You enter the final chamber.

It's medium-sized, dominated by a large round gate of sparkling silver in the back. Dozens of monitors and computer consoles line the walls and a pedestal in the center supports a circular podium. And there you can see Sooth Silver, a young woman, very stressed, working frantically at the controls of the podium.

She looks down at you: "You are too late, fools!"
She sets her hand on a large button and immediately the screens flicker to frantic activity and the gate begins to spin. "In mere minutes, the Primaeval shall return to this land! And there's nothing you can do to stop it!"

You gasp as a turret springs from the floor, turns at you and lets out a barrage of energy projectiles.

Understanding: Additional Information

Sooth Silver is hiding great pain and conflict. In fact, she is very fragile and does not wish for the Primaeval to return nor is she as determined as she seems to be.

Perception: Additional Information

If you could get close enough to the turret, you could turn it off. You can see its shutdown switch.
