Just before pulling the lever, you grab a heavy book from a nearby shelf and slam it into the keypad, damaging its circuitry. This quick action might prevent Nulltron from overriding the system while you continue your exploration.Spotting the wires running from the lever into the walls, you decide to delay pulling it and instead follow their trail. Venturing into the mansion’s maintenance passages, you aim to uncover what lies at the other end of the connection.The cryptic keypad message, "Only the worthy may proceed," catches your attention, and you notice faint ultraviolet patterns on the walls.

You pull the lever firmly, causing the mansion to tremble as Nulltron’s voice reverberates, "System override acknowledged. Initiating recalibration protocol."
