Advanced alarm trap guarding the theater and throne room doors, harvested by Carl in passing.
Story so far
An advanced alarm trap and a trap door trap sit in front of both the Surgical Theater and The Throne Room of The Madness Castle. Carl notes the trap door trap as interesting and worth examining later, but has no time for it now.
He quickly takes all of them and stores them away — a routine harvest that leaves the doors to Houston's inner sanctum entirely unguarded, letting Bigs walk straight into the throne room and start the six-hour capture clock.
Appearance
A standard trap module of the small variety, dwarfed by the shoebox-sized breach traps inside the theater.
Role
Door defenses Carl strips before assaulting the theater and throne room.
