The retinal scanner is now nonfunctional.

The door pings and pops and sizzles - it was holding a LOT of heat. It even buckles a little as the metal warps. When you turn the cooled wheel, the door opens.

Bright orange light assaults your eyes. At the center of the room is a massive behemoth of a machine, miles of working (but empty) conveyor belts leading into its fiery maw. It has been built in the shape of an oversized Guzzlord, but you know it's nonliving, it's truly a machine. Seems they have set up an incinerator here, along with some simple robots to help disassemble the things that need to be incinerated. There are slots for smaller items, like files, but the heat is so high that close to the machine that it would be impossible to approach them right now. Out the back, the machine has a big wound, the metal bent sideways and drippy with melted alloy. Ashes and bone remnants have spilled from this side. The hole in the machine is mirrored by a similar hole in the wall behind it. A mechanical/electrical humming sound comes from the revealed room in that direction, but it sounds arrhythmic. Looks like the hole was torn through some kind of big conduit, which for some reason has chunks of concrete inside.

Apparently, opening the door has disturbed something. It drags itself forth from the flames inside the incinerator and hauls itself upright. At first glance, it looks like a Magmortar, wreathed in flames. A further look reveals that it is massively oversized, and its belly has mutated to resemble the Guzzlordian mouth of the incinerator. It launches a warning shot from one armcannon which melts the steel pillar between you and it.
