As Blake led his team through the corridor at the right, he and the system began assessing the situation as they scanned the passages for traps.

[The scanners were not able to pick up the energy signature because whatever is controlling the ruin is only turning on when it wants to activate traps.] The system said.

'So we are dealing with an artificial intelligence like the one in Azekelwart's base?' Blake asked.

[No. If we are dealing with an artificial intelligence then it wouldn't be able to know the perfect time to activate a trap since it is turned off.] 

[My guess is that we are dealing with a cursed artifact that somehow merged or got control of the ruin's power core. It is able to sense our presence in the passages and turn the power core back on when needed] The system explained.
