Decay Page #2

And then we detect what's made in the collision.

What's up?

I thought I'd got it working!

Got... what working?

Her Higgs simulation.

Her... what simulation?

My Higgs radiation simulation.

The "God" particle.

It's a particle that we're trying to make in the collider.

I'm meant to be investigating how it acts on living tissue...

...but my programme just crashes every single time that it starts to look bad.

So what, you think Higgs radiation is dangerous?

I don't know. I'd know if I could get it to finish!

They wouldn't run the LHC if they thought it was a danger.

Must be a glitch or something.

Have you tried on the central computer system?

Except... she doesn't have access to the mainframe.

Are you not allowed to use it?

Well... not exactly.

There we go.

Nice!

Nice one Amy!

It wasn't me!

It's not you... the LHC is ramping.

"Ramping" ramping?

The beams are firing!

The team's still down there! Shut it off!

What the f***?!

The phones are down!

What... what's going on?

The LHC is turned on.

The radiation levels will be killing everyone down there.

People are dying?!

No one is dying!

Shut up Matt!

James, what can we do?

I don't know, the overrides aren't working.

I haven't got any signal!

We're a hundred metres underground, what do you expect!

The radiation levels are spiking.

The shielding's not in place when the maintenance tunnels are open.

Well why the f*** not?!

This shouldn't be able to happen.

...Sh*t!

We've got less than two minutes and we're fried.

We've got to get out!

What about the people in the tunnels?

What about us!

F***!

It's locked down!

James, calm down and think. How do we get out?

We go into the service tunnels.

The tunnels?! Are you mental?!

The LHC master power's down there. It's shielded, we can shut it off.

This is insane...

Right, we'll go down and shut it off. Then we'll work out what to do there.

No, but we can't...

Come on!

Push something!

So that's it?! The worlds largest machine has an on/off switch?

What is your problem?!

Look, this is just a relay. There's six of them.

If one of them trips the others go off automatically.

I hope somebody noticed that.

There's nobody around to notice it. No one will be in until tomorrow.

We need to find an elevator to get back to the surface.

Yeah, if James knows where they are...

Look, if we follow the tunnels we'll get out.

But... what about the people down there?

They could still be alive couldn't they?

Even if they are, there's nothing we can do for them.

The best we can do is get out and try and get help.

But if the radiation did that to them... then...

No - we're safe now the machine's off.
