With every heartbeat, every breath, every thought, more and more dread pours into your stomach. Plainly put, as scared as you are of what will or could happen to you if you enter the room, you are more scared of what will transpire in the room and the rest of the house if you were to turn your back on the now-ailing Construct. You far from certain that you will be able to do anything to help - further now, after this latest blunder of yours - but against that is an undeniable fact, one of the few you have about this place and what occurred here. Your father Wove and deployed two Constructs. <span class="mu-i">Two</span>. For a surety, he must have had ample reason to spend the time and resources. At this point, all there is to it is to do everything in your power to see that his plans are not undone. To be sure, there very well could be nothing that you can do, but still ... aye, no way around it, you have to try.
All there is to do ... is to go into this room, and look upon what remains of the Construct in the chimney.
With the Sub-Assembly responsible for the strickening strikes dead, and if you are to judge by the sound, physically cracked open, it remains to be seen if there is any other security-sureties present and active in the room. Regardless, it nearly goes without saying that it would still be in your best interest to make your way quickly through the ... actually, no, it isn't that cut and dry, is it? If you were to take up the position that the sensory Components inside this room are shared between the dead strickening striker and an as of yet unknown second Sub-Assembly, for the sake of an argument - well, then it is entire within sense and reason that the sensory Components could also have been directly and significantly impacted by the death of the strickening striker. They could have died themselves, killed by the shock or imbalances of the striker's demise - or they could just be 'under the weather', and not able to serve as well as they otherwise would. In this hypothetical, if the sensory Components were dead, then there would be no particular reason to run through the room - if there were in fact other security-sureties present, they would be struck blind and deaf by the loss of the sensory Components. And if the sensory Components were just ailing instead, then it could be that running would be counter-productive. Yes, with the disruption from the slaying of the Sub-Assembly, the sensory Components might have been left in a state where they are not quite so sensitive. You still wouldn't be able to outrun them, but if you were to take is slow, low to the ground - move you like you were climbing a sheer wall, something like that, you might slip through. It certainly isn't overly queer to think so - with the directness of the connection between the late security-surety and the sensory Components, they would feel the first and worst of any disruption, if they weren't killed outright themselves.
