Dr Armstrong chuckled.

"You don't own this machine, Y/N L/N does. You're just her descendant. You can't do anything! I have more authority than you do and I say that we continue on with the project!" You growled as the robots were about to approach the machine. You were about to take a step forward but gasped when Dr Armstrong pointed a gun at you. "I wouldn't move if I were you." You glared daggers at Dr Armstrong who only chuckled in return.

Reno rushed towards Dr Oshay's office with his phone to his ear.

"Now you understand that the machine is more dangerous than we thought! Astro, please come quickly. I have a bad feeling that Y/N is about to do something stupid. We need you here in case something goes wrong! And knowing our luck, something always does. Listen, I need to go but get here as quickly as you can." And with that, Reno had hung up on the phone and rushed towards Dr Oshay's office. He then banged his fists on the door. "Dr Oshay! Open up, this is important!" Not a moment later did the doors open and Reno was let inside. Reno rushed towards Dr Oshay as he stared at him questioningly.

"Reno? What's the matte-" Reno slammed the piles of documents in front of Dr Oshay, surprising him.

"We have to get rid of these! And we need to get rid of the files with the OLP X's data all together!" Dr Oshay stared at Reno in shock.

"Reno, what are you talking about? Why on Earth would I do that?" Reno huffed.

"Because the side effects of the OLP X are worse than we thought! Y/N said that the side effects were corrosion of any life force the ozone layer touched. We need to cancel the project!" Dr Oshay stared at Reno in shock. Reno rushed around the desk and opened up the data files. "If you don't believe me then have a look at this!" Dr Oshay watched as Reno opened up the data files of the OLP X and looked at the statistics in shock. He then frowned.

"I see, then I'll confirm the cancelation of the project. Who would have thought that the side effects were this great..." Dr Oshay muttered. Reno nodded. He then saw Astro fly in through the window.

"I'm here! What's the situation's status?" Astro questioned. Reno turned towards Astro.

"I've just explained to the professor what's going on, now let's go and tell the others!" Dr Oshay nodded and opened up the call sequence. When he tried to call the people in the engine room, the call wouldn't go through. Dr Oshay frowned. Astro and Reno frowned at Dr Oshay. "What's the matter?" Dr Oshay shook his head.
