The player's path is blocked by a large cluster of [[nodules]]. Beyond their reach, the player sees a very prominent [[alarm]], illuminated to draw attention. There is a [[trigger]] hidden in the nodule cluster with a long, winding relay trail leading to the alarm.
## mechanics
- [[alarm]]
- [[trigger]]
- [[relay]]
## dynamics
- When the trigger is activated, the signal visually propagates through the relay chain.
- When the signal reaches the alarm, it activates with a strong audio-visual cue.
## aesthetics
- Learning: there are grunk elements that react poorly to being destroyed.
- The grunk doesn't want to be cleaned!
- Learning: what alarms are, what they look like, that they should watch out.
