Adam knew his device would quickly consume itself without the safety mechanism and all of his life's work would be gone in a instant, luckily the world won't be consumed as the device should consume its self and fizzle out before it gets out of the lab, or at least that's what he had calculated in his time working of the machine.
As Adam had these thoughts he quickly came to a startling realization. "I'm Thinking how can that be?" I was torn apart by the device my body should be little more then some elementary partiacles.
"Well as the great Descartes once said I think, therefore I am." As such I must be alive, at least in some sense of the term, but then where am I?
Adam looks at his surroundings with his now non-existent eyes, a void with little more than the particles that once was his body and some background radiation.
"I need to act, I have no idea how long I can stay in this state." Adam begins to try exert some kind of force on the particles and radiation around him however such a task felt like pulling flowing water against its own current, the task was difficult but not impossible.
Eventually after much effort and some nonexistent sweat, blood, and tears the particles around him seemed to hit a sort of critical point as they all began being drawin into him like a whirlpool.
"Wonderful! I seem to be able to manipulate materials that have been pulled into my... soul or... perhaps my mind? honestly I'm clueless as to what I currently am at the moment... but the term soul should work right?" As Adam began to manipulate the materials inside his so called "soul" he constructed a simple and rather crude copy of his soul out of the materials he had gathered planning to test how it reacts to absorbing large amounts of material, after all Adam was always one to be safe. and exploding after absorbing to much material didn't sound even a bit pleasant.
As the replica soul quickly became a vortex of energy, it quickly began pulling as much background radiation and loose particles into itself as possible rapidly changing from a light blue ball of light to a dark red.
The great force of the vortex quickly pulled in Adam after overpowereing his futile attempts at resistance. "Perhaps I told it to consume a bit to much material, well it's to late to go back now..."
And with those words the vortex quickly consumed Adam and the rest of the radiation surrounding the now large ball of light, before quickly stopping and condensing into a ball the size of a marble. before going a seemingly non existent black.
