You still are not willing to detour on account of all of this - not yet. Hoping that this isn't a security system or if it is, that it will count being flashed with your suits integrated lights as a transgressive act, you pull yourself far enough around the corner to get the lanterns clear, and then you switch them on.
Sitting in a thick cloud of dust and debris, the object that you see - you are not sure that it even qualifies to be called a device, let alone a drone - is a massive bale of razor wire, with an outer diameter of three and a half cubits, maybe a little more. It is more than a little alarming seeing all of that razor wire just .... bundled there. It certainly looks like it might be sharp enough to damage your suit or your equipment, if you were to get too close. Luckily, the bale seems to be mounted to the walls - or at the very least, immobile. At the moment, it is held in place by eight thin metal struts radiating out from the bale in all directions, holding it fast between the ceiling and the floor of the hall. Recessed into the bale, is the lamp that you saw earlier. As your light catches on the center of it, it suddenly flashes on.
Damn it all! It wasn't bad enough that you got it right in your eyes, but on top of it, you weren't counting. Was this the regular interval for it to turn on, or it is reacting to your presence here? As you recoil and blink the light out of your eyes, the lights from your suit fall on the walls of the hall around the corner, and you immediately notice that there is quite a bit of scuffing at unusual locations, starkly standing out against the rest of the unblemished walls. As you are wondering about that, all the while wishing you could wipe and rub your eyes right now, it occurs to you that the light from the bale has still not shut off. You wait a little longer, but the light refuses to shut off. You press your gloved hand into the wall, hard as you can, but you don't feel any vibrations.
Now what the Hell are you supposed to do?
> Please choose ONE of the following:
> Wait for the light to shut off before doing anything.( - ? % Suit Charge, - ? % Air)
> Now find something to throw, and lob it NEAR the thing. Hopefully, it does not perceive that as a trangressive act.
> Now find something to throw, and lob it AT the thing. Hopefully, it does not perceive that as a trangressive act.
> Shut your suit's light off, and approach it, hoping and praying that whatever it is hasn't turned hostile to you.
> This hallway is too small for the two of you. So you will be the bigger man here, and leave.
