modaphor[Without warning, all the lights in the facility go out.
The good news is, it's only a temporary scare. When they come back up, they're not flickering nearly as badly as they were before; the lights in the hallways are holding steadier, and the glow is perhaps a little stronger than it was before. It's hard to say what might've caused the outage — faulty wiring? A malfunctioning generator? Or maybe it was a surge caused by something else drawing off a lot of the available power at once...
Regardless, what follows after the blackout is a pretty audible sound of steel moving, rather like a particularly massive door opening. It's also a bit like the thunder that follows a flash of lightning, isn't it? How thematically appropriate.
Assuming you're the type to investigate that sort of thing, you may notice that the door to Arche's Chamber is now open, revealing the interior of the room in all its multi-monitored, softly glowing glory. Sure, it might look a little imposing, but it's also apparent that there's activity taking place on those monitors — lines of code and descriptions of processes flying by at rapid speed as whatever it is that's occupying this room goes about its work.
Unfortunately, there are no visible consoles, nor are there any apparent ways of accessing the wiring of this particular...whatever this is. There's a platform, though, raised up a number of steps off the ground floor. Maybe you should try that? Looks like there's room for twelve up there.
And as a matter of fact, if you make it up to the top of that platform, you'll see there's one main screen at about speaking level that's comprised entirely of static — or was, at least, until you made it up there, at which time it shifted to present a single word in white lettering on black: ]
HELLO.
[...Maybe you should talk to it...?]
