[ He stays silent, just watching curiously now that something other than combat seems to be the way out of this. Not that he's bad at speaking, but it's hard to carry on negotiations when you only have a small piece of the puzzle, so to speak.
Once the demon departs, leaving nothing behind to show for it but the wreckage of its violence, he speaks up again. ]
No real answers there, hm? We'd better collect all the data we can and review it later, before our oxygen runs out. [ It's not really in danger of doing so right now, but the less time they spend here the better. Who knows what else might be attracted to this place.
He floats forward and into the room proper, immediately attracted to the machinery. This is the part he clearly has experience with; he pauses to snap photos with his suit camera from as many angles as possible before prying the machines open, dismantling them with brutal efficiency. If they were in an oxygenated environment, where sound traveled, Shiro would be able to hear the whirring, hissing sounds of his suit's gauntlets reconfiguring themselves for the work of cracking open machinery. ]
I know most of these - they're industrial grade machinery for manufacturing or analysing material, [ he explains as he goes. ] What I'm looking for is internal data storage. If they were following standard protocol, they'd strip the machines and clean them out as they went, but they probably didn't have enough time to do more than just leave - if they left at all.
The computers are easy enough - just take the hard drives, leave the rest. They're modern models, so there shouldn't be a need for specialized hardware to read them.
[ He pauses in the middle of his lecture, lingering at one machine that burns with the embers of chaos energy. ] This one isn't industrial grade. Some kind of laser cutter, but not a model I'm familiar with...probably a custom build.
[ It looks fairly simple - a sturdy, clear box on a stand, and a laser cutter attached to a flexible arm within. A chunk of umbriolite sits in the case, a symbol of some sort half-burned into it. ]
Not sure what it was carving before it stopped, though. It's probably demon-related.
