"Good luck," wishes Yvette, and she goes back to making shapes out of black liquid.
She doesn't purposefully cause it to explode again; while it was funny, she considers this an Unwanted Side Effect. She's trying to do a thing, and that thing is not 'cause various hilarious explosions.' She will make pretty things, damn it.
She continues making pretty things. If she twists the magnetic field just so and stretches it out like this she can get it to make little arches, and then if she turns down the gravity generator responsible for keeping the thing mostly weightless just a little she can pull those parts down far enough that she can turn the zero-g back off with the pattern still intact, and if she arranges magnetic fields like so the liquid makes little spiky bits on this part that can look sufficiently lace-like to match her specifications, and...
Was there an outside world besides this fascinating machine? She forgets.
