((I don't see any clear consensus beyond loot, so I'll go with that.))
You take some time to explore the area, quickly skimming through cupboards and drawers. You do find some interesting things hidden in corners or stuck to the ceiling of those containers. The results of your search net you 5 of those exploding balls (2 of those that emit a lot of light and noise, 2 of those that made that weird short-lived fog and 1 of a sort he didn't use against you), 2 of those machines that throw exploding balls when you get close to them and a medpack. You also take a couple of those colorful bottles. You can't read the label, but you like the color. Maybe they're the sort of thing Eiwhyl likes to drink. Even if they aren't, maybe they could fetch a good price if sold. You also find some food in the kitchen but you're not really hungry right now.
Items gained: 2 stun grenades, 2 fog? grenades, 1 
grenade, 2 grenade thrower mines, 1 medpack, 2 bottles of You have some guesses about how those exploding things work, but you're not 100% certain, so you make sure to put them in your pack in a way that it's unlikely for their buttons to be pressed. You wouldn't want your pack to explode while walking down the street.
You then make your way upstairs. The second floor is divided into two areas, a work area and a sleeping/office area. The work area has various machines that can be used to create the sorts of statues you saw in this place. At least that is your guess, given that there's a half-finished statue left on a pedestal, surrounded by 3 mechanical arms holding bulky machines. You note that there's the victim's scent near one of those machines. Maybe she used it to make the statue she had on her? It would explain why it was so different compared to the kinds of statues you saw here. There's also sacks of sand-like material and rods of metal, raw materials you assume. Next to them you find a fun machine that when activated it floats a certain distance above the ground. Probably used to carry raw materials or finished statues. It is however too large to carry, so you leave it be for now.
The sleep area is comparatively simple. Just a bed, a desk and a console. The console is locked and refuses to show you anything. Some nearby containers have clothes in them. Some are colorful and smooth, others look more like the sort of sturdier, utilitarian clothing Eiwhyl likes to wear. Hmm, maybe those would count as loot? The desk is more interesting. You find a locked cupboard on it. You use your strength to pry it open and it explodes in your face. The blast of fire is surprising but your natural resistance to heat and quick reflexes manage to protect you from the worst of the damage. The contents of the cupboard on the other hand are not so lucky. You do your best to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible but to your chagrin, many of the credits contained inside as well as a datapad are turned into charred chunks of plastic and molten electronics.
