As the full body malaise from the ranged remediation cast has been bordering on agony since it began emitting from its new location, you make a point of grabbing a few handfuls more of the False Silverware than you had before. And as you are standing directly facing the current point of emission for the cast, the very moment you start stuffing the front pocket of your apron with your newest swag, there is blessed, precious relief. As you cram more and more into the ever accommodating pocket, your stomach churns less and less, and your midriff isn't racked by near as many aches and compulsive twitches, nor does it feel as hot or sweaty as it once did - or as rest of your body still does. Unfortunately, this relief is fleeting - as soon as you start to make your way back into the almost empty room, your Shielding is no longer sitting between yourself and the point of emission for the cast ... but once you get back into the center of the room, you position yourself once more to take the fullest possible advantage of the False Silverware in your pocket. You cannot consider it anything but a blessing ... though in some silly way, having just one part of you that isn't hurting as bad as the rest almost makes it feel like the rest of you hurts worse. Hoping to move past that silliness and work through the pain, you take a moment to consult the book that you lifted from the first room. The depiction of this room in the book is without any hatch marks, so it seems that this room might have been set aside as storage or for overflow - something of that nature. Of course, you have seen that only sizeable and permanent fixtures will get the hatches; so it is possible that there might have been other things in this room that have been removed.
Or placed here. You turn your attention once more to the metal and glass contraption leaning up against the wall. Could ... could this be the desalinator that was mentioned in the notes? It is certainly possible, considering you have no idea what such a device would look like ... but somehow you doubt it. How could a spindly thing like this be an unsalting machine? And for that matter, what would one even do with ... unmade salt? Still, you have resolved yourself to looking over the room, and as this thing appears to be the only fraying thing in the room, you should start your due diligence with it. With your eyes barely throwing off enough light to glow, let alone beam through this darkness, you have to hold aloft the 'stick in your trembling, aching arm to get your look. Immediately, you can see that most of the device is legs - three of them, nestled together, with some piece of glass either tucked or mounted inside of them. Now that you are really looking at it, you'd say that the top parts of the head of the device looks to be more and more like a series of vents, and when you draw near, you can see that your guess is almost certainly on the money.
