Mixtli finds assorted crates of supplies, salvage, and abandoned projects, but nothing currently running that seems it would be instrumental in turning off the construct. He does find a tattered notebook that may be informative, but it would take some time to thumb through it and see if there was anything of use in there.

Mixtli will pocket the notebook, before heading back out hoping to get the possibility to have a look in the other room.

((Make another stealth check, flat roll from the others distracting the construct as you creep about.))
Tandor, meanwhile, keeps up an inspection of the body and a running commentary to the construct. The priest is coming around to the conclusion that either a poison or allergic reaction is likely the cause, and while there is a distinction between the two, if it was done intentionally, the end result is the same. He finds no other punctures or markings on the body that would indicate an injection or topical application, belatedly relieved that she likely doesn't have something lethal smeared on the skin he's been handling. Most probably mode of entry was ingestion. Thus far nothing from the construct has given an indication that it would be capable of intentionally poisoning its creator, but it certainly seems that it could have done so inadvertently.

Mixtli keeps a hand on his armor to keep it from jangling as he moves carefully across the workshop and slips into the much smaller room that shares a back wall with the forge, though the forgebrick is so thick and insulating that it is only slightly warmer than the workshop. He finds a cozy little bedroom, the covers neatly arranged, and some less technical books on the shelf above the small writing desk. The novel she must have currently been reading sits on a nightstand beside the bed, bookmark hanging down. Overall, much less cluttered than the workshop, though he does recall that the rest of the lab did endure the attempt by the other crew to subdue the construct. He also notes that the scent of the bedroom is more floral and spicy, the scent of chemicals and grease of the workshop kept at bay.
Mixtli wonders if their might be some kind of notebook/journal in here so he starts to look

Mixtli heads over to the nightstand and looks through the books on its surface, before popping open the drawer, and finding a diary, a strange non-dip pen, and a polished metal ovoid, of a size that rests comfortably in his palm. It has a few etched and inscribed areas on its surface.
((Mixtli, let's have an Intelligence check, with proficiency.))
In the other room, the construct finishes making tea and brings a steaming cup over to its dead creator, placing it down beside her arm and stepping back. It continues looking at Tandor.

Not only does Mixtli realize that this device is for issuing commands to the construct, he's pretty sure he could use it to re-key the construct to recognize a new master, or at least as having the authority to be obeyed in its creator's stead. He further deduces that it likely largely responded to her voice commands, but having a remote device like this would allow her to summon it if she needed something in the night. Possibly of most immediate use is an inscribed button with a symbol meaning something akin to 'rest' or 'sleep'.

Tandor leans over and sniffs the tea. Then, if he deems it safe to do so, he dips his little finger lightly in the tea, sniffs it again, and then lightly touches it to his tongue.
Mixtli will walk to the door, not opening it yet, and will try the 'sleep' button.

The tea has a sweet scent to it, not unlike honey, but also not unlike the odor he detected on the body. Tandor looks over to the side table where the construct had been preparing the tea, but everything is back in its place, and he was more focused on examining the dead researcher to be certain whether or not honey had been added to the tea.

Trencher watches everyone slowly moving, or not moving and watching....and tries to not fidget with impatience.
When he sees Tandor dipping his finger and then about to taste the tea, after just a bit ago talking about death by poison...he takes a quick intake of breath, but then says, kinda quietly, to himself apparently to reassure himself, "Well, I guess he knows what he is doing...."
