I'm going to look around for some dust or something similar that could be tossed onto the lasers (hopefully making them somewhat visible). I'll check my pockets, the floor and the walls, but I will make sure not to get close to where the lasers seem to be (i.e. where my clothes got burnt).
What do you all think about closing the door? Good idea? Bad? If it locks we're likely to be trapped, but it may be useful to have shut; it might make the lasers more visible, or might help block out the O3, giving us more time. I'll leave it open for now, since we seem to have quite a while before we suffocate; better to leave it open for now just in case?
After searching and collecting any dust (or equivalent) that I can find, I'll toss a sleeve of my jumpsuit over a section of the metal that does not have a slit in it (let's go with the area to my right between the first slit and the white space). I shall do my best to keep the sleeve low over the ground. I'll pull it back after about a second. Did the sleeve burn?
We need to find a better way of probing this room than burning our clothes! I'd be tempted to try and get some steam into this room, but I'm not sure how easily/safely that could be done. Do you think that opening both doors in the Metal Room would do it? It might do the trick....
Also, anyone have any thoughts as to why the panel would be on the floor? My first guess would be that it may be an indication that we should crawl along the ground, but I'm not so sure about that.... It's just a guess, and could prove to be a deadly assumption.
