[The sliding door pulls aside to reveal a substantially larger chamber. If the previous room was purposed for examination and maintenance, this one is clearly some type of storage hub: Rows of the same type of charging station that the black 'bot had come out of line each wall, closed in by blue-green glass and marked with unit numbers. There are easily three dozen of the stations in total, all but a spare few occupied. All of the 'bots within, though, are thankfully motionless.
At least until the portal closes once again. Then, several of the stations' covers begin to retract as their units come to life. Streams of letters and numbers rush across most of the others, like a display screen of sorts - some kind of "booting up" process?
Laura won't have much time to think on it, because as soon as the first 'bot is out of its chamber it's coming straight for her, gliding rapidly across the floor. This one's black exterior swoops up into a vaguely equine shape around its head; both its arms are tipped with a long, sharp, and rapidly vibrating spike. And while that black knight is rushing in to attempt to spear Laura, more of its kind are waking up...
If Takane hurries, she might be able to shut down some of the 'bots that haven't gotten free from their ports yet, but otherwise the numbers are going to be out of the team's favor very soon.]
