Massive reactor chamber, energy core destabilizing while a technician tries to shut it down manually. Wide shot: huge glowing core pulsing violently. Approach: person running across unstable platforms. Energy surge: arcs of energy snapping unpredictably. Near-hit: energy blast strikes just behind them. Platform failure: section collapses mid-run. Jump: barely reaching the next platform. Control panel: system unresponsive at first. Overload spike: core flares brighter, shaking entire structure. Manual override: forced input under pressure. Critical second: core reaches peak instability. Shutdown: energy collapses just in time.
