[x] Investigate further
You can't back out of this now. Your curiosity has the best of you. You carefully walk up to the door. You open the door very discretely. The door does not even make a noise as it opens inwards. Immediately you hear the machine-like noise intensify in volume. The room itself is dimly illuminated. The only source of light seems to be a strange green glow that's coming from one of the corners. Scratch that, it's not coming from a corner. Instead, the glow is coming from a door on the far end that's open. You think that it's the source of the sound as well.
You tepidly walk into the room, feeling a bit wary. As you cross the room, you start to realize the nature of the green light. It's moving. Yes it's definitely moving. This causes the illumination in the room you're in to fluctuate. The noise intensifies even more as you approach. There's absolutely no doubt about it now, this is the source. You feel a bit restless and excited to know what's going on. As you approach the open door to see what it's all about, you realize that there's a massive room beyond the doorway. You stand in the doorway and examine what's beyond.
The room is completely dark, save for two things. One is a bright green beam of light emanating from a machine in the left part of the room. The machine seems to be the source of noise, and it's clear that it's vibrating a bit as it works. The other is a series of small objects that seem to be on the far side of the room, opposite the machine. They have an almost ghostly quality to them, emitting a pale white light that's projected no more than a couple of meters from their location. They also seem to be floating, but you can't tell if it's an optical illusion or of it's magic. In the pale green glow that is spread all across of the room, you see a familiar figure. Eirin is standing, apparently observing something with her back turned to you. You think that you can make out in her hand some sort of control mechanism, as her gestures in the darkness seem to translate into an action for the green beam of light.
You continue to watch the scene.
The green beam of light is now starting to sweep from left to right. It's going right for the first of the floating objects. As expected, it soon makes contact with it. But what happens, is completely unexpected for you. There is a large audible 'explosion' as the object (a simple white rod) distorts itself and ultimately seems to break up into millions of tiny particles. It's a dazzling sight, and the whole room is illuminated briefly. The beam continues relentlessly, now going towards the second object. This time it's a cube of sorts. The beam connects with it, and just as before a large exploding sound comes and the object is scattered into millions of particles. It makes you feel uneasy, as you can tell that the beam is some sort of concentrated laser or stream of energy that appears to be quite destructive. It would be smart not to toy around with something like this.
The beam interacts with the rest of the objects with out fail. Every time the results are repeated. It's quite the destructive display of force. After the beam is done with the last object you snap back to reality. That was truly impressive, but you don't know why that was happening. You guess that talking to Eirin would be a good idea and you step forward, with the intention to talk to her. But just then, something completely unforeseen happens. It's the beam. It seems to be swiveling towards Eirin's (and ultimately your) position. You can see Eirin try to do something with the remote she has in her hand, but it appears to no be very effective. She tries again, more frantically. You watch in a daze as the beam slowly approaches her. Would Eirin also blow up in a million different pieces? Your heart starts beating fast as you realize that this situation can potentially become disastrous. You've got to do something. There's only a few moments before the beam connects with Eirin, you don't think she could get out of the way in time, since the beam seems to be following her (or at least her position).
You start to move before you know it. If you sprinted at full speed you think that you could maybe knock her out of the way, it's not much but maybe by lying on the floor you could escape it. Or maybe you could try to hit the machine, it's probably nearer to you than Eirin. A forcible hit might turn it off, or hell you might even find a plug or something. Time to make a snap decision. Goddamn never having a plan!
[] Tackle Eirin to the floor
[] Get between Eirin and the beam
[] Try to disable the machine
[] Bolt the hell out of there

Last update for a bit (?), I got sidetracked with the Kanon leaked translation thingy... uguu~
Gonna grab some grub, and that should motivate me to write more maybe.
