Getting hands-on with a minotaur reveals a few things about Vex anatomy. There's a local power supply, that's simple enough, but it's intertwined with what looks like the comms system (which is nigh indistinguishable from central processing). Nor does the power supply extend out to any recharge ports. Additionally, the milky fluid she might have seen spurting from a few of the broken Vex is here too, around the processors. If Samus is doing any analysis, she'll notice it's not coolant - the stuff's biological. Radiolarian soup.

//We need to shut it down. This is just an access point.// the Ghost responds. Her optics are recovering - faster than the minotaurs', it must be said - but Blaze is working largely by feel as she presses her fusion rifle against the break she's made and holds the trigger.

"Don't worry," she says aloud, shoving the husk aside and lunging for the hazy column of light. Extending a hand, she lets the Ghost out to work on the interface, then looks around to check on Samus.
