"You know, that guy went to a lot of trouble to shut down the power. Are you sure turning it back on is a good idea? I'd say we just call this mission successful and go get paid. If there are any monsters behind that door, they can stay there and rot. Maybe one of you should use a laptop to check those CDs instead? Maybe they'll have some clues?"

Search around for anything that could contain information. Signs showing the way, warning signs, loose/crumpled paper, leaflets, operator manuals, ancient newspapers. If this was a high traffic area, then there must be some trash. If it was an important area, then there must be something to signify that importance. Maybe something like that can help me understand more about this place.

Edit: Oh, wait, are there smoke detectors or fire alarms? Maybe if I trigger an alarm the door will unlock so that people can escape. You know, fire safety and all that.

Spoiler: Sherry Bobbins: Special Human (Biomorhic Parasite) Handler (click to show/hide)

Name: Sherry Bobbins
Race and Profession: Special Human (Biomorhic Parasite) Handler
Description: A girl in her thirties with immaculate blonde curly hair. Wears frilly dresses and always carries an expensive-and-fragile-looking umbrella with a spiral pattern, despite spending most of her time underground.
Backstory: Lead a privileged life as a bureaucrat (a job her parents got her) before being assigned to this expedition. Though many saw being assigned to this expedition as punishment, she sees it as no different than any other assignment. Believes in her greatness and the greatness of humanity. Friendly and polite but distant. She feels no need to prove herself or show off despite how much she owes to her parents, but will try to ensure that whoever challenges her will think twice before doing so again.
Special ability: You can now alter yourself in the same capacity as the parasites, but each time you do you risk damaging your mind.

Frank listens to Sherry's argument, then shakes his head.

"But imagine what could be inside! Maybe there's old world tech, y'know? Gotta check!"

He bounces slightly as he speaks, obviously excited at the concept of a new discovery.

Frank examines the panel further for any sort of access port or maintenance panel that he could open, in hopes that he could mess around with the internal wiring to try to get the door open anyways.

Spoiler: Frank (click to show/hide)

Name: Franklin Walker
Race and Profession: Ordinary Human Tinker
Description: Looks extremely average as far as humans go. Medium length dirty-blonde hair. A little shorter than six feet. Has a fancy mustache that he likes to twirl when getting excited about machines.
Backstory: Frank grew up in Nede, and has only rarely seen the surface before, never for extended periods of time. Due to his natural proclivity of working with machines, he quickly joined the Tinker guild, and was just as quickly assigned to this mission by the guild. Equal parts earnest and practical, he decided that to ensure his survival on this mission he would buy a full body hardsuit so he didn't croak before finding cool old-world relics.

It seems that all the paper-type things that would have been here are long deteriorated. However, when Sherry examines the console she finds writing next to the key slot thing that says "Insert Security Card to access Gate Key Port"

She doesn't see any alarms or anything like that.

Frank listens to Sherry's argument, then shakes his head.

"But imagine what could be inside! Maybe there's old world tech, y'know? Gotta check!"

Use a lock pick to unlock the door and look inside the newly unlocked room

As it turns out, the door wasn't locked, just out of power. Nora notices a large button, and upon pressing it, the door slides open.

"Where's your sense of adventure? We can easily handle any monsters that may be hidden behind that door and there may valuable loot behind there too. I'll have a quick look at the CDs while we're getting that door opened."

Arp follows Nora into the new room.

The room is small, maybe the size of a large storage closet. It appears bare, except for an object against the far wall. It's too dark to make it out, but whatever it is roundish and a bit bigger than a human. The shape is perfectly still, but something right in front of it glints in the light.

[Devastator]

It's unsanitary to leave your rotting corpses in more than the minimum number of rooms!

Wait around with the bashy club until it's my turn to gawp at the shiny object.  If monsters, do club.
