Milno:

"Oh yeah, I forgot I had brought these!"

Offer Feyri the painkillers so she can use them if the damn leg starts to bother again.

[IronyOwl]

Oh. I had thought they went into the other room.

Journey into southern rooms and hallways. Look for symbols or other interesting things.

Like this?

[IronyOwl]

And right on through the hallway the arrow ends at, yes. Unless there's something interesting to stop and look at in the other room.

Of course, now that you've mentioned it I'm pretty sure there's a dual plasma cannon waiting in the darkness for me.

Nah, I always try to be exact on what people want to do,death traps or not.

You leave the room and walk back out to the main hall and continue south. The first room to the south is empty, unsurprisingly, but the second is a different story. Situated in the center of the room is a large, perfect cube, about a meter on each side. On the east wall is an inscription.

[IronyOwl]

"I... huh. I wonder if there's anything down the other hallway, or just more inscriptions?"

Intuition check?

[intuition roll: 4]

Well...you're fairly certain that cube isn't dangerous...maybe it's a container? That inscription...those things on the right side sort of look like the tower you're in, if there were lots of them side by side...that circle is marked like the planet  back on the other inscription...and those square things...people maybe?

As per whats down the main hall, you can only guess. Maybe more rooms, maybe laser death...probably laser death.

Attempt to gain access to box. Search around, press on things, slide things, and so on.

Feyri:

"Thanks for those painkillers Milno! And Faith for...checking up on me." Feyri noted with a downcast note in her voice. Her anger at the medic for not doing her work subsided and was replaced with...pitiful regret. She regretted swearing all over the radio-coms but it looked like Faith did not mind.

"About that plaque thing, I think it resembles the one on the first satellite to get out of our solar system, decades ago. However, I don't think this may help us at all. Too abstract. I'll...be helping our last squadmate. Somehow."

Get Jim and return to group. Do not get Jim if my process of getting him will kill him.

You walk up to the cube and stare at it. Its surface is perfectly smooth, no latches are handles or seams. Hm. You side your hand across the top of it to no effect. It seems solid. You tap it and poke it. Nothing happens. You press the tips of your gloved fingers against it and scrape upward, trying to find a seam or something to grab hold of. To your surprise a fist sized chuck of the thing separates from the whole. The separated bit is as perfectly cubical as the whole, like a tiny replica. You fiddle with the small cube and discover that, if you press in just the right ways, the cube will shift and reform itself, edges seemingly folding into nothing, into other geometric shapes. Weird.

You hobble back outside, still limping but feeling much better. You find the upperhalf of jim laying near the doorway and, with a good deal of effort due to your bum leg, drag his body into the building, resting it just inside the door.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim remains half-vaporized and deceased. It is probably a mercy to Feyri his face is hidden, because the expression of a man who's been 50% disintegrated is probably horrific.

[IronyOwl]

Weird indeed...

Keep messing with it, trying to, uh... trying to discover something?

[Tiruin]

((Wait, JIM IS DEAD?!  ))

Check for vital signs in Jim's...body.

[SeriousConcentrate]

(You just now noticed? Caellath was joking awhile back about the fact Jim lost everything below the navel.)

[Tiruin]

((I have no humor...

  ))

Return to group.

"Hey everyone, I found Jim!"
