If it was something else, like the one by the mouth of the intake was, then your quickest route into the bulkhead would almost certainly be to cut your way through this filter, then once you were certain you were in the bulkhead with the desalinator and the second power plant, cut through the intake. However, if that space was for another filter, then you would probably be better off cutting through the intake right now, and finding your way into the bulkhead with the schematic as a map. You aren't too far from the bulkhead, and you don't imagine that the hallways are more dangerous than this intake, as far as conduit worms go. The electronics that you have run into so far have been clean, but as they are so isolated, the next batch of electronics might not be. And in these tight spaces, even tiny worms are dangerous, if they manage to latch on you. At least in the halls, you would be able to see where you were going, though you would be giving up the nice direct route offered by the intake. What would really make up your mind is knowing if there are two filters between you and your destination, or just one. But there is no way of knowing for sure.
> Please choose ONE of the following:
> Stay the course, and cut through the filter.
> Take a detour, and cut through the intake.
> Take a longer detour, leave the intake and look for a way in that doesn't require cutting.
