After an explosion in the autocat production workshop, Victor was seriously injured. The best doctors fought for the life of the researcher and they managed to save it. But Novak still had health problems.

Victor had difficulty breathing, and his eyes saw the world as if in a fog. The scientist's face was also severely disfigured. In order to somehow improve his life, Victor created a special helmet. It allowed the scientist to breathe freely and also restored his vision. This allowed him to continue working, but Victor was afraid that his inventions would again lead to an explosion or something worse, so he stopped appearing in public. According to rumors, he stopped inventing so as not to harm the Sphere even more than he had already harmed.
