The device is hugely complex. Remember these words:

Wise words, as always, from the miracle worker!

Does anyone have a date that this malfunction that occurred on the 11th was first reported?

It's a 27km long machine with tolerances to the Millionth a Millimetre, operating at almost Absolute zero and they've only had a couple of failures ,That's not too bad ,But that's what this testing period is for before they start work - Finding the bugs

Two month off-line!Well, a big thing, a big repair time...

It's actually a government cover-up. There was no transformer failure; the experiment accidentally opened a portal to another dimension and now aliens are invading!

In news they say that this one was the second malfuntion in the machine. I thought that the news was about the first one!

That's just great, now I'll probably get sent in as part of the Opposing Force.
