Fujimaru: ...Okay, I got in!
Fujimaru: I stopped it temporarily.

Fujimaru: But it starts up at fixed intervals, so I couldn't completely stop it.
Fujimaru: If I did that, the sensors would begin running and notice there were intruders.

Fujimaru: We have to get through before it begins moving again.
Hibiki: Understood. Just to be sure, I'll go first to check if it's safe. You go through right after me.

SFX: Slowly...
