What next?
Examine the large metal machine
The walk back to the machine is not without some annoyance, needing to move aside a few small tables before reaching it. One even falls over entirely, a rather loud sound in an otherwise quiet room.
The machine is larger than you, mostly metal, and rather intimidating. It has a single chair-like seat in the center, which is surrounded by various metallic arms with unknown purposes. You can make out at least a few- there are thin needles, large glass jars, and even one arm which is seemingly devoid of an attachment, instead coming to a rounded end. There's a strap housed to the upper right of where someone would presumably sit, most likely for restraining purposes.
Do you sit in the seat?
