"So my vibe is like that, folks. I'm thinking it might be literally bad mojo to pull the etheric stone while it has some charge in it, like maybe worse than sparks or jet of woo-cold bad. Looks like y'all drained much of the mojo I put into it, so maybe we find a way to drain the rest of it out, then we pull it?"

"I dunno...if we yank th' stone, no tellin' if we can fix this place again. An' it feels kinna neat. There's somethin' about this place that's honestly a little mesmerizin', even if it's weird and forebodin' t' boot. Plus th' hell are we gonna do with a magical power stone that can't power nothin' no more?"
"Dunno, pretty sure this power for this hear room is probably the same sort of power for the doors and other things in these metal rooms, at least pretty sure guess. But I can try to take it if we drain it, or leave it here if anyone else wants to take a helmet ride."

An extra door sliding open and shut near the entrance to the room.
OOC: This is the door I was asking about. If I'm reading it right, it does open, but I take it it's just rock benind the door?
Oh sorry.
It is an additional door to the room you are in. The entrance door with red/green panel and extra door somehow controlled with buttons or switches from the window seats.
