She cuts into the glass of the airlock, and luckily nothing explodes. The first layer cuts with a bit of effort, and the second layer will do much the same. It doesn't actually seem like there was much air in the end chamber, because the smell is completely stale once it's open, but it's more uncomfortably thin than completely absent. Like being at the top of a mountain, rather than the vacuum of space.
Of course, with the airlocks broken, air form the main room will escape inwards, balancing it out a little. The lights are annoyingly bright, and with the purely white walls, it's hard to look at.
As the group moves inward, they'll come up to the containment bed - it almost looks like some kind of cryo chamber from the outside. What's inside is a bit more daunting. There's a lot of take in.
It's Ignatius, ostensibly, but there's a lot gone wrong. The most immediate realization is that both his arms and legs have been amputated above the elbows and knees, with their ends coated in metal plating the same void-like color as Herbert's arms. Tubes of something bright blue plug into the ends of his limbs, along with a cascade of other wires, all connecting directly to the black bed beneath him.
Most of his skin has turned various shades of ugly bruise-purple, and his chest is almost completely concave with a metal framework that's built into it, caging the space around his Heart in some kind of device. There's a power cell in the center of it, identical to the ones that Peridot just picked up. The easiest guess is that the cell is charging with power from his core.
There's no reaction from him when they enter, not least because he's limbless and completely shackled down, with some kind of black metal face plate covering his eyes, ears, and mouth. Around the back of his head, there is a crown like device that attached to his temples, and over his scalp and to the middle of his forehead. Wires attach to it in several places, as if they are plugged into his skull. A larger plug can be seen going into the back of his neck.
cw: probably disturbing
