Object
Horus Tomb Relay Switch
A recessed panel switch embedded in the antechamber’s stone pillar, its surface etched with Horus’s hieroglyphic circuit diagrams. The red energy pulsing through its terminals casts a faint glow on Sutekh’s face as he identifies it as a power conductor terminal. When activated by his touch, the switch shifts inward to reveal the concealed passage behind, its mechanism emitting a low hum as the bulkhead slides aside. Marcus handles it warily, recognizing its role as a security override. The switch’s abrupt activation triggers the bulkhead’s concealed mechanism, accelerating Sutekh’s escape.
