Across from Room #8 is another wide-open room. This one has a large window that allows a view of the hall to the entry.
There are also several metal and glass-looking shelves, some with blinking lights. There is someone sitting in one of the chairs.
If these "shelves" (control panels) are touched, some will light up and noises can be heard. In one case an alien voice (a recording) can be heard.
The someone sitting in the chair is long dead. The skeleton looks like a cross between a human and a snake. It is wearing one of the suits found in previous rooms.
The badge the skeleton has on its uniform appears to be gold.
[NOTE: if any character is a Dragonborn or the equivalent, then they are very, very uneasy around this skeleton but can't tell you why.]
--
The someone is a dead Ophidian officer.
The voice is a recorded message from a shuttle crew trying to leave the ship before the crash. They, along with their shuttle, are buried a few hundred miles west of here and 300 ft. down.
Dragonborn and Ophidians are ancient enemies. Their hatred is buried deep in their collective unconsciousnesses.
