Morok Armory Laser-Grid Security System
A computer-driven security system guarding the Morok armory entrance, consisting of a grid of laser beams linked to a wall-mounted computer. The system verifies entrants by posing truth-verifying questions and unlocks access only for truthful answers. It has a critical flaw: repeated beam interruptions without replies flood the computer's error logs, causing it to overload and crash, thereby unlocking the armory. This vulnerability is exploited by Sita, who deliberately triggers the beams to cycle through questions until the system fails, allowing access to the weapons. Vicki also bypasses the system by responding 'Revolution is our purpose'—an honest yet evasive answer that the system accepts, enabling the Xeron rebellion to arm for their cause. The system's reliability is a key factor in the Xeron's confidence in their rebellion efforts, though its flaw ultimately undermines Morok security.
