As Cam activates the device an undulating dome of energy slowly forms and grows as if he was filling up a floating water-bubble. As the energy expands the landscape starts to move in starts and fits. Rubble begins floating as waves begin to recede from the cliffs below. Bricks fly from the sea and slowly assemble themselves into a tower as they float back up into the lighthouse as it slides up to the cliff. And then the uncomfortable heat suddenly ramps up as a ball of fire manifests inside the bubble. For a moment it feels like being roasted alive before the explosion begins to suck up heat, pieces of metal and machinery forming back together out of thin air as the fireball recedes, leaving behind gleaming hallways and technology. Among the self-assembling building, the shrinking fireball reveals people underneath one by one, washing back into reality. The process accelerates until it suddenly stops with a loud bang of Cam's device breaking apart. The time disc power the rest of the contraption cracking and collapsing in on itself as time stabilizes with one final jerk, settling into it's correct pace of one second per second as quantum vibrations align with those of the rest of the universe.
In the workshop, the US military people blink at what felt like a strange moment of massive deja vu, riddled with visions of a massive explosion engulfing them. Sam's vision clears, whispering voices dissipating as she finds herself in the Danger Room all on her own, memories of the Skrull attacking as Tereza still fresh in her mind. In the control room the assembled X-Men are staring at monitors that suddenly show no alerts, only a single warning about an empty holding cell. On one monitor a query blinks about a disparity in server time versus outside indicators as Cam seems to materialize out of nowhere in the middle of the room, a modified vacuum cleaner strapped to his back.
