That machine reminds me of this scene from Alien:
Ellen Ripley: How do we kill it Ash, there's got to be a way of killing it, how, how do we do it?
Ash: You can't.
Parker: That's bullshit!
Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with do you? Perfect organism. It's structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Lambert: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Parker: I've heard enough of this and i'm asking you to pull the plug.
Ash: Last word.
Ellen Ripley: What?
Ash: I can't lie to you about your chances, but, you have my sympathies. [Smiles]
Ellen Ripley: [Pulls the plug]
